COMMENTS

Black/yellow
Parlophone label with silver print: the name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD..." on the outer rim, the "SOLD IN U.K..." remark, and the "℗ 1967" statement. The sleeve was laminated on the front, back, and inside. It was constructed from a single piece of material, with foldover flaps joining the sleeve along the top edge inside the gatefold. The gatefold has two openings: the left holds the Sgt. Pepper cut-out sheet, and the right holds the LP. Early copies came with a psychedelic inner sleeve designed by the Dutch design collective The Fool. The group also created the Apple Boutique mural and painted John Lennon’s limousine. The "Fourth Proof" sleeve represents the an early production version of the Sgt. Pepper sleeve. The Fourth Proof was the final version of the various "prototypes" that were explored by the Beatles when the cover was being designed. The cover and text are reported to have been approved by The Beatles, followed by a small test-production run to check the appearance. This small test run is characterized by the inverted “Fourth Proof” text in the top right hand corner of the inner gatefold – just above George Harrison’s head. It is therefore regarded as an early proof or test-production sleeve. The same flipback can carry the text "AR D13217(?)" which was probably the reference number for the prototype text that was used. Printer name credit: "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents pending" These copies mistitled the track "With a little help from..." as "A little help from..." on back cover. The phrase "© All lyrics copyright 1967 for the world by Northern Songs Ltd. England", Parlophone logo and EMI logo were printed at the lower right of the back cover. The mono covers have "PMC 7027 Mono" in the upper right corner and "This is a mono recording" towards the lower right corner of the back cover. Some covers were printed with both mono and stereo numbers at the top and "This is a mono recording" at the bottom. These hybrid covers were first used in late 1969, but were phased out when EMI discontinued pressing the album in mono. |

Black/yellow
Parlophone label with silver print Type-7-1: The company name “THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD.” and the ℗ 1967 credit were retained. But the name "SOLD IN U.K." statement was removed. Beginning in 1964, Parlophone (and all the other EMI companies) began printing a phrase in the centers of all their singles, EP's and LP's, which said: SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS. This notice appears on the labels of every UK market EMI product, from very early 1964, right through mid-1969. The sleeve was laminated on the front, back, and inside. It was constructed from a single piece of material, with foldover flaps joining the sleeve along the top edge inside the gatefold. The gatefold has two openings: the left holds the Sgt. Pepper cut-out sheet, and the right holds the LP. Early copies came with a psychedelic inner sleeve designed by the Dutch design collective The Fool. The group also created the Apple Boutique mural and painted John Lennon’s limousine. 3rd Press: "A DAY IN THE LIFE" is restored to the side-2 label. These copies mistitled the track "With a little help from..." as "A little help from..." on back cover. The phrase "© All lyrics copyright 1967 for the world by Northern Songs Ltd. England", Parlophone logo and EMI logo were printed at the lower right of the back cover. The mono covers have "PMC 7027 Mono" in the upper right corner and "This is a mono recording" towards the lower right corner of the back cover. Some covers were printed with both mono and stereo numbers at the top and "This is a mono recording" at the bottom. These hybrid covers were first used in late 1969, but were phased out when EMI discontinued pressing the album in mono. |

Parlophone started to use a
newly designed label in late 1969. Parlophone radically
changed their label design to this silver style with an EMI

Black Parlophone label
with silver print (1 EMI Mark): Parlophone started to use a newly designed label in late 1969. Parlophone radically changed their label design to this silver style with an EMI boxed logo at the bottom of the label, and the rim text now arches around the top of the label rather than underneath. The name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD..." on the outer rim. These mono Parlophone pressings with one boxed EMI logo may have been produced in small quantities and available only briefly before EMI stopped pressing mono copies a few months later. The sleeve was laminated on the front, back, and inside. It was constructed from a single piece of material, with foldover flaps joining the sleeve along the top edge inside the gatefold. The gatefold has two openings: the left holds the Sgt. Pepper cut-out sheet, and the right holds the LP. Early copies came with a psychedelic inner sleeve designed by the Dutch design collective The Fool. The group also created the Apple Boutique mural and painted John Lennon’s limousine. These copies mistitled the track "With a little help from..." as "A little help from..." on back cover. The phrase "© All lyrics copyright 1967 for the world by Northern Songs Ltd. England", Parlophone logo and EMI logo were printed at the lower right of the back cover. The mono covers have "PMC 7027 Mono" in the upper right corner and "This is a mono recording" towards the lower right corner of the back cover. Some covers were printed with both mono and stereo numbers at the top and "This is a mono recording" at the bottom. These hybrid covers were first used in late 1969, but were phased out when EMI discontinued pressing the album in mono. |
