Early in 1982 Johnny Dean, editor of The Beatles Monthly Book, wrote an open letter to EMI asking them to mark the 20th anniversary of Love Me Do with a commemorative reissue.
At that point EMI had no intention of doing so. However, they decided to do exactly that and began promoting the 20th anniversary reissue of every Beatles single, starting with Love Me Do on 4th Oct 1982 and culminating with Let It Be on 5th March 1990. Along with the standard black vinyl single was a picture disc , and a few 12" singles.
Also, at the beginning of this campaign, a new singles box set was produced.
EMI UK issued picture disc singles – released between October 4, 1982 and March 5, 1990 – as part of the lengthy 20th anniversary re-release project.
The 20th anniversary set were issued independently as limited editions. They were re-released approximately 20 years after the original 1960’s releases. The artwork on these picture disc singles mirrors the artwork in the Blue Box Singles set on all but 2 singles. For whatever reason, All you need is love and Hey Jude were redesigned before becoming picture discs.
These discs were re-cut especially for this set directly from the best tape sources possible. In some cases, directly from the original album masters.
Each disc is housed in a clear PVC wallet. The final 6 discs come complete with their original and correct backing cards.
