THE BEATLES YESTERDAY AND TODAY SEALED STEREO PROMO RIAA 16
IN 1968, AS PART OF A CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING OF CAPITOL AND EMI, CAPITOL RECORDS, INC. BECAME A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF A NEW ENTITY KNOWN AS CAPITOL INDUSTRIES, INC. THE DECISION WAS MADE TO IDENTIFY THE NEW ARRANGEMENT ON SUBSEQUENT CAPITOL RELEASES. THIS REQUIRED THE REPRINTING OF 45 SINGLES AND LP ALBUM LABELS TO REFLECT THE NEW OWNERSHIP.
ON THE ALBUM'S LABELS, THE PERIMETER PRINT ON THE COMPANY'S LABELS WAS MODIFIED TO REFLECT THE NEW OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE. CAPITOL ADDED "A SUBSIDIARY OF CAPITOL INDUSTRIES, INC." FOLLOWING "MFD. BY CAPITOL RECORDS INC". THE "SUBSIDIARY" RAINBOW LABEL MADE ITS DEBUT IN THE FALL OF 1968, WHEN CAPITOL RECORDS BECAME A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF CAPITOL INDUSTRIES, INC.
THE SUBSIDIARY RAINBOW LABEL WAS USED FOR LESS THAN YEAR, BEFORE BEING REPLACED IN THE SUMMER OF 1969 BY THE NEW SOLID LIME-GREEN COLORED LABEL. BEATLES ALBUMS WITH THE "SUBSIDIARY" RAINBOW LABELS ARE MUCH LESS COMMON THAN THE FIRST ISSUE LPS WITHOUT THE SUBSIDIARY LANGUAGE, AND THESE LIMITED RELEASES ARE QUICKLY GAINING FAVOR IN THE COLLECTORS' WORLD.
IN THE SUMMER OF 1969, CAPITOL SWITCHED TO A LIME-GREEN LABEL FEATURING ITS NEW "TARGET" CIRCLE LOGO AT THE TOP. THE OUTER "C" IS PURPLE AND THE CIRCLE REPRESENTING THE RECORD IS BLACK. THIS LIME-BACKGROUND CIRCLE LOGO WAS USED FOR CAPITOL BEATLES ALBUMS UNTIL LATE SPRING 1971.
DURING MAY OF 1971, CAPITOL THEN SWITCHED TO A NEWLY DESIGNED "RED" BACKGROUND WITH THE PURPLE "TARGET" CIRCLE LOGO LABEL. The first two Beatles albums Capitol received pressing orders for were "Yesterday And Today" AND "REVOLVER". Almost immediately, the pressing of these two albums abruptly ended when Apple Records announced that they were going to re-issue all Beatles albums on their APPLE label. THEREFORE, "YESTERDAY AND TODAY" AND "REVOLVER" ARE THE ONLY CONFIRMED AMERICAN-PRESSED BEATLES ALBUMS WITH THE RED BACKGROUND PURPLE "TARGET" CIRCLE LOGO LABEL.
The actual pressing numbers for these two albums is still a mystery to this day. What IS known is that in May of 1971, Capitol Records unintentionally created an extreme rarity by halting the pressing of "Yesterday And Today" AND "REVOLVER" in mere double digit numbers. TO DATE, AND TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, APPROXIMATELY ONLY TEN "REVOLVER" ALBUMS - AND ONLY AN ASTONISHING fIVE "YESTERDAY AND TODAY" ALBUMS HAVE SURFACED.
THE ORIGINAL 1971 ACCOMPANYING COVER IS A FABULOUS NEAR MINT AND REMAINS IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAP (2 FACTORY SHRINK "BREATH HOLES" EVIDENT ON FRONT AND 2 BREATH HOLES ON THE BACK). THE BLACK AND WHITE TONES AND GRAPHICS ARE BRILLIANT THROUGHOUT. IT IS THE CORRECT (1968-71) MATCHING COVER INDICATED BY THE MISSING "STEREO NEEDLE DAMAGE" DISCLAIMER PRINT AT THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE BACK COVER.
ONLY RED TARGET LABELS HAVE THE RIAA NUMBER 16.
INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO FIND A SEALED COPY THESE DAYS.
