The picture sleeve for the single contains a Henry Grossman color
portrait of the Beatles in their new psychedelic look.
"THE BEATLES" appears in white in stylized letters accross the top of
the photo. The song titles, the Capitol logo and catalog number 2056
are below the group's name in pink.
A circled "PRINTED IN U.S.A." appears in white in the lower right
corner of the "I Am The Walrus" side of the sleeve.
The first pressings of the single have labels on both sides listing "Maclen Music, Inc." as the publisher.
After Capitol learned that the publishing fot the "Magical Miatery
Tour" songs, including "I Am The Walrus", had been assigned to "Comet Music Corporation", labels
were revised to reflect the proper publisher.
Nearly all of the Capitol Beatles' records were pressed by Capitol on
both the East Coast and the West Coast, but there is a RCA Custom label variation.

Some of the later East Coast pressings and later West Coast pressings
with LA wide font label have "Comet" credit on the "Hello Goobye" side.
