In September, 1975, Capitol
added a lengthy "All Rights Reserved" saying to all their
albums. The Beatles/solo catalog remained on the Apple
label until January, 1976; after this the orange label was
used for Beatles-related reissues. Therefore, the whole LP
catalog was transferred to the orange Capitol label with "All
Rights Reserved." This label style remained until
February 1978. |

| COMMENTS | The Abbey Road covers for the East Coast
were manufactured by Shorewood's Farmingdale, Long Island,
New York plant. The West Coast covers were made by Bert-Co under licence from Shorewood. The initial labels prepared for Abbey Road do not list "Her Majesty" on side-2. Capitol's green label was first issued in July, 1969. The trademark registration can be found in one of two configurations: either as TM to the right of the word "Capitol" or as (R) underneath the l in "Capitol." At about the time when the green label was discontinued, (May, 1971), the Beatles catalog was switched onto the Apple label. In May, 1971, Capitol redesigned their mainline label to use a more striking red background. The purple “C” logo remained at the top of the label. The registered trademark symbol appears to the right of the word "Capitol." This label appeared on Capitol records numbered from about 682 (May 1971) to about 838 (October 1971). Since the Beatles' catalog switched to Apple that same month, only a few rare specimens survive with this label style: some copies of Revolver and at least two copies of Yesterday...And Today. Orange Capitol Label Type-1: In October, 1972, Capitol left the "red label" behind after pressing it for under two years. The new design was an orange label with “Capitol” at the bottom. Since all Beatles albums were being pressed on the Apple label during 1972-1975, there are no Beatles records on the first or second orange label. This first style used the same rim print from the earlier labels, ending with the patent number for T-Rim. Type-2: In October, 1973, Capitol removed “US PAT NO” and the patent number for T-Rim and centered the rim print better on the label. Type-3: In September, 1975, Capitol added a lengthy "All Rights Reserved" saying to all their albums. The Beatles/solo catalog remained on the Apple label until January, 1976; after this the orange label was used for Beatles-related reissues. Therefore, the whole LP catalog was transferred to the orange Capitol label with "All Rights Reserved." This label style remained until February 1978. The earlier orange label pressing is identified with "Side 1" and "Side 2" on the right, as opposed to later pressings with the large 1 and 2 on the left side. (maybe) |
