NOTES
This version is the "first label, aligned Apple cover" version
Dark green labels with a whole apple on the A-side label and a half, sliced-open apple on B-side.
The labels have the "(An E.M.I. Recording)" text on two lines and small "33 1/3" text moved to the left side.
Publishing year printed with a small ℗ symbol.
The B-side label does not have "Her Majesty" credits. The labels are quite dark, although the actual shade of green varies between copies.
Comes in a full laminated cover without flaps on the back side.
The front cover has the drain showing, the rear cover has the Apple logo aligned with the text, and 'Her Majesty' is not listed.
Some copies were packaged with a RARER die-cut black inner sleeve WHICH THIS COPY HAS !!
