WHEN EMI CHANGED IN EARLY 1963 TO A MORE CORPORATE LABEL STYLE FOR THEIR MAJOR LABELS THEY MADE A FEW CHANGES DURING THE PROCESS. FIRSTLY PRIOR TO THIS MAJOR LABEL CHANGE EMI NEVER SHOWED THE RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED DATE ON ANY OF THEIR LABELS. WITH THEIR FIRST STAB AT THIS THEY LEFT THE SMALL 33 1/3RD FROM THE PREVIOUS BLACK AND GOLD LABELS ON THE LABEL AS WELL AS THE NEW LARGE 33 1/3RD. THIS WAS CLEARLY A MISTAKE AND QUICKLY REMOVED CREATING THE " 4TH " LABEL HOWEVER EMI WERE NOT FINISHED AND THEY QUICKLY ADDED THE RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED TEXT ( CHANGED IN 1965 TO (P) ) AND IT IS THE " 5TH " LABELS WITH THAT TEXT ADDED THAT ARE BY FAR THE MOST COMMON FOR THIS LP AND INDEED MANY OF THESE VARIATIONS/ ERRORS/CORRECTIONS ARE REPEATED ON THE OTHER LABELS WITHIN THE MAIN EMI GROUP

GOOD LUCK FOLKS
