The Beatles France LP: Original Released

The word "B.I.E.M. CHAPPELL" was printed on the label of side_A instead of "BIEM" logo in box.

According to Mr. AurŽlie, records with the BIEM, BIEM CHAPPEL or DR logos were pressed in the 60s - but the SACEM logo did not appear on French records before 1971/1972. (Thanks!)

The song title of the 7th track of side-A, "Please Mister Postman", was printed "Please Mr. Postman" on both the back cover and label, and 3rd track of side_B, "You really got a hold on me", was printed "You really gotta hold on me" on both the back cover and label.

"Please Please Me U.K. press" was introduced on the back cover because this album was the first issue in France.

The "EMI" logo was printed on both side of the cover.

This label has the similar layout to the type-1. The difference are the credit around the label and the printing type.

The "EMI" logo was printed on both side of the cover.
