A History of Beatles Cassettes

Part 2 (1970 to 1982)

Last Modified 27 Se 07

Terminology

The cassette "Shell" refers to the actual cassette tape itself. After 1970, one might find several style shells, as follows:

cassette shell with paper label attached -- The paper label contains the information about the songs on the cassette.
(colored) cassette shell, with information printed directly on the shell. For the sake of brevity, I refer to this as a Type 2 cassette. Capitol-made cassettes were usually tan/white. Depending on when they were made, the shell might have Capitol's "C" logo or dome logo on it.
clear cassette shell

What follows is a listing of original Beatles/solo cassettes issued after the time of Let It Be. The headings refer to the styles found on Capitol-made cassettes. Non-Capitol/Apple cassettes are listed afterward.

Paper Label Cassettes

Flip-Open Box (1969)

These Apple cassettes were actually issued prior to the end of the Beatle period, but since they are non-Beatles releases they are not listed in that earlier article.

Slip-Out Box Type

For a period in 1970, Capitol experimented with the cassette housing, replacing the plastic (flip-open) boxes with paper outer boxes. These continued until later in the year, when the traditional "flip open" cassette cover returned. One permanent change from Fall, 1970, on is that the title spine would now appear in black and white, instead of blue and white.

Flip-Out Box Type (1971 on)

Through the end of 1971, Capitol was still printing paper label cassettes; however, the slip-on paper cover/box was replaced with the sturdier flip-open plastic box. All Capitol/Apple cassettes featured paper labels until after the release of the Concert For Bangla Desh. Soon, the spine color was changed from blue to black with white print. Capitol would use that spine color for a number of years.

The following Apple tapes generally have Apple's address at 1700 Broadway shown on the cassette cover.

Non-Capitol/Apple Cassettes

Although there were some "pirate" and "bootleg" tapes of Beatles/solo material released in the 1970's and 1980's, the only legitimate solo release before the end of the Apple period was the soundtrack to Live and Let Die.

After the close of Apple, the ex-Beatles went to various record companies. The "discovery" of the Star Club tapes also led to the release of several tapes during the period 1977-1982.

The post-Apple period saw John Lennon retire for five years before signing up with Geffen Records. Paul McCartney remained with Capitol (see above) through 1978, then spent approximately five years with Columbia. George Harrison migrated to his own label, Dark Horse. Ringo Starr spent time with Atlantic, then Portrait (CBS), then Boardwalk Records.

"Baby You're a Rich Man" shares a similar fate, appearing in stereo for the first time on the 1971 German issue of Magical Mystery Tour, but not appearing in the US in stereo until this cassette.

About the Scarcity Index

A Scarcity Index has been introduced to indicate the relative rarity of records and tapes. The rating ranges from 1 to 10, with 1 being "very common" and 10 indicating that fewer than 20 copies are known to exist.

Since early cassette tapes were sold in much lower quantities than were vinyl albums, and since cassettes were typically not available at the same time as the LP (originally), they tend to be much scarcer than their LP counterparts.

Interestingly, "Penny Lane" did not appear in the US in stereo until the Rarities LP in 1980. There, the song is a special edit created by Capitol. The actual stereo mix did not appear in the US until this cassette issue of Mobile Fidelity's Magical Mystery Tour album. "Baby You're a Rich Man" shares a similar fate, appearing in stereo for the first time on the 1971 German issue of Magical Mystery Tour, but not appearing in the US in stereo until this cassette.
