  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.

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)
