EMI originally issued the
Beatles UK albums on 8-track tape with re-arranged running
orders, the reason for this was that because of the 8-track
stereo tapes, it was necessary to adjust the endless tape's
four tracks to be approximately the same length. "I Got A Feeling" has been split into two parts to adjust the tape length. |

| COMMENTS | This cartridge is a black
plastic shell with a white color paper label
affixed to the front face. The four 'programmes' with track
listing is printed in black along with the standard color
artwork for this album. The 8-track cartridge were issued WITHOUT the words "Apple Records" at the below of the "IE" catalogue number. The catalog number written on the bottom of the tape is TWO line. Song title and the group name were LARGE type. "IE" catalogue number (*1) in addition to the ordinary "8X-PCS 7096" EMI catalogue number. The magnetic tape is played at 3 3/4 (3.75) inches per second (twice the speed of a cassette). Plastic tape protector fitted to the top of the cartridge, and released in generic cardboard EMI case (maybe). The 8 track cartridge format was jointly developed by Ampex Magnetic Company, RCA Records and Lear Jet Company primarily as a dashboard-based music system for the booming car market. The format was launched in the USA in September 1965, with RCA Victor releasing 175 titles and the Ford Motor Company announcing the format as an option on many of its new 1966 car models. Not long after, players designed for the home began to appear, often incorporated into Reel-to-Reel players. 8 track stereo cartridges comprised four parallel pairs of two-channel stereo programmes: tracks 1 and 5 comprised the first section, 2 and 6 the second, 3 and 7 the third, and 4 and 8 the fourth section. Tracks 1 through 4 were heard through the left speaker while tracks 5 through 8 were heard through the right speaker. All four sections were approximately equal in length and played automatically in sequence. The similar section length often meant that albums had to be re-sequenced to fit the medium, or, in some instances, having songs added, edited or repeated. Conversely, it could also result in long periods of silence between sections. "I Got A Feeling" has been split into two parts to adjust the tape length. The original Beatles 8 track cartridge release of "Sgt. Peppers" in Oct. or Nov. 1969, through "Abbey Road (Nov. 1969)", "Let It Be (August 1970)", and the first release of most of the other Beatles 8 track albums in Sept. and Oct, 1970, just months after EMI opened their new tape duplicating facilities at Hayes in Middlesex in July, 1970. EMI UK commence manufacture of cartridges in November 1969 (maybe). The cassette and 8-track were released at the same time. (Excluding "Sgt. peppers")
EMI UK commence manufacture of cartridges in November 1969 (maybe). As at July 1971, EMI (Australia) offered the following Beatles titles on 8 track cartridge:
(*1) EMI country code: The EMI country codes (introduced on 1 June, 1969): In most cases the EMI Codes are the first two letters of the record's catalog#. These EMI Country Codes were used to indicate the country in which the record was pressed. Note this doesn't necessarily means the record was also released in that country (from Discog). OC / 0C / 1E= UK (**) E.H. & CO.: Sorry, unknown company. |
