In the first half of 1968, EMI UK designed a completely new label style. The label style, known colloquially as the "EMI one-box" due to the presence of a box containing the letters "EMI" centred at the bottom, was adopted by all EMI imprints, including Parlophone. The style first appeared in most countries, albeit with localised modifications, in 1969, although some countries, such as Germany, never adopted the style. Australia's main modification was to adopt a somewhat "loud" orange paper stock, commensurate with that used on early 1960s Columbia singles. The orange Parlophone label first appeared on new releases around April 1969, some ten months after the style debuted on new Columbia releases, but did not appear on Beatles reissues until progressively between June and September 1969, after the depletion of existing label stock. Most Beatles LPs were reissued on this label after royalty stamps had been dropped and speed and matrix text moved to the left, however, copies of Rubber Soul, Greatest Hits Volume 2 and A Collection Of Beatles Oldies exist with royalty stamps, indicating a pre-July 1969 issue.

The orange Parlophone label is perhaps the most recognised with Australian Beatles LPs. Although similar in layout to the UK "EMI one-box" label, the prominent placement of "STEREO" at the top, the opaque black Parlophone logo box and, of course, the orange base, all contribute to a unique label style for Australian Beatles albums.

Three key styles of orange EMI one-Box label were used between April 1969 and and March 1982, identified predominently by the placement of the word "STEREO". These styles can be categorised as:

• Style 'A' - Top STEREO, where "STEREO" appears at the top of the label, above the boxed Parlophone logo. Earlier labels tend to have "STEREO" printed higher on the label, creating a greater gap between it and the boxed Parlophone logo
• Style 'B' - Side STEREO, where "STEREO" appears to the right of the spindle-hole (left in the case of Rarities (UK)), above the catalogue number
• Style 'C' - No STEREO, where "STEREO" is absent from the label altogether

Styles 'B' and 'C' were introduced in October 1978 and early 1979 respectively. Not all albums were released in all styles - see illustrated list, below.
