Bluebell records of Italy prepared
custom picture sleeves for three of the four Beatles singles it
imported from Vee-Jay:
The record labels were the same as the American versions, except for the addition of a import duty sticker. Bluebell also prepared custom sleeves for VJ 581 and Tollie 9001. There was no need for a custom Bluebell sleeve for Tollie 9008 because Vee-Jay shipped the record to Bluebell in the singlefs American picture sleeve, which served as the basis for its 9001 sleeve. Small gBIEMh stickers were affixed to the labels (examples shown above on top row). BIEM is an international organization representing mechanical rights socities, including Italyfs Societa Italiana degli Autori et Editori, that license the reproduction of songs. Bluebell Records logo mark and the words "Disk imported from the U.S.A." were printed on the custom picture sleeve. The first pressings of the record have silver lettering on a black label with an outer rim colorband featuring the oval logo. Small gray import duty stickers (the word "BIEM" was printed) were affixed to the labels. Bluebell Records was an Italian independent record label founded in 1959 by Antonio Casetta, active from 1959 to 1969 as part, along with other labels such as Mini Rec and Belldisc, of the Belldisc S.p.A. group. In 1969 these labels were fused into a new one, which became known as Produttori Associati. The label released records by several artists, such as Fabrizio De Andr?, Carmen Villani, The New Dada, Rocco Granata, Maurizio Arcieri and Duilio Del Prete. BIEM (Bureau International des Societes Gerant les Droits d'Enregistrement et de Reproduction Mecanique) is the international organisation representing mechanical rights societies.
