COMMENTS		Black Parlophone label with silver ink. Label rim: Made in India by The Gramophone Co. of India (Private) Ltd. Permitted User. "Regd. Td. Mks. of The Parlophone Co., Ltd." was printed under the Parlophone logomark. The DPE xxx catalogue releases appear to have been releases specific to Indian market and beyond like Far East. This record was cut locally from UK-supplied tapes. Matrix numbers for these Beatles releases in India begin with 7XPEI.xxxx on 45's in the DPE range which seems to apply to India only releases, not India versions of UK 45's, they had 7XCE xxxxx matrix numbers. Probably, the I on 7XPEI stood for India. In 1964 India had labels with “Made in India” at the bottom of the label, six o’clock. By fall 1964 they were issuing the “Limited Liability” rim print on black labels which had Made in India at 10 o’clock and the LL jargon at 2 o’clock. Sometime in 1965 the next version had black labels with “Private” in the message around the rim, at 2 o’clock, still with Made in India at 10 o’clock. So, some Beatles India Parlophone singles have up to 3 black label versions.
