	DESCRIPTION (ACTUAL IMAGES) IN EARLY 1971, ABKCO'S ALLAN STECKLER DECIDED THAT ALL PRE-APPLE BEATLES SINGLES AND ALBUMS SHOULD BE PRESSED WITH APPLE LABELS. THIS INCLUDED THE ORIGINAL COMPLETE CAPITOL SINGLES CATALOG OF I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND THROUGH LADY MADONNA, WHICH AT THAT TIME WERE BEING PRESSED WITH CAPITOL RED & ORANGE "TARGET" LABELS FEATURING CAPITOL'S NEW CIRCULAR LOGO. STECKLER HAD ALWAYS BEEN CONSCIOUS OF LABEL IDENTITY AND SAW THE ISSUANCE OF THE BEATLES EXTENSIVE BACK CATALOG WITH APPLE LABELS AS A WAY OF STRENGTHENING APPLE'S IDENTITY. AFTER GETTING ALAN KLEIN'S APPROVAL, STECKLER ASKED CAPITOL TO BEGIN PRESSING ALL BEATLES RECORDS WITH APPLE LABELS. REALIZING THAT THIS WOULD NOT ALTER THE TERMS OF THE EXISTING RECORD CONTRACT, AND PERHAPS THINKING THAT THE MOVE MIGHT INCREASE BACK CATALOG SALES, CAPITOL AGREED, AND IN THE SPRING OF 1971 BEGAN PRESSING ITS BEATLES 45S AND ALBUMS WITH APPLE LABELS. THIS WAS DONE FOR NEARLY FIVE YEARS, AND AS 1975 CAME TO A CLOSE, SO DID APPLE. THIS COMPLETE APPLE SINGLES COLLECTION OF THE CAPITOL 45 CATALOG, ARE ALL IN "AS NEW", MINT UNPLAYED, STORE STOCK CONDITION, AND EACH ACCOMPANIED BY THEIR BLACK "APPLE" TITLE SLEEVE. ALL OF THE BLACK "APPLE" SLEEVES ARE IN GORGEOUS MINT "AS NEW" TO NEAR MINT MINUS CONDITION, AND ARE THE VERY BEST EXAMPLES WE HAVE HAD WHEN OFFERING THESE SETS. THE APPLE LABEL ISSUES HAVE THE SAME CATALOG RECORD NUMBERS AS THEY APPEARED ON THE ORIGINAL COMPLETE CAPITOL CATALOG OF THE ORANGE & WHITE SWIRL PRESSINGS OF "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" THROUGH TO "LADY MADONNA". HERE IS THE LIST OF THIS COLLECTION, INCLUDING THE CATALOG RECORD NUMBER, THE LABEL/PRESSING VARIATION FOR EACH RECORD, ALONG WITH THE IDIOSYNCRASIES THAT APPEARED IN THE SERIES : 5112 I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND WINCHESTER PRESSING. 5150 CAN'T BUY ME LOVE JACKSONVILLE PRESSING. 5222 A HARD DAY'S NIGHT JACKSONVILLE PRESSING. 5234 I'LL CRY INSTEAD JACKSONVILLE PRESSING. 5235 AND I LOVE HER WINCHESTER PRESSING. 5255 MATCHBOX WEST COAST PRESSING, WITH 'ALL RIGHTS RESERVED' PRINT INFO.
