  LABEL CLOSE UP
label 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 Like other albums edited by Capitol, this ”Rubber Soul” has the same title as the UK version, but the songs and sound are different.

1976 reissue with Orange Capitol label and without the Gold Record Award by RIAA on front cover.
The front cover of this album does not include the text “File Under: The Beatles” or the “New Improved Full Dimensional Stereo” logo.

Label rim text includes "All Rights Reserved" statement.
"Rubber Soul (ST-2442)" and "Revolver (ST-2576)" were switched to an SW prefix durling the orange label run.

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)
