COMMENTS
 Silver Parlophone and A.K.A. "Banner" STEREO label.
The label has a second line of rim print reading, "Made in Australia by E.M.I. (Australia) Limited."
Housed in a twin-flipback printed cover. Have the gold and black stereo sticker.

A somewhat confusing list for stereo pressings! It appears that around 1967, EMI Australia introduced UK -3/-3 cuts then reverted side 1 back to the UK -2 cut in the early 1970s. Around 1972 both sides were recut locally, retaining the -3/-3 lacquer numbers. Perhaps EMI Australia was confused, but subsequent pressings up until 1982 have been confirmed with either UK, AU, or a mix of both, -3 cuts. An Australian cut can be identified by a taller and narrower font than that used on original UK pressings.
(According to "The Beatles Australia Album Labelography")
