without Parlophone cassette. EMI "Gold Top" cassette inlay. ”Gold Top inlay" are believed to have been introduced in January 1972. Note the 7XXX notation on the inside inlay followed by either EJD, G&L or DP. This was the number of the year/month of issue, followed by the printers initials ( Ernest J Day, Garrod & Lofthouse or Data Packaging). Cassette originally released in 1973 (see the "7306 G&L" note on the inlay's inner flap - "73" for the year, "06" for June). The EMI UK catalogue no. (TC-PCS-3077) was on the spine. The cassette cases ("Norelco" cases) were clear plastic at the front and around the spine area, and black plastic at the rear. MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR was released in the UK in 1967 as a vinyl EP. In the US and elsewhere it was released as a full LP with the new tracks from the film compiled together with recent singles STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER, PENNY LANE, HELLO GOODBYE and ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE. EMI give it an official release, not on U.K. vinyl, an official U.S. IMPORT release. Through the usual EMI ordering procedures British record shops could order it using the U.S. catalogue number of SMAL 2835. However, this release emerge in the U.K. at the time on tape. Has a unique catalogue number never to appear on vinyl and a slightly changed title, "Magical Mystery Tour and Other Titles". The album was released on cassette tape (1⅞ ips) - Catalogue number - TC-PCS 3077 The album was also released on 8-track stereo continuous play cartridges (3¾ ips) - catalogue no. 8X-PCS 3077. During the big Beatles sales push by EMI in 1976 after their contract expired, this LP was given a proper official release on the Parlophone label with a catalogue number of PCTC 255 (although the cassette was TC-PCS 3077). It should also be noted that this 1976 edition used the same masters as the original U.S. release, and therefore some tracks were still in fake stereo, but the cassette have "Penny Lane", "Baby. You're A Rich Man", and "All You Need Is Love" in true stereo. (*1) EMI country code: 0C 244 o 04002 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. |
