THE BEATLES - 1967-1970

Item Description

2 x Vinyl, , C1, Gatefold
LP Compilation Reissue Stereo

1988-92 Purple Capitol label re-issue, first "C1" series.

This is the 1988 re-issue, the first time this album was issued a new catalog # in the US (other than colored vinyl).

Old masters were still being used for this, as remnants of the old matrix # SKBO-1/2/3/4-3404 are scratched out in the run-outs.

This was pressed at Specialty Records Corporation, Los Angeles, one of the plants that Capitol used at the time after they closed their own plants. It's identified in the matrix by a large S with small R and C inside the S. (see photo)

To differentiate from previous pressings:
-Back cover now has a barcode and new catalog in the upper right.
-New catalog # C1-90438 on upper left front, upper right back, spine, inner sleeves.
-Has Capitol oval and EMI® box logo on the bottom back.
-Has Capitol oval logo at top center, back cover
-Inside left gatefold still has "© 1973 Apple Records, Inc."
-Discs come in blue lyric sleeves but no longer comes with "For Your Information" discography sheet
-New catalog #s are now on the inner lyric sleeves (see photo)
-A title/hype sticker was attached to shrink wrap on the back with all song titles (see photo)
-Pressed on posterboard stock
