Have the gold and black stereo sticker. Blue text was utilised on both sides of the sleeve; not out of any determination to make the sleeve uniquely Australian but simply because it was cheaper to have blue text than black. Australian "Please Please Me" stereo labels all include commas, where grammatically correct, in the following track titles: Side-1.7 Please, Please Me Side-2.3 Baby, It's You *N.S.W.=New South Wales |

Parlophone and A.K.A. "Banner" STEREO label. The label has a second line of rim print reading, "Made in Australia by E.M.I. (Australia) Limited." Housed in a twin-flipback printed cover. Have the gold and black stereo sticker. Beatles For Sale LP sleeves manufactured in Australia between February 1965 and 1982, and between "a bit later" 1982 and 1990 utilise a front-sleeve design unique to Australia. The art features, on a yellow background, isolated colour pictures of each Beatle taken during the Sydney Stadium concert of the lads' 1964 Australian tour. For a very short period in 1982, Beatles For Sale was issued in a replica of the UK gatefold sleeve, with EMI Australia credits in the sleeve inner. Research suggests that the replica UK sleeve was limited to copies that were distributed in boxed sets produced at the time; and if any copies were sold individually it was as direct consequence of a retailer 'breaking' a boxset for individual-title sale. "Beatles For Sale" was cut locally from UK-supplied tapes. |

Silver
Parlophone and A.K.A. "Banner" STEREO label. The label has a second line of rim print reading, "Made in Australia by E.M.I. (Australia) Limited." Housed in a twin-flipback printed cover. Have the gold and black stereo sticker. A somewhat confusing list for stereo pressings! It appears that around 1967, EMI Australia introduced UK -3/-3 cuts then reverted side 1 back to the UK -2 cut in the early 1970s. Around 1972 both sides were recut locally, retaining the -3/-3 lacquer numbers. Perhaps EMI Australia was confused, but subsequent pressings up until 1982 have been confirmed with either UK, AU, or a mix of both, -3 cuts. An Australian cut can be identified by a taller and narrower font than that used on original UK pressings. (According to "The Beatles Australia Album Labelography") |
