Light green Apple
label Type-2-1 with black print. On 1st. December 1973, the record price was raised. The price of the stereo edition has been raised from 2000 yen to 2200 yen. In late (September?)1969, Toshiba had to reissue on the Apple label all the records previously issued on the Odeon label. And in the Apple label, there are two subtypes, TOSHIBA MUSIC and TOSHIBA EMI. Further more, the early copies of the APPLE-TOSHIBA MUSIC type have dark Apple on its label, though the late copies have light one. The Cover Jacket has been changed from a thin sleeve to a sleeve made of thick paper, because it uses thick paper, it is an inner binding type with the glue margin inside. Meet the Beatles was the first album released by Capitol Records. As the US sales rights for their first album Please Please Me were held by Vee-Jay Records, this album was edited mainly with songs from With the Beatles. The album starts with the big hit "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and includes 12 early songs, edited differently from the UK version. Uses a copy of the US master as identified by "ST-X-1/2-2047" in the matrix stamp. B1 on label has a typo "Don't Bothere Me" The obi: "Forever" Obi This style Obi came into use in the late (October?) 1972 to promote all Beatles releases then currently on the Apple label. The tagline "Beatles Forever" used in Toshiba Onko's campaign began to be used around 1972. It is a wide Obi characterized by the Apple logo at the top, the words "The Beatles Forever" at the bottom, and has a dark green background. This is the first obi that was released with the same design.Forever obi was used in the early 70's, and used for the Beatles, solos, and Apple artist LPs. On 1st October 1973, Toshiba Musical Industries Ltd. was changed its name to Toshiba EMI Ltd. So, there were two kind of Obis --the company name is "Tohiba Musical..." version and "Toshiba EMI..." version. The order sheet was printed for the first Apple Obi but was discontinued in the early years of the Toshiba EMI/Apple Obi (maybe 1974) |
