Odeon white label
(promotional use only). The words "MFD. BY TOSHIBA MUSICAL INDUSTRIES LTD. IN JAPAN" was printed at the perimeter. Odeon promo LPs feature the perimeter print, Odeon logo, and circled text in red and all other printing in "hand lettered" black. Note the release date above the Odeon logo. The label design is similar to that used for the regular commercial Odeon LPs. These are most commonly found on red vinyl. 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 types of promotional releases. Type-1: This type is called the white label promo for which a unique label has been made. The label design of Odeon white label singles is very similar to that of regular commercial Odeon singles. The promo version, however, features the perimeter print, Odeon logo, and circled text in red and all other printing in 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 to the left of the title. Most usually, the regular cover is used with appropriate alterations to prohibit commercial sale. Type-2: The second type of promo record is less elaborate and is called a sticker promo. It is simply a regular commercial release that has a promo sticker affixed to the cover. This type of promo is occasionally found on post-1975 releases. The front cover is similar to its U.K. counterpart, but the back cover photo is reversed (Japanese edition is correct). These copies mistitled the album title "A collection..." as "A Beatles collection..." on the spine of the cover and the label. This stereo versions of "She Loves You" have been created from the mono versions, because original master tapes are lost. |

Black Odeon label with
silver print. The words "LONG PLAYING" was erased at the bottom of the label. Toshiba released the first Japanese record featuring the Beatles. When this record was released, Toshiba's official name was "Toshiba Musical Industries Ltd." and they used the Odeon label for this and subsequent Beatles releases. The front cover is similar to its U.K. counterpart, but the back cover photo is reversed (Japanese edition is correct). These copies mistitled the album title "A collection..." as "A Beatles collection..." on the spine of the cover and the label. Red vinyl: Besides good sound and quality printing, Japanese records also offered some other things of interest to the collector. One of the primary manufacturing companies in Japan, Toshiba, pressed a lot of their records on red, “Everclean” vinyl from 1958 through 1974 (maybe). While not pressed as collectors’ items, these red vinyl pressings are more sought out by collectors than their black vinyl counterparts. The Everclean vinyl was designed to be less prone to collecting static electricity and dust than the more common black vinyl. The obi: A. K. A."V-shape" Obi 1st. pressing had a light blue / yellow so called "Sankaku"(triangle) or "V-shape" OBI and priced ¥2,000 on rear sleeve and obi strip. While most Japanese records feature local music, a lot of music fans there like foreign music, as well. The language barrier in Japan presented a problem – should foreign album covers be changed for Japanese albums? The solution was the obi, which means “belt” or “sash”. The obi is a strip of paper, usually about two inches wide, that wraps vertically around the album cover, containing information about the artist and album in Japanese. As these strips of paper were fragile and easily torn, they are often missing, especially since consumers in the 1950s and 1960s attached little significance to them. Finding Japanese records made prior to 1970 that still have the obi intact can be quite difficult, and for some albums, nearly impossible. The inclusion of the obi can dramatically affect the price of some Japanese records, sometimes increasing the price by a factor of ten. This stereo versions of "She Loves You" have been created from the mono versions, because original master tapes are lost. |

Dark green Apple label
Type-1with black print. 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.

Light green Apple
label Type-2-2 with black print. 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. * On 1st. October 1973, Toshiba Musical Industries was changed its name to Toshiba-EMI Ltd. The front cover is similar to its U.K. counterpart, but the back cover photo is reversed (Japanese edition is correct). These copies mistitled the album title "A collection..." as "A Beatles collection..." on the spine of the cover and the label. Red vinyl: Besides good sound and quality printing, Japanese records also offered some other things of interest to the collector. One of the primary manufacturing companies in Japan, Toshiba, pressed a lot of their records on red, “Everclean” vinyl from 1958 through 1974 (maybe). While not pressed as collectors’ items, these red vinyl pressings are more sought out by collectors than their black vinyl counterparts. The Everclean vinyl was designed to be less prone to collecting static electricity and dust than the more common black vinyl. The obi: A. K. A."V-shape" Obi 4th. pressing had a light blue / yellow so called "Sankaku"(triangle) or "V-shape" OBI with Apple logo and priced ¥2,200 on obi strip. The word "Toshiba EMI Ltd." was printed. The obi remains intactwith the order form on the back uncut. In 1973, the V-shaped Obi was changed to Forever Obi, so it was supposed to be sold as Forever Obi. However, even after the LP price rose to 2200 yen in December 1973, the V-shaped obi continued. Because there is a V-shaped obi with 2200 yen printed notation. The company name was changed to Toshiba EMI when the price increased. There is a V-shaped Obi with an order sheet printed with Toshiba EMI, so it is thought that it was manufactured immediately after the price revision. There is also a V-shaped Obi without an order sheet, and it can be seen that it was sold with a V-shaped Obi for a certain period of time. While most Japanese records feature local music, a lot of music fans there like foreign music, as well. The language barrier in Japan presented a problem – should foreign album covers be changed for Japanese albums? The solution was the obi, which means “belt” or “sash”. The obi is a strip of paper, usually about two inches wide, that wraps vertically around the album cover, containing information about the artist and album in Japanese. As these strips of paper were fragile and easily torn, they are often missing, especially since consumers in the 1950s and 1960s attached little significance to them. Finding Japanese records made prior to 1970 that still have the obi intact can be quite difficult, and for some albums, nearly impossible. The inclusion of the obi can dramatically affect the price of some Japanese records, sometimes increasing the price by a factor of ten. This stereo versions of "She Loves You" have been created from the mono versions, because original master tapes are lost. |
