| COMMENTS | The original Beatles cassette
release of "Sgt. Pepper's" in October 1967, through "Abbey Road (November 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.
EMI opened its new tape duplicating facilities at Hayes, Middlesex in July 1970. These cassettes had bright yellow paper labels. Logo styles varied by period and copy, including the original Parlophone logo, the new black-boxed EMI/Parlophone logo, and labels without a logo. The absence of a logo on some labels may have been due to a shortage of costly letterpress blocks. The white inlay design of Let It Be provided the template for these inlays. 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 codes 7010 and 7009 on the inside of the inlay are thought to indicate its printing date (October and September 1970, respectively), followed by the printer's initials: EJD, G&L or DP (Ernest J. Day, Garrod & Lofthouse or Data Packaging). An inlay's printing date does not necessarily establish when the cassette itself was issued. Advertising for other Beatles/solo albums was on the foldover front, and the EMI UK catalog 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. The rearranged cassette running order was most likely related to the need to balance the playing times of the four programs on the 8-track edition produced alongside it. 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 molded into cassette shells, especially during the early to mid 1970s. (*1) EMI country code: 1E 262 o 04115 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 mean the record was also released in that country (from Discogs).

| COMMENTS | The original Beatles cassette
release of "Sgt. Pepper's" in October 1967, through "Abbey Road (November 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.
EMI opened its new tape duplicating facilities at Hayes, Middlesex in July 1970. These cassettes had bright yellow paper labels. Logo styles varied by period and copy, including the original Parlophone logo, the new black-boxed EMI/Parlophone logo, and labels without a logo. The absence of a logo on some labels may have been due to a shortage of costly letterpress blocks. The white inlay design of Let It Be provided the template for these inlays. 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 codes 7010 and 7009 on the inside of the inlay are thought to indicate its printing date (October and September 1970, respectively), followed by the printer's initials: EJD, G&L or DP (*2) (Ernest J. Day, Garrod & Lofthouse or Data Packaging). An inlay's printing date does not necessarily establish when the cassette itself was issued. Advertising for other Beatles/solo albums was on the foldover front, and the EMI UK catalog 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. It has a plain gray unstamped tape shell secured with a single screw. "Made in England / Made in U.S.A." was not embossed on the shell. The rearranged cassette running order was most likely related to the need to balance the playing times of the four programs on the 8-track edition produced alongside it. (*1) EMI country code: 1E 262 o 04115 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 mean the record was also released in that country (from Discogs). OC / 0C / 1E= UK (*2) 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 molded into cassette shells, especially during the early to mid 1970s. |
