COMMENTS		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 1967 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 Path´ 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 - 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. 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? Regardless of the reason the French copies of Hello Goodbye are today quite hard to find. (According to "BeatlesCollecting.co.uk") The French contract pressings were manufactured two ways: both with and without the push-out center.

COMMENTS		Lime-green label with black ink and, on the A-side, a large white "A" over the face of the label. "The Gramophone Co. Ltd. (small letter)" on its outer rim. "DEMONSTRATION RECORD" and "NOT FOR SALE" were printed at the bellow of the Parlohone logo. 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		The second label was with capitalized printing of "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." at the perimeter, and a smaller Parlophone logo. 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.
