Historical Notes
• This is not a 1967 original first pressing (those were on standard black vinyl, catalog PMC 7027 mono / PCS 7027 stereo).
• Parlophone / EMI issued this picture disc edition in 1978 (UK PHO 7027), one of the earliest Beatles picture discs produced, targeted at collectors rather than audiophiles.
• Reissued again in the early 1980s in similar form.
• These picture discs were part of EMI’s push to repackage Beatles albums for the collector market, often in limited runs.
