Item 8.01   OTHER EVENTS.

On July 19, 2007, K-tel International, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company has finalized its going private transaction, which was effected through a reverse split of the Company’s common stock.  Under the terms of the reverse split, each 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was converted into one share of common stock and owners of fewer than 5,000 shares of common stock on July 17, 2007 will receive cash of $.095 per pre-split share.  Immediately following the reverse split, the Company effected a 5,000-for-1 forward split, so that the number of shares held by each owner of at least 5,000 shares of common stock prior to the reverse split is unchanged following the forward split.  Because the reverse split and payment of cash for fractional shares reduced the number of shareholders of record of the Company below 300, on July 19, 2007, the Company filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission terminating its filing obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.  Also on July 19, 2007, the Company filed a final post-closing amendment to its Schedule 13E-3 reporting the results of the going private transaction.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
