COMMENTS
|
Beginning in 1964,
Parlophone (and all the other EMI companies) began printing a phrase in
the centers of all their singles, EP's and LP's, which said: SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS. The side-2 label was mis-printed with "Do You Want A Know A Secret" instead of "Do You Want To Know A Secret" in Roman Type. |

| The outer rim statement on the label,
which
always said "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD." from 1963 to June 1965. On 1st July 1965, EMI underwent a merger and each individual ceased to be a L.T.D. company and became a Subsidiary of "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." which was owned by EMI. This merger meant yet another label change occurred and previous "Parlophone Co. Ltd." rims where replaced with the new "Gramophone" rims. The reissued Yellow Parlophone in 1981 (Collection Box Set) have a credit "EMI RECORDS LTD." around the label. |

date of therecording was not

Publishing year printed as: "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 196X" was printed. | The statement "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 196X" was replaced by a symbol "(P)". |
| The "SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE
PRICE
CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS" statement was introduced in February 1964
on all EMI singles, EPs and LPs. In this time, "With The Beatles" was at #1 in the LP charts for a twenty-one week stay. Beyond any doubt, EMI who had unprecedented advance orders, manufactured an overwhelming amount of these before the "SOLD IN U.K." notice was introduced. Resultantly, there might not have been a need, right away, to press the LP in February with the "SOLD IN U.K." statement, as so many copies had yet to be sold, which were already made. In summer of 1969, the "SOLD IN U.K." statement was removed on the label. |

 |
| The record companies printed copyright information on records
that were intended for export and on a lot of domestic U.K. pressings.
In case of EPs and Singles, this information was usually printed at the
left side on the label. |
The most usual ones are:
|
| B.I.E.M. | N.C.B. |
 |
 |
| The type for the information printed on the disk's center (i.e. titles, artist, writer, record number, etc.) depends fully on the different sets of type that each printer had to use at his disposal, and not at all indicate a first pressing. |
| "Sans Serif" type | "Roman" type |
 |
 |
| Most 1960's EMI pressings, in the
center of the
LP, single or EP, have letters embossed from under the surface of the
label's center. The letters were indented into a stamper ( a negative
image of the disk which records are pressed from); so that when
pressing the positive disk, the indented letters become lifted from the
surface. Right: the center of "The Beatles' Million Sellers", with initials "KT" very visible. The ones are KT, MT, PMT, PT, MKT or PKT and maybe a couple more; KT and MT seen most frequent. |
 |
| According to "LABELOGRAPHY
written by Jan Petterson", there were 17 different tax codes until VAT
was introduced in 1973. The record companies introduced the new tax codes at specific dates but sometimes continued to use an old code even when they had introduced the new one. (Similar information was received from Mr. Andy.Thanks!) |

| The most common center for an EMI group 7 inches record
was the four-spoke push-out center.
This type of center was in use from the beginning and was still used in
1975, the year where this description of the EMI labels ends. EMI decided in November 1966 to only press singles (and EPs?) with solid centers. However, they continued to produce push-out center for "special purposes" seemed to be export, another for use in jukeboxes. There are a lot of push-out center singles in Sweden which were released after November 1966. |

| Matrix Number...Back to the LP List |
| Matrix numbers are alphanumeric codes (and on occasion, other symbols) stamped or hand written (or a combination of the two) into the run-out groove area of a gramophone record. This is the non-grooved area between the end of the final song on a record's side and the label, also known as the run-off groove area, end-groove area, matrix area, or "dead wax". |
| Matrix numbers are intended for the internal use of the record manufacturing plant, but they are also studied and documented by record collectors, as they can sometimes provide useful information about the edition of the record. |
| The most important part of the extra information is usually the cut number, which is a suffix to the main number. For example, matrix number 12345 is seen on a label, but examination of the run-out groove area reveals number 12345–3, which indicates this is the third cut of this side. It is not unusual to find records with a different cut number on each side. |
| you can see each label and inner groove both side
1 and 2. Mono Mono (GEP) label using: 7TCE. "Magical Mystery Tour" mono (MMT-1) label using: 7XCE. Stereo "Magical Mystery Tour" stereo (SMMT-1) label using: 7YCE. "THE BEATLES (a bonus EP from colection Box)" (SGE-1) label using: SGE. |

Lacquer, Mother and Stamper NumberThe courtesy of Mr. Michael Fremer (Thanks!) |
||
 |
 |
At the "6 O'clock" position on the inner groove area
is the matrix number with a -1 or -2 etc. For instance, Beatles For Sale in stereo is YEX 142-1 (etc.). The "1" means the FIRST LACQUER cut from the master. -2 the second etc. |
 |
At the "9 O'clock" is a number which tell you what "mother" was used to generate the stamper actually used the press the record. A number of "mothers" are generated from the lacquer. Obviously a "1" means first mother generated from the lacquer. A "5" means it was much later--the fifth mother generated from the lacquer. | |
 |
At the "3 O'clock" position there will be one to three
letters, which are codes associated with numbers as
follows, which tell you what stamper was used to press the
actual record: G R A M O P H L T D (gramophone Ltd) G=1 R=2 A=3 M=4 O=5 P=6 H=7 L=8 T=9 D=0 Therefore, if the letters say "GR" that is stamper 12. "O" is stamper 5 etc. |
|
| 7TCE 762-1N, mother 1, stamper G is the very first pressing of "Twist and Shout" in mono: first lacquer, first mother, first stamper. 7TCE 762-1N, mother 4, stamper RLT. That would be first lacquer, 4th mother and 289th stamper generated from that mother. |
