Black/yellow Parlophone label with silver print:
the name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD..." on the outer rim, and the "(P) 1964" statement.
The LP cover is a gatefold, with both front and back covers laminated, but the entire cover is one whole piece of material, connected on the inside-right cover by the laminated fold over flaps. To remove the disk from the cover, you have to open the gatefold and slide the disk out from the left.
There is the words in the box --"This record is intended for use only on special stereophonic reproducers. ..."-- on the inside-left cover.
These copies mistitled the track "Kansas City--Hey, hey, hey, hey" as "Kansas City" on the cover and label.

COMMENTS
Black and Yellow Parlophone label with silver print:
the name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD.(capital letter)" on the outer rim, the "SOLD IN U.K." remark, and the "(P) 1965" statement.

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.

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

On 1st July 1965, EMI underwent a merger and each individual ceased to be a L.T.D. company and became a subsudialy 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.

Sleeves for "Help! (stereo)" did only one London’s of printing house: Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. (maybe)
The word "stereo", on upper right of the front cover, is medium size and outline type.

According to the record store information, there were produced for export only as the only copies they have ever found have come direct from the U.S.

I think;
At first,  few copies were printed with a small black "stereo" logo in the upper right corner. But, its very hard to look, so printing ink was changed to silver.

Black and Yellow Parlophone label with silver print:
the name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD.(capital letter)" on the outer rim, the "SOLD IN U.K." remark, and the "(P) 1965" statement.
The word "STEREO" at the right upper portion on the label was small size.
The song title and artist name on the label was printed in slender Sans Serif type.

Sleeves for "Rubber Soul (stereo)" did two London’s of printing house: Ernest J. Day & Co Ltd. and Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. This issue has a sleeve made by Garrod & Lofthouse.
