COMMENTS		Black and Yellow Parlophone label with silver print: the name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." (uppercase) on the outer rim, "SOLD IN U.K." text was removed from the label. 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. 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. Some of copies can be found with "stereo" printed in black in the upper right hand corner of the front cover. The mono and stereo releases were issued in separate catalog number series until early 1966. In 1966, the catalog number series was restarted at 7001 with mono and stereo releases now having the same catalog numbers. Early labels misprint the side 2 track Doctor Robert as "Dr. Robert". On later labels, the Side 2 title was changed from “Dr. Robert” to “Doctor Robert”. This may have occurred shortly after the album’s release. The second-press label uses a sans-serif typeface and lists the song as “DOCTOR ROBERT” on Side 2.

COMMENTS		"Columbia" label pressing. This pressing is found in two variations. The first variation has the Columbia logo on the side 1 and Parlophone logo on the side 2. The second variation has Parlophone logo on the side 1 and a Columbia logo on side 2 (=this record). 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 "EMI RECORDS LTD." and the word "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN" were printed on the outer rim. With a "FACTORY SAMPLE" sticker on the back cover. According to one account of the process, test pressings may have been approved and promotional copies produced before the standard-release labels were loaded into the pressing machines. Samples may then have been taken from each press, marked with a white sticker printed in red, and checked for quality. The mono and stereo releases were issued in separate catalog number series until early 1966. In 1966, the catalog number series was restarted at 7001 with mono and stereo releases now having the same catalog numbers. About the song title of the 4th song on side-1, this label was printed "love You Too" instead of "Love You To", however, the title on the album cover still remained. 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…”.
