COMMENTS		Black and silver Parlophone label with white print Type-1: 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. 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…”.. The stereo pressing have Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. or Ernest J.Day & Co. front laminated flipback cover with or without small “stereo” on the front side. Printer name credit: "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patent No. 943.895 PMC 7016 PCS 7016" Has a Period mark was added after the "PCS." of the catalog number on both sides of the label. “She Loves You” is presented in simulated stereo, created from the mono recording because the original session tapes were no longer available.

COMMENTS		Black and Silver Parlophone label without white ink, 2 EMI marks. 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. 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…”.. CBS Contract Pressing (maybe). No period follows the PCS prefix on either label. There's NO "Made In Gt. Britain" credit at 6 o' clock on the label. Deadwax marks are: Side 1: 3 o'clock: UK style machine stamped matrix number YEX 619-1G half past 4 o'clock: hand-etched "PCS-7016-A" 6 o'clock: CA 1 (machine stamped) 9 o'clock: E1 (machine stamped) Side 2: 12 o'clock: UK style machine stamped matrix number YEX 620-1G 3 o'clock: CA 1 (machine stamped) 6 o'clock: E1 (machine stamped) 10 o'clock: Hand etched "PCS-7016-B" The stereo pressing have Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. or Ernest J.Day & Co. front laminated flipback cover with or without small “stereo” on the front side. Printer’s credit: none. “She Loves You” is presented in simulated stereo, created from the mono recording because the original session tapes were no longer available.
