Black and Yellow
Parlophone label with silver print: the name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD.(capital letter)" on the outer rim, "SOLD IN U.K." text was removed from the label. 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. On 1st July 1965, EMI underwent a merger and each individual ceased to be a L.T.D. company and became a subsudialy of "The Gramophone Co. Ltd." which was owned by EMI. This merger meant yet another label change occurred and previous "Parlophone Co. Ltd." rims where replaced with the new "Gramophone" rims. The LP covers is laminated on both front and back, and is also laminated fully on the inside. The cover was one piece of material, with fold over flaps connecting across the top-inside cover. The gatefold has two openings, the left one holding a sheet of Sgt. Pepper cutouts, and the right one holding the LP itself. The first pressing of the album came with a psychedelic inner sleeve designed by a Dutch group, "The Fool," who also painted the side of the Apple Corps building, as well as John Lennon's limousine. There are two versions of the cover, one with "wide" spine and a more common version with "thin" spine. This copie is "thin" spine. These copies mistitled the track "With a little help from..." as "A little help from..." on back cover. |

Black Parlophone label
with silver print (1 EMI Mark): Parlophone started to use a newly disigned 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. The LP covers is laminated on both front and back, and is also laminated fully on the inside. The cover was one piece of material, with fold over flaps connecting across the top-inside cover. The gatefold has two openings, the left one holding a sheet of Sgt. Pepper cutouts, and the right one holding the LP itself. These copies mistitled the track "With a little help from..." as "A little help from..." on back cover. Both Columbia and Parlophone changed their label design adding an EMI boxed logo (one EMI boxed logo label) at the bottom of the label, in 1969: this design with silver text on black background was used from the end of 1969 and the beginning of 1971: In early 1971, Columbia and Parlophone added another EMI logo (two EMI boxed logo label) at the top of the label: this two EMI boxed logo design lasted for many years: That is as to say that all the Beatles albums were re-pressed on two EMI boxed logos label with the start of the label perimeter print as gTHE GRAMOPHONE CO LTDc: well: it seems to me that between 1971 and 1973 was reissued the entire Beatles catalog. On 1st July 1973, The Gramophone Company Limited was renamed to EMI Records Limited, and accordingly the start of the labels perimeter print was changed to gEMI RECORDS LTDch. However, this change was not always straightforward: we know that, for example, the album "Burn" released by Deep Purple on February 1974, still had the old perimeter print. In October 1980 the rim-text was again altered so that it started with gALL RIGHTS OF THE PRODUCERch. |

Black and White
Parlophone label with silver print: with two "EMI" marks, placed at the top and bottom, which are white with black print (reversed). The company's name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD" was printed on the outer rim and "(P) 1963" statement was printed on the label. Contract pressing for Northern Ireland was manufactured by Emerald Records. Emerald, a subsidiary of Vogue Records in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This is confirmed by machine stamp of the manufacturerfs name on both side of the label. This pressing has standard British matrix numbers: Side-1: YEX 637 - 1 Side-2: YEX 638 - 2 Emerald Music was formed in 1964 and from the beginning had its roots in Irish Music, later expanding to cover a range of Scottish music, including some of Scotland's greatest Pipe Bands. The company founder was Mervyn Solomon, who was also the man who first recorded Rory Gallagher and Van Morrison. In those days, Van was fronting his own R & B group called "Them". Other local artists who went on to make a name for themselves included Jim Armstrong, guitarist - who also played with Them, and John Wilson who played with Them and Rory Gallagher. The John Anderson Big Band has also come through the Emerald "School". John's big band was the backbone of the Jive Bunny hits!! Of course in recent years we have had great success with Celtic Pride, a dance duo who has put a whole new dimension to Irish music and brought it to a new younger audience. With the combination of a vast back catalogue of music, and the new more contemporary recordings, the Emerald catalogue boasts to be one of the most comprehensive Irish and Scottish record labels. |

Both Columbia and
Parlophone changed their label design adding an EMI boxed
logo (one EMI boxed logo label) at the bottom of the label,
in 1969: this design with silver text on black background
was used from the end of 1969 and the beginning of 1971: In early 1971, Columbia and Parlophone added another EMI logo (two EMI boxed logo label) at the top of the label: this two EMI boxed logo design lasted for many years: That is as to say that all the Beatles albums were re-pressed on two EMI boxed logos label with the start of the label perimeter print as gTHE GRAMOPHONE CO LTDc: well: it seems to me that between 1971 and 1973 was reissued the entire Beatles catalog. On 1st July 1973, The Gramophone Company Limited was renamed to EMI Records Limited, and accordingly the start of the labels perimeter print was changed to gEMI RECORDS LTDch. However, this change was not always straightforward: we know that, for example, the album "Burn" released by Deep Purple on February 1974, still had the old perimeter print. In October 1980 the rim-text was again altered so that it started with gALL RIGHTS OF THE PRODUCERch. "French contract Pressing" has two theories: 1) Parlophone ceased to release records (in the United Kingdom) in 1973 because of the oil crisis; the production was moved to France up to 1976: so, for example, there were no UK Beatles pressings (re-pressings) in 1974 and 1975. 2) The Hiatus at Hayes, caused by production issues ( a building closure ) and not as the oil crisis ( although the co-incidence is interesting ) as far as Beatles pressings were concerned was probably much shorter, end of 1973 through much of 1974. At some point in the mid-1970s the EMI pressing plant at Hayes (just outside London) was closed for refurbishment and EMI contracted their Pathé Marconi subsidiary in France to press LP's for a short time. These LP's were then put into U.K. sleeves and sold in the U.K. The phrase "MADE IN FRANCE" were printed on the outer rim on the label. The LP covers is laminated on both front and back, and is also laminated fully on the inside. The cover was one piece of material, with fold over flaps connecting across the top-inside cover. But the flaps inside of the gatefold are invisible, as they were glued on the inside. Some covers also have a sticker on the front indicating that the record was "Made In France". These copies mistitled the track "With a little help from..." as "A little help from..." on back cover. |
