COMMENTS
|
In Germany, the
"Magical Mystery Tour" soundtrack was released as a special
double E.P.
package, too. As The Beatles had six songs for release, it was decided that they would release a double-EP set. The package came with a gatefold sleeve and a 28-page book, including lyrics. Both the front and back covers were laminated, and inner pockets held the two 7 inch EP disks. A 24 page book, plus a sheet of lyrics, was stapled into the middle. The lyric sheet was on light blue paper. At the inner pocket, the old Apple mark, which looks like a drawing, and the word "Apple Presents" was printed. Germany issued several EP's which have neither a British nor an American counterpart. As EP's proved to be unpopular, most of them did not sell extremely well, although they were (basically) reissued when Germany adopted the EEC numbering system in 1969. At that time, Magical Mystery Tour was renumbered as 1C029-615/6, but by 1972 Magical Mystery Tour was removed from the catalog and was replaced with the American-lineup LP. The Odeon green label EP's appear in two different styles. The first of these styles, features the following print around the rim of the label: ALLE HERSTELLER. UND URHEBERRECHTE VORBEHALTEN ÜBERSPIELUNG ÖFFENTLICHE AUFFÜHRUNG UND RUNDFUNKSENDUNG UNTERSAGT with "STEREO" in black on a white rectangle. The second label style, in mid-1966, the rim print was changed on all Odeon releases to read: URHEBER. UND LEISTUNGSSCHUTZRECHTE, BESONDERS VERVIELFÄLTIGUNG (AUSSER ZUM PERSONLICHEN GEBRAUCH), VERMIETUNG. AUFFÜHRUNG, SENDUNG, VORBEHALTEN The only EP to have come out originally in the Urheber style is Magical Mystery Tour. The word "stereo" on this EP is not found on a white rectangle. *GEMA=German music authors' society |
