Label Variation #1... EMI logo mark

In very late 1969 a new label was made, using silver ink on black, and with EMI, PARLOPHONE logo all in silver.
New Beatles' LPs were on Apple label, but the nine older Parlophone LPs were pressed on this label, both in mono and stereo.
Notice there is only one "EMI" mark on the label.
Dating from mid-to-late 1970,This second label is identical but with two "EMI" marks, which are white with black print (reversed).

Label Variation #2... Company Name

The outer rim statement on the label, which was printed "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." from very late 1969 to early 1970s(?), but the name was replaced "EMI RECORDS LTD.." from middle 1970s(?).
The reissued Silver Parlophone in 1981 have a credit "ALL RIGHTS .... MANUFACTURED IN THE UK BY EMI RECORDS LIMITED" around the label (maybe).
