COMMENTS		Japanese 8th E.P. Promotional record. In Japan, promotional records have traditionally been provided at no charge to radio stations, record shops, and the mass media to increase the sales of a record or in some cases to promote a tour. There are two main types of promotional releases. The first type is called "White label promo" for which a unique label has been made. Sometimes unique cover art accompanies a white label promo release but most usually, the regular cover is used with appropriate alternations to prohibit commercial sale. The second type of promo record is less elabolate and is called a "Sticker promo". It is simply a regular commercial release that has had a promo sticker affixed to the cover and usually the obi, if any. This type of promo is occasionally found on post-1975 releases. The label design of Odeon White label promo EPs is very similar to that of regular commercial Odeon EPs. The promo version, however, features the perimeter print, Odeon logo, and circled text in red and all other printing is black. The print in black has an unusual "hand lettered" look to it quite unlike the regular commercial version. The release date is in black and appears above and the left of the title. Note the two Japanese characters at the left hand corner and compare them to those previously shown on the stickers. Approximate translation of the text is: "Sample under Article 10, Clause 2 of the Commodity Tax Law". This appears to be a tax exemption notice. "She Loves You" (as "Sie liebt dich") was one of the two songs rerecorded by The Beatles at the Pathe Marconi Studios in Paris (the other being "Komm gib mir deine Hand"). The original stereo master tape is widely believed to have been lost, since every release of the song has been in mono. How the stereo tape was lost has never been fully ascertained. Although the track has never been released in true stereo officially,which were released in "Duophonic" (Electronically Simulated Stereo). This E.P. was manufactured two ways: both Black and Red vinyl.

COMMENTS		Promotional Record. The 3rd. label change was the expiration of Toshiba's contract with Apple, resulting in the discontinuance of the Apple label. Toshiba had already begun use of the new EMI/Odeon label as early as 1976 on certain new releases not covered under the Apple label. By the early 1980's, the EMI/Odeon label had completely supplanted the Apple label on all Beatles releases. When the record label change, the EMI/Odeon logo also replaced the Apple logo on the front sleeves of all records. The promo label coloring of EMI/Odeon EP is essentially the inverse of the commercial version. That is, the black print and white background of the promo version is the "negative" of the commercial version that has the same design but uses light print on a black background. The promo version lacks the perimeter print of the commercial version. And of course promo characters and release date do not appear on the commercial version.

COMMENTS		Reissue of #8-10. The 3rd. label change was the expiration of Toshiba's contract with Apple, resulting in the discontinuance of the Apple label. Toshiba had already begun use of the new EMI/Odeon label as early as 1976 on certain new releases not covered under the Apple label. By the early 1980's, the EMI/Odeon label had completely supplanted the Apple label on all Beatles releases. When the record label change, the EMI/Odeon logo also replaced the Apple logo on the front sleeves of all records. "She Loves You" (as "Sie liebt dich") was one of the two songs rerecorded by The Beatles at the Pathe Marconi Studios in Paris (the other being "Komm gib mir deine Hand"). The original stereo master tape is widely believed to have been lost, since every release of the song has been in mono. How the stereo tape was lost has never been fully ascertained. Although the track has never been released in true stereo officially,which were released in "Duophonic" (Electronically Simulated Stereo).
