Capitol normally marked the
covers of its albums allocated for promotional use. This was
done to prevent these albums, which were distributed to
radio stations and reviewers at no cost, from being sold.
Due to the dominance of mono in the early sixties, nearly
all of the promotional albums were mono. The promotional
copies of the first two Beatles albums were marked on the
back covers with ink stamps. |

The Beatles' Second Album is the
Beatles' second Capitol Records album, and their third album
released in the United States including Introducing... The
Beatles released three months earlier on Vee-Jay Records.
The Beatles' Second Album replaced Meet the Beatles! at
number one on the album charts in the US. The white front cover to "The Beatles' Second Album" , which was also designed by George Osaki, features a layout of sepia-tinted photographs of the band. There are two group shots: one posing in front of a curtain at The Ed Sullivan Show and one from the Kennedy airport press conference. All photos were taken by Joe Covello and licensed through Black Star. The initial slicks have the group's name in a brownish red and the song titles in dark green. Later slicks have "THE BEATLES" in bright red and the song titles in olive green. The black and white back liner also features photographs of the band. Four of the pictures feature Ed Sullivan Show performances. Three is also a performance shot from the Washington Coliseum concert. The minor color variation among covers is due to the front slicks being prepared by differeint printers. Front slicks were printed on: 1-1) East Coast: Queens Litho in New York 1-2) East Coast: Ivy Hill Lithograph Co. in New York 2) West Coast: Bert-Co Enterprise of Los Angeles. When "The Beatles' Second Album" was originally issued, Capitol had factories in 1) Scranton, Pensylvania 2) Los Angeles, California 3) In mid. 1965, added a pressing plant in Jacksonville, Illinois. (Stereo Only) The lower portion of the back liner contains "MADE IN U.S.A. • FACTORIES: SCRANTON, PA. - LOS ANGELES, CALIF." and the RIAA (Record Industry Association of America) logo. Most of the back liners have a small numeral located near the lower right or left corner. These numbers were used by Capitol to identify where the album cover was manufactured. Capitol did not fabricate its own album covers. Capitol required the cover manufacturer to place a factory identification number on the back liners. The fabricators added a small number, usually in the lower right corner. The following tables detail the cover numbers that are known to exist: Compiled by Frank Daniels in 2012 The Beatles' Second Album (S)T-2080
The original issue Capitol albums were manufactured with black label backdrops with an outer rim colorband. Label copy information specific to each album appears in silver print. The labels for records manufactured on: 1) The East Coast were printed by Keystone Printed Specialties, Inc. in Scranton, Pensylvania. 2) The West Coast were printed by Bert-Co Enterprises in Los Angeles, California. Because the label copy for the record was prepared prior to Capitol receiving the master tapes for the two newly recorded songs, Long Tall Sally and I Call Your Name, the labels to the first pressings do not list the times for these songs. In fact, except for a few scarce variations, later pressings are also missing the times for these songs even though the information was available. There are East Coast and West Coast label variations. 1) The initial mono labels do not have running times for Long Tall Sally or I Call Your Name and list ASCAP as the performing rights organization for I Call Your Name. (East Coast and West Coast) 2) After Capitol received the tapes for Long Tall Sally and I Call Your Name, the company was able to revise the label copy by adding the running time for the two songs. Only East Coast mono labels have been confirmed with running times for Long Tall Sally and I Call Your Name. This variation was changed the credit "She Loves You" to BMI. (East Coast only) In order to meet the huge demand for Beatles records, Capitol subcontracted with other companies to press its albums. The three companies most frequently used by Capitol were the former Big Three — Columbia, Decca and RCA. Columbia manufactured albums for Capitol at its factories in Pitman, New Jersey, Terre Haute, Indiana, and Santa Maria, California. Columbia LPs have a 2 11/16"-diameter ring located 1 3/16" from the center hole. The trail off areas have hand etched matrix and lacquer numbers. Columbia discs pressed in California have Bert-Co labels while those manufactured in Pitman and Terre Haute have Keystone labels. Pitman pressings have a machine stamped “P” in their trail off areas. Columbia LPs with “54” hand etched in their trail off areas were probably pressed in Terre Haute. Decca pressings have a single ring with a diameter of just under 1" located 5/16" from the spindle hole. The trail off areas have hand etched matrix and lacquer numbers followed by a plant identification letter (“P” for Pinckneyville, Illinois, or “G” for Gloversville, New York). Some earlier Decca pressings have a 2 3/4" diameter ring in addition to the 1" diameter ring. RCA pressings have an indented 2¾"-diameter groove that is 1¼" from the spindle hole. The West Coast RCA discs were pressed in Hollywood with Bert-Co labels. They normally have hand etched matrix and lacquer numbers and a hand etched “W” in their trail off areas. RCA albums manufactured in Rockaway, New Jersey, and Indianapolis, Indiana, have Keystone labels. The Rockaway disc trail off areas have machine stamped matrix and lacquer numbers followed by "R1" and a hand etched "RR." |
