COMMENTS

"The Beatles Tapes
From the David Wigg Interviews", is an audio album
of interviews with the band and journalist David Wigg, who
interviewed the individual Beatles at various points from
December 1968 or January 1969 to December 1973, and
excerpts from some of these recordings constitute the
album’s spoken words. Although he was a columnist; ‘Young
London’ for the London newspaper The Evening News, the
interviews were intended for broadcast on Radio 1’s ‘Scene
and Heard. Interspersed among the interview excerpts are
instrumental performances of Beatles songs, played by
other musicians. The Beatles tried to prevent the album’s
publication, but it was released in the United Kingdom on
30th. July 1976 under the Polydor label. Double album, includes a front laminated black gatefold sleeve and six-pages booklet with various black & white photos 1963-75. Booklet stapled inside. Record housed in a plain white paper inner sleeves. This is a Promotional E.P. featuring interviews conducted by David Wigg, journalist with the British newspaper, The Daily Express, who interviewed each of the Beatles on several occasions from 1968 to 1973. Cf. Plastic injection labels. With regard to the first injection moulded singles. According to an article on page 1 of Billboard magazine for 16th Oct 1971: 'Phonodisc is experimenting with a new production technique, painted labels, pioneered by French company SFP. The new process prints the labels directly on the records, cutting out the production costs of printing labels on paper. The new technique at present is limited to selected Polydor and Philips singles, and has been used on the New Seekers' 'Never Ending Song Of Love' and St. Cecelia's 'Leap Up And Down'. A specially adapted injection moulding machine is used in the process. Tony Muxlow, Phonodisc general manager, said "There is a cost saving using the method but at the moment it is very much at the development stage. It is confined to the Polydor and Philips labels, but we certainly won't be using it throughout our releases at the moment." The painted labels process will be used on the forthcoming Slade single, 'Cos I Luv You', to be released by Polydor this week.' |
