COMMENTS

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 design of Apple white label promo singles differs markedly from commercial Apple singles. Promo versions eliminate perimeter print and feature a line drawing of the Apple logo at the label top. All print is black. Notice the promo characters inside the rectangle to the left of the Apple logo and release date to the right. 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. Has single 7" square slip sheet with cover art on one side and lyrics on other. Apple logomark, the words "Toshiba Musical Industries Ltd." and "400YEN" were printed at the bottom of the lyric sheet. There might be an alternate version of this cover that has a reversed photo with John on the left and Ringo on the right. Whether this alternate version is a promotional or commercial version (but, I have never seen it.). Commercial records labels in Japan have A-and B-side reversed; Side-A: Come Together Side-B: Something |

Dark Green Apple label. In 1969, Toshiba had to reissue on the Apple label all the records previously issued on the Odeon label and released the new single on the Apple label. And in the Apple label, there are two subtypes, TOSHIBA MUSICAL INDUSTRIES and TOSHIBA EMI. Further more, the early copies of the APPLE-TOSHIBA MUSICAL INDUSTRIES type have dark Apple on its label, though the late copies have light one. This single was manufactured two ways: both Black and Red vinyl (maybe). Has single 7" square slip sheet with cover art on one side and lyrics on other. There might be an alternate version of this cover that has a reversed photo with John on the left and Ringo on the right. Whether this alternate version is a promotional or commercial version (but, I have never seen it.).
