Rarest 8-Track Ever?

The Beatles – 20 Greatest Hits
(Capitol Records 8XL-8336, 1982)

This tape is widely known as one of the Top 3 of the World’s Rarest 8 Track Cartridges. Shortly before it’s release in 1982, Capitol Records decided at the last minute that the tape would NOT be released, and all copies were ordered destroyed.

Mr. Bucks Burnett, curator of the former Eight Track Museum of Dallas Texas counts this tape as one of the most expensive titles ever, having paid nearly $1,000.00 for a sealed copy. Mr. Burnett says “It’s hard to estimate it’s true worth because they never come up for sale and that less than 10 copies are known to exist” and to date, only 3 copies have surfaced in 32 years. (You can now make that 4 copies!)

Mr. Perry Cox, widely recognized as one of the world’s leading authorities and dealers in the world of Beatles collectibles says “This is definitely the last Capitol Beatles 8 track ever made” and is SO rare, that he has only seen two copies, and he sold his sealed copy to Mr. Bucks!
