All My Loving / This Boy

All My Loving was never issued on the purple label between 1978 and 1983. This first Columbia pressing on the retro rainbow features a STEREO mix on both sides. This was a new lacquer cut from the previously released mix on the orange label (45.72144.8.1). This stereo reissue did not come with the custom picture sleeve but was sold in a generic Capitol sleeve.

Availability

45.72144.13.1 was reissued shortly before the "anniversary" mono reissue with the picture sleeve (see 45.72144.13.2), so this variation was most likely available in late 1983 or early 1984.

General Information

This variation is almost identical to 45.72144.13.2, but has most likely been issued before for two main reasons: 1. The mono pressing has extra characters in the matrix number, indicating it probably was prepared later, and 2. this variation is Stereo like its few previous incarnations, so it is logical to think that the same mixes just progressed from the orange labels onto the retro rainbow, to see a change to the mono mix for the anniversary release with the picture sleeve.

Pressing Information

The A-side for this 45 was made from a new lacquer cut made at Columbia, while the B-side used the exact same source as 45.72144.8.1. It has a normal sized trail off area compared to the next mono pressing (45.72144.13.2).

Matrix numbers for 45.72144.13.1 are as follows:

Side A: B 72144 - YEX - 905 B6 TXD
Side B: B 72144 - 7XCE 17560 - 2 DM TXD

Packaging

These copies were sold in a generic mylar Capitol sleeve.
