COMMENTS | The original first U.K. release,
Sep. 1970, of The Beatles "A Collection Of Beatles'
Oldies" album on Lemon yellow paper label cassette, with its
original inlay and case. The first release of the other Beatles cassette albums came in September 1970 (Rubber Soul, Revolver, and A Collection of Beatles Oldies) and October 1970 (Please Please Me, With The Beatles, A Hard Day's Night, Beatles For Sale, and Help). The Beatles White Album was released in mid-1971. Magical Mystery Tour and Yellow Submarine were to be first issued under later, post-January 1972, subsequent and different inlay designs. The Dutch electronics company Philips introduced the Compact Cassette Tape in 1963 but it wasn't until October 1967 that the first Beatles album was made available on cassette in the UK, Sgt.Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. There were many reissues of The Beatles albums during the lifetime of the cassette's popularity 1970 through to the 1990s. This item was the original first release, before EMI opened its new tape duplicating facilities at Hayes, Middlesex in July 1970. Between 1966 and June 1970, EMI's early musicassettes were manufactured by the Dutch firm, Phillips themselves - the inventor and originator of the cassette. This item is one of them. There is no date code on the inlay which dates this cassette manufacture as before July 1970, when EMI brought in the system. The 1970/71 cassettes had white inlays and, aside from the small reproduction of the front cover, no artwork was included nor the original liner notes. The tracklistings were printed on the reverse of the inlay whilst the foldovers advertised other available Beatles/solo cassettes. The cassette cases ("Norelco" cases) were clear plastic at the front and around the spine area, and black plastic at the rear. 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. In the case of "She Loves You", the 1963 two-track recording tape had since been reused, forcing EMI engineer Geoff Emerick to return to the mono master and create a "mock stereo" mix. Data Packaging Corporation: (who also traded as Hellerman Data Packaging Ltd) supplied cassette and 8 track shells, tape and other components to the music industry. The "DP" logo can often be found moulded into cassette shells, especially during the early to mid 1970s. (*1) EMI country code: 1E 262 o 04258 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).
