Comments and Reviews


Tylerl 25th Aug 2021		Hi. These are tricky. Just added 1987 Rainbow label SMAL2835 final edition, before 1988 Purple with new issue number. Note this has labels without “STEREO” indicator. Song titles match font from other pressings for all 1987 US editions of UK album format of Please Please Me through Revolver. No inner 24 page comic booklet inside this one. Purple stripe on front cover. Beatle Lew.



Vinyl Fan ● 1st Feb 2016		Added gate fold left side image 1st pressing with "No You're Not" with non cursive font fmc.



checkm8 30th Jan 2016		Added variant cover, gatefold and label images for 1978 reissue. The differences are as follows: The 24-page full color picture book was not included. front cover variant: - purple strip in place of "Includes 24-page full color picture book" gatefold (left) variant: - full catalog number SMAL 2835 above the Capitol and EMI logos (lower left) - no "apple [picture of apple ®] presents" (upper right) - The following text is removed after "SPLENDID!": "The story begins on Page 7 . . . or 8 . . . ." back cover variant: - Capitol Records logo (lower left) - EMI logo (lower right) - single line of text between the Capitol Records logo and the EMI logo label variant: maroon label The right gatefold is the same as {Image #451258}.



An6y66 15th Mar 2014		added orange labels from the 70's ? (correct me if i'm wrong)



YankeeDisc SUBS ● 2nd Sep 2013		Does the Apple version count as a separate listing, with the same catalogue number....?



YankeeDisc SUBS ● 2nd Sep 2013		....my copy has apple / apple core labels, and looks to be from the Winchester plant. Publishing: Tracks A1 / A6 - ASCAP, Tracks B1 / B5 - BMI Matrices (label) - (SMAL 1 -2835), (SMAL 2 -2835) Dead Wax - MASTERED BY CAPITOL - on both sides, machine stamped.
