Lime-green
label with black ink and, on the A-side, a large white "A"
over the face of the label.
Made for both radio and for the record shops, all U.K. Parlophone and Apple 7" Beatles singles had promotional Records. A Promo is always a copy of the exact performance and mix that is to be sold in the record shops. It is pressed from the very same plates used to make the commercially-available 45rpm singles. The first 12 Beatles singles, from "Love Me Do" trough "Paperback Writer"(*) all had promo's on white-label disks with black ink and, on the Aside, a large red "A" over the face of the label. Records like "Day tripper/We Can Work It Out", issued as double-A-sided disks, had the red "A" on both sides of the record label. * excepted for "She Loves You, Can't Buy Me Love, I Feel Fine, and Help!" EMI did not prepare a demonstration record for these records. Beginning with "All You Need Is Love (**)", Promo's were made with a lime-green background and a White "A" on the intended Aside These lime -green promo's had slightly-smaller labels, so the labels fit within the circle of ridges surrounding the label area, instead of overlapping onto them, as the previous promo's did. ** EMI did not prepare a demonstration record for "Strawberry Fields Forever" |

Decca
contract pressing: The label, there are two typesetting
variations. Back in the 60's EMI had a limited record pressing power, and the Beatles were so popular that they simply could not cope with the demand that the fans were putting on them to get the copies out and into the shops. Purchases meant profit, and fans having to wait for EMI to catch up with demand meant a loss of earnings. Because of this, EMI decided to approach rival production companies with batch orders for them to press to help keep on top of things. Decca were also the only company that also helped with the production of the Beatles' first two albums. |

COMMENTS
|
In 1968 (?)
a small number of copies of 'Hello Goodbye' appeared which
featured a 'Made in France' credit rather than the
standard 'Made in Gt. Britain'. It transpired that EMI contracted the Pathé Marconi plant in France to press a small run of copies to be sent back into the UK and sold. There are two possible reasons why this happened, 1) the first could be that as usual demand was overwhelming, and since Oriole had since been sold to CBS only Decca was initially available to help them out. However, because this was insufficient EMI sub-contracted their French plant to help keep on top of things. 2) Another reason could be because there was currently an oil crisis going in that meant that the production of vinyl became incredibly expensive in the UK, and so EMI asked France to press a small run to help keep costs down. Maybe it was even a tax thing? While not "made in the U.K.", the single was pressed using hardware made by EMI. Indeed, if you examine the run-off area of the disc, you will note that the 7XCE number is stamped the same as the U.K. discs. In addition, the KT stamp can be seen randomly, along with a U.K. mother number at 9 o'clock. There are no stamper letters here. However, you will also find a Marconi stamp which is similar to the French pressings of the single - M3 256671/2. Copies of the solid center are a fairly common sight, and are easily identified by the Made in France text below The Beatles. In addition to the solid center, it is reported that EMI converted some of these (in a very small number) to push out center. This record is at the top of the list of the rarest U.K. Beatles singles. |

COMMENTS
|
In 1968 (?)
a small number of copies of 'Hello Goodbye' appeared which
featured a 'Made in France' credit rather than the
standard 'Made in Gt. Britain'. It transpired that EMI contracted the Pathé Marconi plant in France to press a small run of copies to be sent back into the UK and sold. There are two possible reasons why this happened, 1) the first could be that as usual demand was overwhelming, and since Oriole had since been sold to CBS only Decca was initially available to help them out. However, because this was insufficient EMI sub-contracted their French plant to help keep on top of things. 2) Another reason could be because there was currently an oil crisis going in that meant that the production of vinyl became incredibly expensive in the UK, and so EMI asked France to press a small run to help keep costs down. Maybe it was even a tax thing? While not "made in the U.K.", the single was pressed using hardware made by EMI. Indeed, if you examine the run-off area of the disc, you will note that the 7XCE number is stamped the same as the U.K. discs. In addition, the KT stamp can be seen randomly, along with a U.K. mother number at 9 o'clock. There are no stamper letters here. However, you will also find a Marconi stamp which is similar to the French pressings of the single - M3 256671/2. Copies of the solid center are a fairly common sight, and are easily identified by the Made in France text below The Beatles. In addition to the solid center, it is reported that EMI converted some of these (in a very small number) to push out center. This record is at the top of the list of the rarest U.K. Beatles singles. |
