COMMENTS
 Black and Yellow Parlophone label with silver print:
the name "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD." (uppercase) on the outer rim, and the "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964" statement was added.
The word “stereo” was printed in medium-sized type in the upper-right corner of the front cover.

Sleeves were produced by two London printing companies: Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. and Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. This copy has a sleeve printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd.

Beginning in 1964, Parlophone (and all the other EMI companies) began printing a phrase in the centers of all their singles, EPs and LPs, which said:

SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS.

This notice appears on the labels of every UK market EMI product, from very early 1964, right through mid-1969.

COMMENTS
 Black and Yellow Parlophone label with silver print:
the name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." (uppercase) on the outer rim, the "SOLD IN U.K." remark, and the "℗ 1964" statement.

" SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS." statement was printed at the center of the label.

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 were replaced with the new "Gramophone" rims.

This copy carried the heading “Songs From The Film ‘A Hard Day’s Night’” on both labels.

The word “stereo” was printed in medium-sized type in the upper-right corner of the front cover.
Sleeves were produced by two London printing companies: Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. and Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. This copy has a sleeve printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd.
The printer’s credit at the bottom of the back cover used a different typeface from that on #3-1.

COMMENTS
 Black and Yellow Parlophone label with silver print:
the name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." (uppercase) on the outer rim, the "SOLD IN U.K." remark, and the "℗ 1964" statement.

" SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS." statement was printed at the center of the label.

This copy carried the heading “Songs From The Film ‘A Hard Day’s Night’” on the Side 1 label only.

Side 2 of the stereo album was recut in the 1960s as “YEX 127-2”. This cut may have been withdrawn shortly after the pressing plates entered production. A cutting error has been reported on this version: the opening drum strike of “Any Time At All” is partially missing on the -2 cut.

This may have resulted from a problem with the cutting tape or an error during cutting. The opening differs from that on other cuts of the album. EMI may have noticed the problem, stopped using the -2 plates and returned to the -1 cut, which remained in use into the early 1970s on pressings with two boxed EMI logos.

Reported examples of this pressing have the same Side 2 mother/stamper code, 1 AH, interpreted as the 37th stamper from the first mother. The reported Side 1 codes are 2 MA or 34 OT. These observations suggest that only one stamper for the -2 Side 2 cut may have been used before it was withdrawn from production.

COMMENTS
 Black and White Parlophone label with silver print:
with one EMI mark, printed in white at the bottom.
The company's name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD" was printed on the outer rim and "℗ 1964" statement was printed on the label.


In 1969, Columbia and Parlophone introduced a label design with one boxed EMI logo at the bottom. This design, with silver text on a black background, was used from late 1969 to early 1971.

In early 1971, Columbia and Parlophone added a second boxed EMI logo at the top of the label. This design remained in use for many years.

The entire Beatles catalog appears to have been reissued between 1971 and 1973 on labels with two boxed EMI logos and rim text beginning “THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD…”.


On 1st July 1973, The Gramophone Company Limited was renamed to EMI Records Limited, and accordingly the start of the label rim text was changed to “EMI RECORDS LTD…”.
The change was gradual: for example, Deep Purple’s “Burn”, released in February 1974, still carried the earlier rim text.

In October 1980 the rim-text was again altered so that it started with “ALL RIGHTS OF THE PRODUCER…”.

COMMENTS
 Black and White Parlophone label with silver print:
with two "EMI" marks, placed at the top and bottom, which are white with black print (reversed).
The company's name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD" was printed on the outer rim and "℗ 1964" statement was printed on the label.

Housed in a scarce front laminated, twin-flipback "Garrod & Lofthouse" printed cover without a stereo front indicator with "Patent No. 943,895" printed along the lower flipback.
As sales of mono albums had dropped significantly relative to stereo albums, EMI deleted mono records, where there was a stereo alternative, in mid-1969.
The word “stereo” may have been omitted from the upper-right corner of the front cover following the decline in mono sales.


In 1969, Columbia and Parlophone introduced a label design with one boxed EMI logo at the bottom. This design, with silver text on a black background, was used from late 1969 to early 1971.

In early 1971, Columbia and Parlophone added a second boxed EMI logo at the top of the label. This design remained in use for many years.
