 Totally cool YankeeDisc - I understood you completely and of course am well aware of the 45Cat "off-on-a-tangent commentary" - if you saw my face when I wrote my last comment you wouldv'e known that I was smiling, and answering with the utmost of respectful, well-meaning, good-natured English irony ;-) (Only 20% of our real meaning and intentions come through via the written word, as communication studies tend to point out ;-) )

That said, I shall endeavour to threaten you with loads of information about inlay printers on the forum, and look forward to reading your findings (that was also ironic, just for the record ;-s). Goosfraba my friend - Bigs ;-)

 ....nay, nay, a thousand times nay......I meant that over on 45cat, some comments on a release page run to twenty to thirty replies, and I can see that happening here, with the printers involved, and not much to do with The Floyd.

Moderators often ask to "take it to the forum", so now we have a forum, plus the threat of others, I will expect plenty input from your good self.

".....bide your time......"

 .....Yo, BiggieTembo, there is now a forum that you mentioned Tape media inlay sheets, Et cetera, and the printers involved......, so please get busy and start using.

Please direct all enquiries regarding inlay cards to the forum, where full answers can be given rather than clogging up the standard comments pages. -------I THANK YOU-----

I am somewhat diffident about DP "Delga Press" and Data Packaging Corporation, which I've never heard of.....I'll move that over to the forum.

 Hey YankeeDisc – more on the subject of EMI’s cassette inlay printers:

Interestingly, my entry for Pink Floyd's Meddle has "KPL" as the inlay printer - it's a “newer” edition with a barcode, and the totally amazing Pink Floyd Archives site says it's the 8th issue, from ca. 1987 (this is confirmed by the transparent cassette shell). - There’s loads of great inlay scans here.

The "KPL" credit begins at the issue which I estimate is from c. 83-86 (white cassette shell, black printed ink). Before that, the inlay had no credit (like some of the Beatles' inlays (from 83-86) and sometimes just a “date” - and a “G&L” credit before that...

G&L seems to have closed down in 1984 (according to some internet sources) or alternatively it was dissolved 1995 (according to others). EMI may have chosen “KPL” as their cassette-inlay printer after G&L’s demise. The dates seem to fit.

Additionally, there’s an inlay of Pink Floyd’s “Early Collection Of Dance Songs” by an “EH” ("8111 EH") I know it's a long shot, but could this be “E.Hannibal” included on one of the early drafts of your Printers List on 45cat?

So far I haven't been able to locate any info about KPL, or EH, or even DP - and Garrod and Lofthouse info is also thin on the ground internet-wise - so maybe it would be a good idea to start compiling a list of all the [EMI] Cassette/8-Track inlay printers, a-la your printers list forum (EP sleeves, and the printers involved......singles too.) over on 45 Cat? - which, by the way, is a great list ;-) Whaddya say?

 Hey YankeeDisc - sorry to rain on your (and my) parade - but a little research on Soundhog tells me DP stands for Data Packaging Corporation, NOT Delga Press... Honesty is the best policy, aye ;-)

 ...thanks to BiggieTembo for solving that mystery of the ages......DP Delga Press, who'da thunk it?.

I have a fair few EMI cassettes from back in the day, and I thought most of those I checked had DP after the date code, so I did not make the connection about the printers' ID.

I've just found and checked 4 cassettes by Macca and one by ONJ, here's the results.

TC-PCTC 251 Wings Red Rose Speedway 7306 G&L - gold inlay
TC-PAS 10007 Band On The Run 7401 DP - gold inlay
TC-EMC 3028 Olivia Newton-John - Long Live Love 7406 DP - gold inlay
TC-PCTC 254 Wings Venus And Mars 7507 G&L - gold inlay
TC-PAS 10010 Wings....Speed Of Sound 7605 DP - later gold inlay

So that's three Delga Press and two Garrod & Lofthouse, and as yet, not posted on this site, I'll have to get busy.

I also took a good look at that site, SOUNDHOG MOONFRUIT and talk about a trip down memory lane, I remember so many of them, including this double cassette anthology (8-Track is shown) by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, which I own, will find and post. Well worth a look, respect to BT.

 Added my tape.
Same white labels, but a black cassette shell.
Inlay looks just like the one already here ("7304")

 Great addition goodbear66! Love to see those metallic gold EMI inlays ;-)

According to the fantastic Soundhog EMI cassette fansite (http://soundhog.moonfruit.com/#), the inlay dates from 1973 ("7304" is translated as 1973, April), and the DP stands for Delga Press, one of the printers EMI used, other than EJD (Ernest J Day) and the ubiquitous G&D (Garrod & Lofthouse).

The cassette dates from the period 1973-1976 (light grey shell, white labels).
