Twist and Shout ST 6054: A rare 1983 re-issue on translucent vinyl

This rare and unusual re-issue of Twist and Shout was pressed in 1983 on brown translucent vinyl.  The pressing rings indicate it was probably pressed by Cinram, a company that Capitol occasionally contracted for work.

Only three copies are known to exist indicating that this pressing may have been a sample product or trial run for Capitol that was somehow released into the market.  There are no known regular black vinyl pressings of this record by Cinram.

I has also been reported, but not confirmed, that some copies of Beatlemania on the same translucent brown vinyl exist.  Could there be a Long Tall Sally out there?    

The only confirmed sale of Twist and Shout that I know of on  translucent vinyl sold for $430.
