SILVER/BLACK STYLE 'B' - NO ROYALTY STAMPS
Used from October 1963 to November 1979 and again from April 1982 to 1990, the silver/black Parlophone label was the most common label to appear on Australian Beatles singles. It was identical to the yellow/black Parlophone EP label but with all text and logos in silver rather than yellow. Four main print variations existed, with this variation (B) available between July 1969 and November 1979. The variation is categorised by having no royalty stamps, with the catalogue and matrix numbers printed to the left of the centre hole. Labels were re-typeset for the 1976 single reissues, with most labels stating "STEREO" above the catalogue number regardless of whether the content was stereo or not. Track titles were generally printed in a much smaller font.
As at least 10 of the 23 Parlophone singles were out of print by July 1969, not all Beatles singles exist with the pre-1976 layout.
