LABEL STYLES - SINGLES
ORANGE
ORANGE
The orange Parlophone label was essentially the silver/black Parlophone label but with black text on an orange base. The colour was the same as that used on LPs and Columbia singles pressed in the early 1960s. The style existed for just over two years, from December 1979 to March 1982. Not all Beatles singles were reissued on this label style.
From August 1980, singles appeared without the anti-skid ribbing and from 1981 with a smaller inner ring as a result of EMI (Australia) installing new Toshiba-EMI automatic presses and subsequently changing the 7" mould.
Only one label pair per title is displayed on this page. Label variations for a given record can be found on its corresponding single page (accessible via the main 'Singles' menu, above).
