1982 Reissue with EMI perimeter (the other copy in this thread has a Parlophone perimeter). This is the single from the Blue Box.

While I initially was under the impression that the sticker on the LMD single (2 posts ago) was fake, now I'm not so sure.
I came across a copy of this single with an identical sticker:

which has the feel and looks of a genuine, old sticker. So it might be a genuine one on the LMD single after all. Strangely, however, this one is not on an EMI-related label, so someone might have removed it from a Philips-related disc and put it on the LMD single.

All we know for sure is that it wasn't a standard EMI sticker. Like I said before It may be genuine, even if only in the sense that maybe it's a retailers sticker or something like that.

I'm inclined to agree as well, about the retailers stickers, as it may be something they were given or employed in special uses at the time.

Are they the same value as "Factory Sample - Not For Sale" stickers - probably not.

Thats the key point Jim, even if a sticker is " kosher " only EMI factory ones will ever be more desirable, anything else is likely to actually decrease a records value...

Not that it probably makes a huge difference, but there's another "black label" variant that is like the one with the "Sold in" disclaimer, but with mixed case print on the rim. My copy is missing the centre, but perhaps another member has a complete one for the scan...

Could this have been put on records that were used in record booths that were situated in many shops in the day.

Hi Robyn, could you post scans?

is there no 45-R black label variant for Love Me Do ???

If there isn't it would indicate that there were enough Red labels pressed in 1962 to last well into 1963...and this single would probably have got a lot of shop back orders once PPM topped the charts..

Not seen a 45-R prefix.

My research indicates that the original black label LMD's were probably printed at about the same time as either She Loves You or I Want to Hold your Hand in the later months of 1963. I have another thread on the forum about the label variations of both the red and black label issues. Please comment.
