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 "℗ 1963" statement.

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.

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.

The word "stereo" was printed in small 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.", which may have been the only printer for this sleeve variant.
A boxed notice was printed in the upper-right corner of the back cover: "IMPORTANT This record is intended for use only on special stereophonic reproducers. ...".

Side 1: the publishing credit for track 6 was incorrectly printed as  "Wilson".
The Side 2 label was corrected: track 3 was listed as "YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME".
But, The sleeve incorrectly listed track 3 as "YOU REALLY GOTTA HOLD ON ME".
The publishing credit for "Money" says "Dominion, Belinda (Ldn.) Ltd."

COMMENTS
 Black Parlophone label with silver print Type-1:
In very late 1969 a new label was made, using silver ink on black, and with EMI, PARLOPHONE logo all in silver.
The name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." (uppercase) on the outer rim, and the "℗ 1963" statement.

Side 2: The sleeve and label listed track 3 as "YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME" and correct credit "Dominion Mus. NCB".
Side 2: The publishing credit for "Money" says "Dominion. Belinda (Ldn.) Ltd.


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 "℗ 1963" statement was printed on the label.

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.
So, the word "stereo", on upper right of the front cover, may have been omitted, following the decline in mono sales.

Side 2: The label correctly listed track 3 as "YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME" and correct credit "Dominion Mus. NCB".
Side 2: The publishing credit for "Money" says "Dominion. Belinda (Ldn.) Ltd.


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…”.

Emerald Music was formed in 1964 and from the beginning had its roots in Irish Music, later expanding to cover a range of Scottish music, including some of Scotland's greatest Pipe Bands.
The company founder was Mervyn Solomon, who was also the man who first recorded Rory Gallagher and Van Morrison. In those days, Van was fronting his own R & B group called "Them".
Other local artists who went on to make a name for themselves included Jim Armstrong, guitarist - who also played with Them, and John Wilson who played with Them and Rory Gallagher. The John Anderson Big Band has also come through the Emerald "School". John’s big band provided the musical backbone of the Jive Bunny hits.
The company also reported success with Celtic Pride, a dance duo that introduced Irish music to a younger audience.
Emerald’s catalog combined a substantial back catalog of Irish and Scottish music with more contemporary recordings.

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 word "stereo", on upper right of the front cover, is large.
A boxed notice was printed in the upper-right corner of the back cover: "IMPORTANT This record is intended for use only on special stereophonic reproducers. ...".
Side 2: Sleeve and label  spells track 3 as "YOU REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME".
The publishing credit for "You Really Got A Hold On Me" and "Money" was changed to "Dominion Music Ltd".


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…”.

Two theories have been proposed to explain the French contract pressings:
1) According to one theory, the oil crisis may have caused Parlophone to suspend U.K. record production in 1973 and move production to France until 1976. This theory holds that no Beatles records were pressed in the U.K. in 1974 or 1975.

2) Another theory suggests that the interruption at Hayes may have resulted from a building closure and production issues rather than the oil crisis. For Beatles pressings, the interruption may have been shorter, lasting from late 1973 through much of 1974.
Under this explanation, EMI’s Hayes plant, just outside London, may have closed for refurbishment in the mid-1970s, with its French subsidiary Pathé Marconi contracted to press LPs temporarily.

These LP's were then put into U.K. sleeves and sold in the U.K.
The phrase "MADE IN FRANCE" was printed around the label rim.
