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. |

The first label for
"I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" was with capitalized printing of
"THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD." at the perimeter and a smaller
logo (without the central remark). It looks like the label from the late 1964, but it's true that this was released in November 1963. It may be attributed to Beatlemania that suddenly began in late 1963. The single "SHE LOVES YOU" sold over 500,000 just after the release in August, after their Swedish tour in October the Beatlemania erupted and the single sold almost 1,500,000 by the end of the year. The next single "I WANT TO..." reached nearly 1,000,000 before the release date. It was epochmaking but Parlophone/EMI hadn't experienced such a turmoil ever before, it has been said that they had to ask some other company (ex. Oriole and Decca) to press the next single. |

This label type doesn't have the "N.C.B." credit under the "NORTHERN SONGS MUS LTD" credits. cf. Oriole Records was founded in 1925 by the London-based Levy Company. The original label was discontinued in 1935. David Morris Levy and his brother Jacques revived the Oriole label in 1950. Until 1955 it was the exclusive UK licensee for the American Mercury Records label. Oriole had two record pressing plants, one in Aston Clinton and the other in Colnbrook. Even the "big boys", like Decca and EMI often used Oriolefs pressing facilities when their own had capacity problems. Oriole also produced Embassy Records for Woolworths Limited. Its repertoire consisted of cut-price cover versions of British pop hits. The Oriole Record Company lasted until September 21, 1964, when it was bought, lock, stock and plant, by CBS Inc., who were looking to set up their own manufacturing facility in the UK. The result was CBS Records, and with its coming the Oriole label disappeared forever. |

Parlophone/EMI hadn't experienced such a turmoil ever

company (ex. Oriole,
Decca) to press this single. Oriole Contract Pressing with solid center: (According to "select45rpm.com") Thicker vinyl with a knife edge and often a rough textured label. Oriole generally were all made with push out centers though a small minority with solid centers exist around 1962 for some reason. "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD. (capital letter)" was printed at the perimeter. The "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963" statement was printed at the left part of the label, and on B-side of the label, has the "N.C.B." credit. cf.

Until 1955 it was the exclusive UK licensee for the American Mercury Records label. Oriole had two record pressing plants, one in Aston Clinton and the other in Colnbrook. Even the "big boys", like Decca and EMI often used Oriolefs pressing facilities when their own had capacity problems. Oriole also produced Embassy Records for Woolworths Limited. Its repertoire consisted of cut-price cover versions of British pop hits. The Oriole Record Company lasted until September 21, 1964, when it was bought, lock, stock and plant, by CBS Inc., who were looking to set up their own manufacturing facility in the UK. The result was CBS Records, and with its coming the Oriole label disappeared forever. |

It may be attributed
to Beatlemania that suddenly began in late 1963. The single
"SHE LOVES YOU" sold over 500,000 just after the release in
August, after their Swedish tour in October the Beatlemania
erupted and the single sold almost 1,500,000 by the end of
the year. The next single "I WANT TO..." reached nearly
1,000,000 before the release date. It was epochmaking but
Parlophone/EMI hadn't experienced such a turmoil ever
before, it has been said that they had to ask some other
company (ex. Oriole,
Decca) to press this single. "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD. (capital letter)" was printed at the perimeter. The "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963" statement was printed at the left part of the label. This label type has the "N.C.B." credit under the "NORTHERN SONGS MUS LTD" credits. cf. Oriole Records was founded in 1925 by the London-based Levy Company. The original label was discontinued in 1935. David Morris Levy and his brother Jacques revived the Oriole label in 1950. Until 1955 it was the exclusive UK licensee for the American Mercury Records label. Oriole had two record pressing plants, one in Aston Clinton and the other in Colnbrook.

COMMENTS

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. |

Solid center type without "SOLD IN U.K.
.." statement. There are some solid center discs pressed by EMI. EMI did not begin manufacturing singles with solid center until 1966, these records are most likely 1966 or later pressings using leftover labels from 1963 or 1964. * Supposedly, solid centers were adopted "officially" by EMI in November, 1966. The publisher's credit on the label of the both sides has the words "N.C.B.(*)". *NCB=Nordisk Copyright Bureau is responsible for the copyrights in the nordic countries. |
