Great thanks for the info! I updated the chart and i was wondering if someone would have more info on that 89 purple label, if many titles, or not all, were...
Serge: The rainbow label appeared in 1983, after the first purple label but before the last purple. In 1988, Capitol returned to the purple. I guess it was...
Just for the sake of accuracy and to update what I said in the last message, rainbow 45's appeared officially in mid 1983 on the B-5000 series but there may...

Back in September 1968 RPM Magazine had a full back page add touting the four Apple 45's which I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong, were all released on...

Hello, When in Vancouver recently I picked up an original US Apple sleeve for the John and Yoko Happy Xmas War Is Over single. It seems there are a few...
... and I should also mention that the Canadian Apple 2 release number (Les Temps Des Fleurs) was the UK release number for the Mary Hopkin 45 (English version...
I have never seen another version of "Happy Christmas" Piers, never even an RCA pressing. Ian To: beatles-canadian-reference-guide@yahoogroups.com From:...
Piers and gang: I know today it's an iconic Lennon and Christmas tune but I'm not sure it was a giant hit in its day. This might be why it is scarcer than say...
Does anyone here know anything about Lennon 45's on the orange Capitol label released in the 1976-1977 period? I have seen "Imagine" only but I am wondering if...

I was flipping through Bruce Spizer'S books and saw that he mentioned 2 different versions of the canadian Get Back single (2 Compos, not knowing about the...
For what it's worth, I purchased my copy shortly after release and it reads "Manufactured by Capitol Records, Inc...." immediately below "..with Billy Preston"...
Interestingly, I have looked at both versions of "Get Back" in my collection. Both are Compo and are as follows: 1. Compo press with "Manufactured by Capitol...
Interesting observation, Serge! I was not aware of this. After checking my copies, I have two Compo's, both with the Capitol information. It's to the right...
As i was going through old posts, i stumbled upon a website suggested by Fred in post #1184 that suggests that the rare come together as an A side was produced...
I think there's many more than 100 copies with "Come Together" on the green side. I have seen far too many of them. It's not really that tough to get. Seems to...
