The Jukebox EP ( also known as a Little LP (LLP), Jukebox LP, Mini LP or Compact 33) was a 7-inch vinyl record with up to three songs on each side, that played at 33?? rpm in stereo, and had a small center hole. They were first introduced in late 1961.  The Jukebox EP became more popular when it was picked up by Seeburg for use in their new jukebox's in September 1962. The Seeburg version of the Little LP was in stereo, came with title strips, and had a color cover for display in the jukebox. A number of record companies signed up in the beginning, and by 1963 there were 233 titles available with over 1,000 by 1966. Little LPs were also made for other jukebox manufacturers such as Wurlitzer, Rock-Ola and ATI.

I consider the Jukebox EP to be the Ultimate "Promo" since it was authorized and licensed by both the artist and label, yet was manufactured and distributed by a third party.  In addition, quantities made of these items were much smaller than the original 12" version - usually just 5,000 - 7,000 copies at it's height and closer to 1,000 units at the end in the mid 1970's.

Just in time for Christmas, this auction features special Holiday Jukebox EP's by four of the top vocalists of the 1960's.  This auction offers four great Christmas albums that were released as Jukebox EP's.

Peggy Lee - Christmas Carousel (1960) comes with four (still attached), the title strip header and two mini photos (used for wall box display).  Cover & Record are VG+ or nicer.

Bing Crosby - Merry Christmas (1963) comes with two title strips.  Cover has seam split on the top as well as a small split on the bottom.  This is a used record.

Andy Williams - The Andy Williams Christmas Album (1963) comes with a title strip and one mini photo (used for wall box display).  There is a seam split on the bottom and the record is used.  

Brenda Lee - Merry Christmas (1964) comes with two title strips, still attached with footer as well as one mini photo (for wall box display).  There is a seam split on the bottom and the record is used.

All four records are "Jukebox Used".  The Covers are at least VG- with some seam splits.  The records are used.  I don't clean records, but with some care, these records will look nicer than I have graded them.  Please remember that Jukebox's were not kind to vinyl records - so I am grading these records with that in mind.  These Jukebox EP's are wonderful pieces of American history and still highly collectible today.   It's nearly impossible to find all four of these titles offered together in one auction not to mention with title strips included.  All of these EP's are at least 57 years old and Peggy Lee is 60!  If you buy them today, you should receive them in time for the Holiday.

These extremely rare Jukebox ep's are being sold from one collector to another.

If you have any questions or would like more information, do not hesitate to ask.

Good luck, and thanks for looking!
