Are all "Dr" Robert labels also XEX 606-1 or are these separate pressings? Are there 3 versions: (1) "Dr" Robert (2) 606-1 (3) Both? |

all 606-1's are dr. robert labels but are also no 606-1's with tnt fonted dr robert labels. The 606-1 was replaced far earlier than the spelling change, in fact dr robert labelled mono's are probably more common than doctor robert labelled mono's. Stereo is a different story though, Dr. Robert stereo's are very hard to source. |

Was there only one run of TNR font labels or can you get a Doctor in TNR. I haven't seen one. Also is the TNR label available on both -2 and -3 matrix . |

i believe the answer to that is yes to all, there are I think from memory there are both 606-2 and 606-3's with TNR labels , and there certainly is a TNR label with Doctor Robert on it, in fact from memory that label mirrors the sans serif change in the order, song-singer-composer or song-composer-singer... |

they do seem to be a bit jumbled up. Is the order Dr san serif -1 Dr san serif -2 Doctor san serif -2 Dr TNR - 2 or -3 Doctor TNR - 2 or -3 Doctor altered san serif -3 the -2 and -3 copies do seem to have mixed labels as if they were both pressed at the same time . Can that final san serif font label also be found on a -2 ? |

but did the san serif Doctor come before the TNR dr. ?? and do not forget there was a mono matrix reversion on this album so the final mono labelled copies without the SIUK text are all -2 ( as are probably the copies that immediately preceded the final label. ) |

Mine is sans serif, MONO, EJD sleeve, picked up locally a couple of weeks ago for £7. Couldn't leave it at that price, but a nice surprise when I got it home, and its a strong EX. Side 2 is 605-2. |

It is quite possible that the different label fonts were printed at the same time by different printers -- to keep up with anticipated demand. |

I agree totally Frank, I think that the TNR's likely ran along side the Sans serifs, however the Sans serif DR Robert came first as its only they that are found on 606-1's and the TNR's am pretty sure did not make it into 1968. I know of no EMI album dated after 1967 that has TNR fonted labels, I think Piper has one of the last ones, or maybe Seen in Green by the Seekers....not sure if the Hollies Butterfly ( Dec 67 ) has copies with TNR labels in existence, Evolution certainly does but thats earlier. |

They certainly wouldn't have needed another printer for labels after the LP stopped selling. None of the 18 copies of Butterfly sold in the past month or available now on eBay (UK) had TNR labels. |

then the last TNR is probably something like the Seekers, oct 67 again from memory. |

According to the beatles collecting wiki on this forum it did. I didn't know that until I read it. They could have been done at the same time . What I was wondering was if the -2 and -3 were being pressed at the same time also (if not what sort of time scale between the two) or were they just using old labels up. |

no i think the matrix is linear, -1 followed by -2 then by -3......and then around 1969 going back to -2 I do not think they were pressing -2's and -3's at the same time, but I could be wrong as its hard to explain why they went back to the -2's so what do i know lol !! |

I saw a supposed 606-1 Mono with Doctor Robert labels...he insisted it was in fact a 606-1 but I had never seen that before and nobody bid on it...maybe it was a rarity that I should have gotten now that I read your post... |
