Capitol Reissue Singles: Blue Star Line Label [1981-1983]

In 1981, as Capitol's single catalog numbers approached the 5000s, nearly all 1960s singles in the 5000 series were transferred to the 6000 series on the blue Star Line label to make room for new releases. Consequently, all Beatles singles from "I Want to Hold Your Hand" through "All You Need Is Love" were moved to this label. On November 30, 1981, Capitol released 17 Beatles singles on the blue Star Line label, spanning catalog numbers A-6278 to A-6300 (with some gaps). This blue label was active for about two years. From 1983 onward, it was merged into the standard main line label design, distinguished only by the addition of a Star Line logo. Pressing Variations for The Beatles' Blue Star Line Singles 1st Pressing (November 1981): Erroneously printed as "STEREO" on the label, though the actual audio is mono. 2nd Pressing (Scarce): Lacks any mono or stereo designation. 3rd Pressing: Retains the "A" catalog number prefix and correctly states "MONO" on the label. 4th Pressing: The catalog number prefix is changed to "X" and the label states "MONO."
