In May, 1971, Capitol redesigned their
mainline label to use a more striking red
background. The purple “C” logo remained at the top
of the label. The registered trademark symbol appears to
the right of the word "Capitol." This label appeared on
Capitol records numbered from about 682 (May 1971) to
about 838 (October 1971). Since the Beatles' catalog
switched to Apple that same month, only a few rare
specimens survive with this label style: some copies of
Revolver and at least two copies of Yesterday...And Today.
