Without a (P) symbol Without the intended release date at the center 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 13 Beatles singles, from "Love Me Do" trough "Yellow Submarine" 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. Beginning with the double-A-sided "Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever (1967)", 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.

COMMENTS		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 where replaced with the new "Gramophone" rims. The new label didn't actually come into use until October 1965 but EMI continued to use up the old Parlophone labels, which explains why first pressings of "Help!" and "We Can Work It Out" still feature labels with the "Parlophone" rims. The first label was with capitalized printing of "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD." at the perimeter, and a smaller Parlophone logo. It has the central remark "SOLD IN UK...", and the "(P) 1965" statement.

COMMENTS		The second label was with capitalized printing of "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." at the perimeter, and a smaller Parlophone logo. It has the central remark "SOLD IN UK...", and the "(P) 1965" statement. It has been said that EMI had to ask some other company (ex. Decca) to press this single. Originally it was thought that this was a Decca pressing, but on closer inspection the small indented ring between the ridge and the edge of the push-out center was much further away from the edge than on a Decca pressing; almost centralised. --> According to "select45rpm.com > UK vinyl Info > Beatles Contracts" This is a Decca Contract press. Confirmed 14th. Oct. 2008 There is an alternate & Previously unknown Decca press of a Beatles 45 we've been able to positively identify & found a regular Decca issue to match it with. We sold it on ebay on 10th. Nov. 2008 so we can now give the facts here & prove it's our exclusive, so parasites beware! THIS IS A DECCA PRESSING. This unusual sort of cut-out center actually appeared first in 1960 with the round center Decca pressings & has been spotted up to 1967 and as with anything, look for this type on usual Decca 45s & you'll find plenty. The vinyl is the same as a regular Decca press, it's just the center cut-outs that have confused some. See our main Decca & London listings for many regular ones to compare to. Remember there are no Contract Pressings of any Decca product.

COMMENTS		This label is with push-out center type. The "Sold in U.K." text has gone from the label. 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 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 where replaced with the new "Gramophone" rims. But this label was printed "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD." at the perimeter.(miss label ?)

The first 13 Beatles singles, from "Love Me Do" trough "Yellow Submarine" 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. Beginning with the double-A-sided "Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever (1967)", 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.

COMMENTS		The first label was with capitalized printing of "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD." at the perimeter, and a larger Parlophone logo. It has the central remark "SOLD IN UK...", and the "(P) 1965" statement. 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 where replaced with the new "Gramophone" rims. The new label didn't actually come into use until October 1965 but EMI continued to use up the old Parlophone labels, which explains why first pressings of "Help!" and "We Can Work It Out" still feature labels with the "Parlophone" rims.

This notice appears on the labels of every UK market EMI product, from very early 1964, right through mid-1969. Has the "NORTHERN SONGS, NCB" credits on the label.

COMMENTS		This label is with push-out center type. The "Sold in U.K." text has gone from the label. 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. Has the "NORTHERN SONGS, NCB" credits on the label.
