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. The phrase "Produced by George Martin", (from the Album: ABBEY ROAD AP-8815", and "MFD. BY TOSHIBA MUSICAL INDUSTRIES LTD. JAPAN" were printed at the bottom of the label. The song title of the side-1, "Oh! Darling", was printed "Oh Darling" on the label and lyric sheet. Promotional records labels have A-and B-side reversed; Side-A: Here Comes The Sun Side-B: Oh Darling |

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. Has single 7" square slip sheet with cover art on one side and lyrics on other. The phrase "Produced by George Martin", (from the Album: ABBEY ROAD AP-8815", and "MFD. BY TOSHIBA MUSICAL INDUSTRIES LTD. JAPAN" were printed at the bottom of the label.
