COMMENTS
|
In the USA, when Capitol Records
purchased the United Artists record label in 1978, it issued
the album on the Capitol label in a standard non-gatefold
sleeve to further reduce costs, but included a color poster
and photo inner sleeve. The front cover to Let It Be are essentially the same as the original issue, but with the addition of the Capitol dome logo. Capitol changed the cover from a gatefold to a single pocket sleeve. The pictures that were inside the gatefold were now printed on the inner sleeve. The UK version had a white border around the photo of the four Beatles, but the US version does not. On the UK version, the producer is credited as "Phil Spector" with lowercase letters, but on the US version, it's written as "PHIL SPECTOR" in all capital letters. In the "Thanks to ~" section below the photo, the name "Harold Seider*" is included on the US version, but it does not appear on the UK version. (*) Harold Seider was a lawyer at ABKCO. "I Dig a Pony" is spelled with the "I" on both the back sleeve and the label. Instead of the Apple logo and credits, a new line was added: "Selections contained herein have been previously released by Capitol Records, Inc. or Apple Records, Inc." There were two 80s Black Capitol rainbow band label variations. This one, the earlier 1983-85 rainbow label pressings pressed by Capitol without the smooth indentation, no SRC stamp, but with a "─◁ " in trail-off usually indicating Winchester, and a dull label finish. Similar 1983 Jacksonville pressing: with a "O or ()" in trail-off usually indicating. The other one was pressed 1986-87 at Specialty Record Corporation (The large S surrounding R and C stamped in the run-out), also identified by smooth indent/notch approx 3/4" from edge of label and glossy finish. The SRC pressings also have more etchings on the run-out. Both sides also are stamped MASTERED BY CAPITOL. |
