With The Beatles - Very Good Plus (VG+) / Very Good (VG)

Notes

Black label with white Parlophone and EMI logos that had small changes with each pressing.

Seventh pressing, summer 1976 until October 1980, with the silver/black Parlophone label. It has The "EMI Records Ltd. All rights of the manufacturer... MADE IN GT BRITAIN" message around the perimeter of the label. (the latter appears on the bottom in all previous versions). It also has two EMI boxed logos on the label.

Front laminated sleeve with large “stereo” on the front side. White paper EMI custom inner sleeve


The sleeve is laminated on the front but does not have the 'Flipback' foldover of lamination onto the reverse seen in previous pressings, while subsequent pressings came in an non-laminated sleeve and later included a barcode. To summarize, a laminated-front non-flipback sleeve helps ID this particular version.

The matrix numbers on the label remained constant but those in the runoff groove may have additional numbers after the main 3 digit 110 or 111, these changed with each master plate.
