The compact 33 was an experimental (and short-lived) disc format of the early 1960s. The disc measures seven inches in diameter (45 sized), has a small center hole, and plays at 33-1/3 RPM. The format was used primarily for mono and stereo singles. Collectors hoard these Beatles and Beach Boys Capitol 33 EPs.
Capitol issued stereo compact 33 disks for jukebox play ONLY which is why they are so hard to find and impossible to find this nice. These 7 inch records had a small center hole (solid center) and played at 33 1/3 r.p.m. Three Beatles and Beach Boys compact 33 series are the most sought after by collectors, and were manufactured by Capitol's Scranton factory. The black label has an outer rim color band and Capitol logo at the bottom. They all came with hard-cover picture sleeves, but most you will ever see are heavily damaged.
