release of most of the other Beatles cassette albums in
Sept. and Oct, 1970, just months after EMI opened their new
tape duplicating facilities at Hayes in Middlesex in July,
1970.
Between 1966 and June 1970, EMI's early musicassettes were manufactured by the Dutch firm, Phillips themselves - the inventor and originator of the cassette. EMI opened its new tape duplicating facilities at Hayes, Middlesex in July 1970. All came with bright yellow paper label cassettes, their IE 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. The front and reverse of the inlays came in the "white inlay" design, for which the Let It Be inlay design of June 1970 was the template. The 1970/71 cassettes had white inlays and, aside from the small reproduction of the front cover, no artwork was included nor the original liner notes. Note the 7010 (or 7009) notation on the inside inlay followed by either EJD, G&L or DP. This was the number of the month/year of issue, followed by the printers initials ( Ernest J Day, Garrod & Lofthouse or Data Packaging). Advertising for other Beatles/solo albums was on the foldover front, and the EMI UK catalogue no. (TC-PCS-XXXX) was on the front cover at the top and on the spine. The spine also carried the tape speed, 1&7/8 ths in a circular logo style at the top.

| COMMENTS | The original Beatles cassette
release of "Sgt. Peppers" in Oct. 1967, through "Abbey Road
(Nov. 1969)", "Let It Be (August 1970)", and the first
release of most of the other Beatles cassette albums in
Sept. and Oct, 1970, just months after EMI opened their new
tape duplicating facilities at Hayes in Middlesex in July,
1970.
Between 1966 and June 1970, EMI's early musicassettes were manufactured by the Dutch firm, Phillips themselves - the inventor and originator of the cassette. EMI opened its new tape duplicating facilities at Hayes, Middlesex in July 1970. All came with bright yellow paper label cassettes, their IE 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. The front and reverse of the inlays came in the "white inlay" design, for which the Let It Be inlay design of June 1970 was the template. The 1970/71 cassettes had white inlays and, aside from the small reproduction of the front cover, no artwork was included nor the original liner notes. Note the 7010 (or 7009) notation on the inside inlay followed by either EJD, G&L or DP. This was the number of the month/year of issue, followed by the printers initials ( Ernest J Day, Garrod & Lofthouse or Data Packaging). Advertising for other Beatles/solo albums was on the foldover front, and the EMI UK catalogue no. (TC-PCS-XXXX) was on the front cover at the top and on the spine. The spine also carried the tape speed, 1&7/8 ths in a circular logo style at the top. The cassette cases ("Norelco" cases) were clear plastic at the front and around the spine area, and black plastic at the rear. 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 song track listing layout has returned to the first track order when the cassette tape was released (Oct. 1970). (maybe) "MADE IN ENGLAND" was embossed the shell. The 1970/71 cassettes had white inlays and, aside from the small reproduction of the front cover, no artwork was included nor the original liner notes. The tracklistings were printed on the reverse of the inlay whilst the foldovers advertised other available Beatles/solo cassettes. The EMI UK catalogue no. (TC-PCS-XXXX) was on the front cover at the top and on the spine. The spine also carried the tape speed, 1 7/8" IPS in a circular logo style at the top. The cassette cases ("Norelco" cases) were clear plastic at the front and around the spine area, and black plastic at the rear. The two exceptions to this generally adopted style for the white inlays was Revolver - which had a black background above the front cover album picture with no TC-PCS-7009 and a black coloured inlay spine with it, and The Beatles White album, which had its tracklisting on the front foldover where normally the advertising for the other albums would be.
