Finding this copy of “The Beatles’ Second Album” with the rarest misprint indicating the “I CALL YOUR NAME” track on Side 2 as “I CALL YOU NAME” is practically impossible. In spite of our persistent search this rare only recently documented label variation comes across only once in several years. Besides the “I Call You Name” misprint this label variation also doesn’t contain the running time on the track. The initial 1st run labels for this LP, which are the most commonly found, don’t have the running times for “Long Tall Sally” or “I Call Your Name” on Side 2. After Capitol Records received the tapes for these two tracks, the company revised the label copy by adding the times for the two tracks. When the BMI credit replaced the ASCAP credit for the “I Call Your Name”, Capitol once again revised its label copy, but only on the Stereo labels! The printer for the East Coast Stereo label not only changed ASCAP to BMI after “I Call Your Name”, but also dropped the running time for the song. Thus, the Stereo variation has the running time for “Long Tall Sally”, but not “I Call Your Name”. Yet, this 3rd revised label variation has “I Call Your Name” misprinted as “I Call You Name” and no running time on it. Original 1st print Stereo cover contains the RIAA “3” number at the bottom right corner on the back, the identifier of the Capitol Records, Scranton, PA pressing plant, and remains in the original factory shrink wrap. Original Capitol Records ST-2080 Stereo catalog number 1.5” pressing ring black label with a multicolored spectrum ("Rainbow") band and no "subsidiary" print along the labels’ edge. Original 1st pressing East Coast, Scranton, PA issue with the “IAM in a Triangle” plant identifier in the runout groove on both sides. The full matrix numbers are as follows: Side 1 - ST-1-2080-A1#2 IAM P; Side 2 - ST-2-2080-B4#2 IAM P. The album comes with an original light blue Capitol Records inner sleeve.
