| COMMENTS | Direct print in blue ink label
with Parlophone logo cassette. It has a grey tape shell with blue on-body text which suggests a manufacturing date of 1976 onwards. 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. (TC2-PCSP-721) 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. Love Songs is a compilation album that comprises love songs recorded by the Beatles between 1962 and 1970. It was released by Capitol Records in the United States on 21 October 1977 (catalogue number SKBL-11711) and on Parlophone in the United Kingdom on 19 November 1977 (PCSP 721). The album was also released on cassette tape, Catalogue number - TC2 PCSP 721. As with the "Red" and "Blue" albums, and the "Rock'n'Roll Music" release, the presentation of this package was once again minimal, especially for the U.K. market. As with the previous year's Rock 'n' Roll Music compilation, the songs were presented with the left and right channels reversed, with the four Rubber Soul tracks - "Girl", "In My Life", "Michelle", and "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" - appearing in slightly narrowed stereo. Three further tracks—"Yes It Is", "This Boy", and "P.S. I Love You"—used the Duophonic mixes. EMI originally issued the Beatles UK albums on cassette tape with re-arranged running orders, the excuse being the need to have two sides of equal length to avoid the problem of listeners stopping the tape at the end of one side and turning over to start mid-way through the opening track on the reverse. (*1) EMI country code: 0C 462 o 06549 The EMI country codes (introduced on 1 June, 1969): In most cases the EMI Codes are the first two letters of the record's catalog#. These EMI Country Codes were used to indicate the country in which the record was pressed. Note this doesn't necessarily means the record was also released in that country (from Discog). OC / 0C / 1E= UK DOLBY B-type: 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. |
