This version can be distinguished from the other 1969 US pressings by its labels.

Side A:
1) "Recorded In England" is printed at the bottom of the side A label in italicized font with characters that are larger than those of the tracklist, the producer credit, and etc.. On other versions, like [url=http://www.discogs.com/Beatles-Abbey-Road/release/4698262]this one[/url], the text is the same size as [a=George Martin]'s production credit and it is not italicized.

2) The rights society "BMI" is printed to the right of the track titles while all of the corresponding songwriting credits are printed underneath the track titles. On other versions, like [url=http://www.discogs.com/Beatles-Abbey-Road/release/1831082]this one[/url], the writing credits are printed to the right of the titles and are proceeded by the rights society.

3) "Stereo" appears separated from other text in the left center area of the label while "Side 1" appears to the right of center hole and underneath the matrix numbers. On other version, like [url=http://www.discogs.com/Beatles-Abbey-Road/release/3972811]this one[/url], "Side 1" is printed directly below "Stereo" in the left center area.

Side B:
1) "Recorded In England" is printed on the lower left side of the label, apart from [a=George Martin]'s production credit, and in the same font, which contrasts with side A. On other versions, [url=http://www.discogs.com/Beatles-Abbey-Road/release/3964466]like this one[/url], "Recorded In England" is printed in larger italicized font (like on side A) and is printed together on the same side of the label.

2) "MFG. by [l=Apple Records, Inc.]" is printed in white font over the green background along the lower perimeter of the label. On other versions, [url=http://www.discogs.com/Beatles-Abbey-Road/release/3972811]like this one[/url], "Manufactured" is unabbreviated and it is printed in green font over the white background.

3) On some of the other versions, [url=http://www.discogs.com/Beatles-Abbey-Road/release/611455]like this one[/url], the side B label omits [a=George Martin]'s production credit. "Her Majesty" not listed on label.
