COMMENTS
All With The Beatles album sleeves manufactured in Australia between December 1963 and February 1981 utilise a front-sleeve image unique to Australia.
The local sleeve came about as a consequence of unsatisfactory attempts to utilise the heavy-shadow, grained UK sleeve cover art via the photographic process.
A new front sleeve was designed by EMI's Andrew Bokor using 'sharp' graphic elements.

The correct title for Side 2, track 3, 'You Really Got A Hold On Me', did not appear on an Australian With The Beatles sleeve until 1981. Up 'til then, the track was printed as, 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me', an error that had appeared on early UK sleeves but unlike the UK, where the 'Gotta' sleeve error was quickly rectified, Australian sleeves went unchanged until a UK-replica sleeve replaced the unique 'floating head' local sleeve in February 1981.
The 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me' error that appeared on label and sleeve tracklists on early UK pressings of With The Beatles, was duplicated on early local pressings. 'Gotta' was corrected to 'Got A' for the third variation of the gold label but reverted to 'Gotta' with the appearance of the mono yellow Parlophone label (and coincident with a change in publishing credit from Belinda to Albert), which is how it remained until changed back to 'Got A' with the issue of 'Side-Stereo' orange labels.
