General Information Artist: The Beatles Title: Beatles VI Label: Capitol Records / Playtape Catalog number: T-2358 / No. 0528 Format: Playtape 2-Track Tape Cartridge Year: 1966 Country: USA / Japan Edition: Vintage Original, Factory-Sealed Blister Pack Genre: Rock / Pop Rock Description "Beatles VI" was originally released by Capitol Records in June 1965 as the band's ninth album tailored specifically for the North American market. Following the 1966 launch of the innovative Playtape portable music system created by Frank Stanton, select songs were licensed for release on these compact 2-track tape cartridges. Designed to fit the portable Playtape "Music Machine" players, this extended play cartridge features four classic tracks spread across two channels: "Kansas City", "You Like Me Too Much", "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party", and "What You're Doing". Due to Playtape's short production run between 1966 and 1970, surviving cartridges remain among the most fascinating and obscure chapters in 1960s audio history. Condition Tape: Presumed MINT (unplayed) Case: Factory-sealed, never opened (Original yellow blister card shows edge wear, corner creasing, and vintage green crayon scribbles on the back; clear blister bubble remains intact and securely attached to the cardback) Notes for collectors This is an extraordinarily scarce piece of Beatles physical media memorabilia. Original Playtape cartridges in unplayed condition—especially those still factory-sealed on their original yellow retail hanging blister card—are exceedingly rare. Manufactured in Japan for the US market, this item features the full original end label visible through the bottom blister edge, displaying the official catalog number T-2358 and Playtape sequence NO. 0528. An essential acquisition for serious Beatles completists, 1960s audio format historians, and high-end pop culture collectors.
