COMMENTS | White paper label with Apple
logo cassette, with black shell. EMI "Gold Top" cassette inlay, with "Circular" EMI logo (introduced by EMI from mid-1973). ”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 1974 (see the "7408 DP(**)" note on the inlay's inner flap - "74" for the year, "08" for August). This version with black cassette with DP(**) logo moulding. It has a tape shell that is very faintly stamped "Made In U.S.A." on Side One (almost imperceptible). The EMI UK catalogue no. (TC-PCS-XXXX) 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. The "DP(**)" logo can often be found moulded into cassette shells, especially during the early to mid 1970s 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. These were the first Beatles cassettes to be manufactured by EMI themselves at their newly-opened (July, 1970) tape duplicating facilities at Hayes in Middlesex. Previously, the Dutch electronics giant, Phillips, had made them for EMI. All came with bright yellow paper label cassettes, their I international catalogue numbers, and the newly designed, black box, EMI/Parlophone logo - although some were issued without the logo due to a lack of expensive letterpress blocks. (*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. DOLBY B-type: A Dolby noise-reduction system, or Dolby NR, is one of a series of noise reduction systems developed by Dolby Laboratories for use in analog audio tape recording. The first was Dolby A, a professional broadband noise reduction system for recording studios in 1965, but the best-known is Dolby B (introduced in 1968) for the consumer market, which helped make high fidelity practical on cassette tapes, which used a relatively noisy tape size and speed. From the mid-1970s, Dolby B became standard on commercially pre-recorded music cassettes. |
