*****************************************************

The Beatles Two-Track Playtapes<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />


The first Beatles 2-track PLAYTAPES appeared on the market in 1967 when almost all of the Capitol Beatles album catalog was issued. They were made for, and only fit, the PLAYTAPE MUSIC MACHINE. This short-lived format was an attempt to market a compact portable music system, and was similiar in design (but was much,much smaller) than the then-current 4-track and 8-track tape cartridge formats. PLAYTAPES were a miserable flop and they lasted less than 2 years, disappearing from the market in early 1969. Today these are highly collectible and seldom seen. PLAYTAPE tapes came blister-packed on a cardboard backing. This auction is only for the cartridge and not for the backing card.

ALMOST EVERYTHING IS MINT OR VG+ AND I WILL TRY MY BEST TO PUT A CONSERVATIVE GRADE ON ALL.
