Notes

Second edition with gold inlay, introduced in 1972.

Double Play Tape plastered across the bottom, and on the spine.

The tracks are re-arranged, as per usual, compared to the original LP. Confused spellings exist between the back flap and the inner flap.

Comments and Reviews

TopPopper 22nd Sep 2016		You're right, Mark. When the albums were first prepared for tape, it was for 8-track cartridge and lots of jiggery-pokery was needed to try and get four tracks of about equal length. Then when they launched these cassettes, rather than return to the vinyl playing sequence they used the 8-track sequence. In my view it was unnecessary - who wants to hear "Revolver" for example, starting out with "Good Day Sunshine" followed by "And Your Bird Can Sing"?
Mark Taylor 21st Sep 2016		This is my first comment on 45Worlds. I agree the running for side 2 is strange but that's how programmes 3 and 4 on the 8 track were arranged. For instance, Good Night was the final track on programme 3.
boojidad 19th May 2016		This is the craziest rearrangement of songs I've seen. I can understand moving one song from one side of the tape to the other to balance total running time, but what they did to the songs from disc two defies any logic at all.
BiggieTembo 18th Jun 2014		Thanks TopP ;-)
TopPopper 18th Jun 2014		Original contributor notes: Added scans of early 80s issue: 1 cassette, white cassette shell, sharply printed with blue ink. Apple and Dolby logos. “See inlay card for details” printed due to space constraints on cassette shell… 1 inlay; Front: Light-brown sandy Gold inlay series; Apple and Dolby logos on back flap, Garrod & Lofthouse printer ID on inner flap (but no date…). Songs, publishers, composers and credits included, rammed together onto the inner flap. EMI rub it in with “(An EMI Recording”) before “An Apple Record”… Inlay reverse: Lower-case “Stereo musicassette…” info on spine, a more “modern” looking EMI blurb on back flap. Spooling info and Dolby blurb on main panel. All printed in thin, black ink. A presumed date would be around 1982 for inlay printing (thin printing on inlay reverse, light-sandy gold colour on front – white shell, sharp blue ink cassette shell, dating to c. 77-82)… Cassette bought in late’82, after saving loads of pocket money, and the front cover includes the fingerprints of a 10-year old… me. One of the dreaded Double Play tapes; it chewed up many times – funnily enough always in the same place – on Revolution 9.
