issued the Beatles UK albums on cassette tape with
re-arranged running orders, the reason for this was that
because of the 8-track stereo tapes made at the same time,
it was necessary to adjust the endless tape's four tracks to
be approximately the same length. |

logo in blue ink on light grey shell cassette, with
its original inlay and case. “Gold Top inlay” are believed to have been introduced in January 1972. Changed the "Ochre" cassette inlay. Does not have 'metallic' gold finish. ”Ochre inlay" have been introduced in 1976 (maybe). The G&L notation on the inside inlay indicates the printer's initials (Ernest J Day, Garrod & Lofthouse, or Data Packaging). The EMI UK catalog no. (TC-PCS-7096) was on the spine. The cassette cases ("Norelco" cases) were clear plastic at the front and around the spine area, and black plastic at the rear. It has been recorded with the "DOLBY SYSTEM (B-type)" noise reduction characteristic. A Dolby noise-reduction system, or Dolby NR, is one of a series of noise reduction systems developed by Dolby Laboratories for use in analog audio tape recording. The first was Dolby A, a professional broadband noise reduction system for recording studios in 1965, but the best-known is Dolby B (introduced in 1968) for the consumer market, which helped make high fidelity practical on cassette tapes, which used a relatively noisy tape size and speed. From the mid-1970s, Dolby B became standard on commercially pre-recorded music cassettes.
