CENTRAL REMARK "SOLD IN U.K..."	YES
COVER FORM	Gatefold type. "Open Top" cover.
PRINTER CREDIT	Printed and made in Great Britain by Garrod and Lofthouse International Ltd.
COMMENTS	Double LP with gatefold cover. The first cover had outlets at its top, as it was called as the "Open Top" cover. Flaps inside the gatefold cover were visible at the left and the right sides. Each LP was issued with large poster and four glossy photos of each Beatle. Early copies were issued with a protector sheet placed on the top of each photo and have custom black inner sleeve. Each LP is sequentially numbered on lower right of front cover. The music publisher's name for George's and Ringo's songs was printed "Apple Publishing Ltd." Afterward, "Harrisongs Ltd." and "Startling Mus." Usual Beatles' Apple records have a credit saying "An EMI Recording" at the left upper portion of the label. But the early label has not. So, my album has the credit at the side-1 and side-2, but the second record (side-3 and side-4) does not have it. It seems that they are changing the label little by little.

INSIDE		LABEL CLOSE UP


This cover looks less glossy because of the thinner vinyl coating. The song list at the left side of the gatefold cover was printed slightly darker and clearer than the early ones. They also added the following words below the song list, "1968 Original Sound Recordings made by EMI Records Limited". The flaps were made at both the top and the bottom, though they were not easily visible as they were folded and glued at inside.		The characteristic of the reissued label are: 1) "MONO" credit on the right upper portion 2) Slender "Sans Serif" printing type 3) a credit "An EMI Recording" in parentheses 4) "Harrisongs Ltd." and "Startling Mus." printed as the music publisher's name for George's and Ringo's songs. cf. ...See the previous style "The Beatles' Stereo version"
