The typical Parlophone label from the 60's has a black label with "PARLOPHONE" in yellow. This basic label style lasted on all Parlophone issues until 1969, when it was replaced by a black label with silver print. However, there were three different variations of the 60's parlophone label, which make it possible to give a more accurate date to your Parlophone album.

There is a transitional issue of Beatles LP's from 1969 with a black and yellow label but no "Sold in UK" message.

In 1964, legalities forced Parlophone to add a "resale statement" to their records. All Parlophone LP's produced between 1964 and late 1965 will have The Parlophone Co. Ltd. in the rim print and will have the Sold in UK message across the middle of the label.

The misspelling on Beatles for Sale is "I'm a Losser" instead of "I'm a Loser." These copies are from early 1965.

From 1965 until 1969, all Parlophone LP's were released with labels having The Gramophone Co. Ltd. in the rim print and the Sold in UK message across the center of the label.

Beginning in 1965, Parlophone began to press and distribute to other countries copies of LP's that were not available in that form in England. These included Parlophone pressings of several US Capitol albums, also a Parlophone issue of The Beatles (for countries that had not yet accepted the Apple label), and a Parlophone-covered issue of Let It Be.

The series prefix "CPCS" was used for US-based albums, with the leading "C" standing for "Capitol." For the other export LP's, a leading "P" for "Parlophone" was used, along with the usual British catalog number.

Labels for the export series resembled their UK counterparts, except for the "Sold in UK" print, which naturally did not appear on albums pressed for export.

In mid-1969, all of the Beatles Parlophone LP's were reissued onto a black and silver label. This is commonly called the 70's label, because it lasted through most the 70's and into the 80's.

The earliest variety of the 70's label (up through 1973) is nicknamed the "one mark" label because only one EMI logo appears on the label; later copies have two. Three albums are known to have been reissued in MONO on the ONE MARK label. These sell for $275 each in Near Mint condition. Stereo copies are reasonably common, selling for $25 each.

From 1973 to 1976, the rim print on the "two mark" label has "The Gramophone Co. Ltd," but in 1976, the rim print changed to mention EMI as the manufacturer.
After 1979, the rim print changed to begin with an "all rights" statement.

The black and yellow Parlophone label appeared briefly on reissues during the early 1980's. This reissue label has EMI mentioned in the printing on the rim of the label and has the word MONO on the label.

You have been invited to join a select group of people who are passionate about a big idea. The big idea might be fundraising for juvenile diabetes, pointing to your favorite travel guidebooks and destinations, sharing your endorsements of and personal views on a political candidate, talking about the best cookbooks for sale online, or recommending topnotch refrigerators, washing machines, cars and cameras. Squidoo makes it easy for you to share what you know in a fast and impactful way.

What Is Squidoo?

Squidoo is a co-op of everyday experts and enthusiasts, like you, who build single pages (called "lenses") on topics they care about. A Squidoo lens contains links to products for sale, to reviews, to pictures, to videos, to RSS feeds, and to blogs. Every time you create a lens, you are contributing to a human index of the best stuff on a given topic. Not only that, but every lens also generates royalty income. Royalties from affiliate income (like a Netflix membership, an Amazon sale, an eBay auction...) as well as from ad revenue. You can send your royalties wherever you want--your favorite charity, your daughter's college fund, your own pocket.

What Do I Do Now?

Already, tens of thousands of people are building lenses on Squidoo. But these are still early days, when the people who act first, act loudest. So we're inviting you to be part of our team and join us in spreading the word about our organization and ideas and services. Take 5 minutes to build an official SquidBids lens. Show it off. Help us make a difference. (And have some fun along the way). We thank you for your enthusiasm and your efforts.
