with "mfp (*1)" logo cassette and no central screw. It has a grey tape shell with blue on-body text which suggests a manufacturing date of 1976 onwards. The original "Rock 'N' Roll Music Vol.1 & 2" cassette had an oversized card cover wrapped around the outside of the plastic case. The cardboard cover has two cross cuts to fit into the reel folder on the cassette case. This release does not have an inlay card which fits within the plastic case. It has a die-cut, folded, thick card outer flip-back cover, which is held in place by- 1. A tab inserted inside the case and over the cassette retaining spindles. 2. The cover flips-back inside the case lid and appears to be glued to the back of the case. The track titles and credits are printed in blue. The spine has "The Beatles" printed in the same font, size and colour as on the front. MFP logo, catalogue number, "Stereo" and the boxed EMI logo are all printed in blue. No apple logo and no barcode. "Printed By Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd Patent Applied For" The card cover results in the lid springing shut and remaining closed. The plain black front edge of the case has an indentation to allow it be opened without damaging the cover. (All of this appears to be a clever idea, but unfortunately the outer card cover has no protection from damage & staining and the the extra thickness prevents it from fitting into most standard cassette cases.) The cassettes were packed in a plastic outer covering with an additional printed "Beatles" cardboard back-plate which served also as a hanging hook for the MFP carousel display hat-stand type thing. The printing on the cardboard back-plate reflected the cover art. (maybe) In October 1980, the U.K. album "Rock 'N ' Roll Music (PCSP 719)" was divided into two single albums, and released as budget LPs in both the UK and the United States. Rock 'n' Roll Music: Volume 1 contained the songs on the first half of the original album, while Rock 'n' Roll Music: Volume 2 consisted of the second half. For these reissues, the UK versions were mastered using George Martin's reworked Capitol tapes. (*1) Music for Pleasure (MFP) was a budget label, set up by British EMI in 1965. Most of MFP's output were reissues of existing EMI recordings, including records by major artists such as The Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, The Animals and The Beatles. But MFP also issued original material like studio recordings of successful West End musicals. Fame was a sub-label of MFP in the 1980s, which reissued albums from Queen, Paul McCartney, Marillion, and other successful EMI artists. DOLBY B-type: A Dolby noise-reduction system, or Dolby NR, is one of a series of noise reduction systems developed by Dolby Laboratories for use in analog audio tape recording. The first was Dolby A, a professional broadband noise reduction system for recording studios in 1965, but the best-known is Dolby B (introduced in 1968) for the consumer market, which helped make high fidelity practical on cassette tapes, which used a relatively noisy tape size and speed. From the mid-1970s, Dolby B became standard on commercially pre-recorded music cassettes. |
