COMMENTS
The Beatles began to become popular in South Africa in Spring, 1963. Therefore, their albums in South Africa were released at approximately the same times as their releases in England.

In 1965, Parlphone Southern Africa was still transitioning label styles. This label was available in both mono and stereo for the first time. The label color was still blue, and the first line of the rim print reads "Pressed for or by a registered user".
