COMMENTS
|
White label with black
ink and, on the A-side, a large red "A" over the face of the
label.
A Promo is always a copy of the exact performance and mix that is to be sold in the record shops. It is pressed from the very same plates used to make the commercially-available 45rpm singles. The first 12 Beatles singles, from "Love Me Do" trough "Paperback Writer"(*) all had promo's on white-label disks with black ink and, on the Aside, a large red "A" over the face of the label. Records like "Day tripper/We Can Work It Out", issued as double-A-sided disks, had the red "A" on both sides of the record label. * excepted for "She Loves You, Can't Buy Me Love, I Feel Fine, and Help!" EMI did not prepare a demonstration record for these records. Beginning with "All You Need Is Love (**)", Promo's were made with a lime-green background and a White "A" on the intended Aside. These lime -green promo's had slightly-smaller labels, so the labels fit within the circle of ridges surrounding the label area, instead of overlapping onto them, as the previous promo's did. ** EMI did not prepare a demonstration record for "Strawberry Fields Forever" Demo copies of EMI records were issued in "Top Pop" sleeves. Demo's from "Love Me Do" untill "A Hard Day's Night" would have featured a blue, yellow or red sleeve. |

After the test
pressings were approved, and copies were run with the promo
labels on them, the printer then loaded the machines with
the proper labels for the disk's standard release. Then
samples were taken from possibly each press machine making
the records, and affixed with a sticker (red ink on white)
and checked for quality. Except for the sticker, the disk is
exactly as it will be when it is released. The earliest label has a characteristic credit in a small letter at the perimeter with reads "The Parlophone Co. Ltd." The next label with capitalized printing of "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD." at the perimeter. It has not the central remark "SOLD IN UK..." yet. Credited to song writing "McCartney-Lennon" on both sides. |

Special Order, CIRCA
1975 (Knife Edge Pressing with Polo ring on side-2) The Beatles records were never really deleted until the 1990s, they were not being continually pressed either. It stands to reason that EMI were unlikely to press a handful of copies to order. More likely, they would have run-off several hundred copies or more and held them in storage. Thus, it's likely that back orders at the beginning of the Seventies would have been filled with old stock before new pressings were required. Thus, polo rings cannot be found on every Beatles single from this time. However, is a mixture of old and new labels (with and without sold in U.k. on some polo ring pressings. Around this time there is a change in colour of the Parlophone labels from jet black to having a grey appearance. EMI installed new presses in 1972, known as the 1400. These were custom made at Hayes, beginning in 1971. These presses left the tell-tale polo ring impression. We can assume that some old presses were still in use in the 1970s, explaining the absence of the polo rings on some discs. In addition, we have seen those discs (predominantly) lacking polo rings along with knife edges circa 1974. It is certainly possible that batches were pressed in 1975 to meet demand. There was still considerable demand for their work. The 1976 singles, the vast majority of them are push outs with polo rings. |
