| EMI originally issued the Beatles
UK albums on cassette tape with re-arranged running orders,
the excuse being the need to have two sides of equal length
to avoid the problem of listeners stopping the tape at the
end of one side and turning over to start mid-way through
the opening track on the reverse. The cassette of the album "1962-1966" is recorded in the same order as the LP. |

| COMMENTS | White paper label without
Parlophone logo on black shell cassette, with its
original inlay and case. "Gold Top inlay” are believed to have been introduced in January 1972. The G&L notation on the inside inlay indicates the printer's initials (Ernest J Day, Garrod & Lofthouse, or Data Packaging). EMI used the same metallic gold inlay design for the "1962-1966" and the “1967-1970” cassette issue, right up until 93, and didn’t issue a Ochre (lighter-brown) version during the 77-83 period. (maybe) The EMI UK catalog no. (TC2-PCSP-717) was on the spine. Added the Apple logomark and the words "An Apple Record" on the inlay. The cassette cases ("Norelco" cases) were clear plastic at the front and around the spine area, and black plastic at the rear. (*1) EMI country code: 0C 284 o 05325 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 (**)Data Packaging Corporation: (who also traded as Hellerman Data Packaging Ltd) supplied cassette and 8 track shells, tape and other components to the music industry. The "DP" logo can often be found moulded into cassette shells, especially during the early to mid 1970s. |
