THE BEATLES - The Beatles' Second Album

Item Description

Vinyl, , Los Angeles Pressing

Los Angeles pressings are denoted by an asterisk (*) in runouts.

This variation (fourth issue) of the Los Angeles issue has matte black rainbow labels without "subsidiary" text. Condensed font "STEREO" on labels. On jacket rear, A1 spelled "Roll Over, Beethoven" and B3 "Please Mr. Postman".

Early issues of this title, as here, do not have the running times for "Long Tall Sally" or "I Call Your Name" on Side 2. Later pressing labels do supply the timings for these songs.

This version has BMI rights for all tracks except B5 (She Loves You) which is ASCAP.. No timings for track B1 and B2. The printing company number, on the back of the sleeve, is 5. From the Steve Hoffman forums the Los Angeles printing company number can also be a 6. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/beatles-pressing-plant-numbers.39074/
