Twist And Shout /
There's A Place

This variation (45.72146.5.2) also features the new target label design, but these later pressings have FLAT labels.

Availability

This variation was available between December 1971 and early 1972, when Capitol started using their new orange label design in 1972. Glossy label copies were therefore available only before December 1971, while these flat label copies were available only for a short time in early 1972 , over the span of a few months.

General Information

Very few titles from the Beatles' back catalogue were reissued on the target label. These titles were not selling as much anymore, and only two of them are known to have been repressed in that 1969-1970 period on the target label with a DOME logo (Help and Lady Madonna). Sometime around late 1970-1971, a few more titles were reissued on the new label design, but this time with the TARGET logo on the label. These were glossy until December 1971 when RCA stopped varnishing their labels.

For a complete list of titles released on the target label see Releases by Label Type page of this website, through the main menu at the top.

Pressing Information

45.72146.5.2 features an A-side was made from different lacquer cuts than 45.72146.5.1, but used the same cut for Side B. Flat label copies (After December 1971) therefore have a different matrix with no dash and number on the A-side, and the same -3 on the B-Side, using the same plates as the glossy label pressing:

Side A: CC1-72146 No I
Side B: CC2 - 72146 - 3 No 3

The sequencing of matrix numbers in this period is far from logical, having parallel -# numbers, or having stampers going back and forth between earlier / later numbers at random. In this period of time, the natural order of -# sequences is not necessarily respected, meaning that a -3 does not necessarily mean it was pressed before a -2, for example. Older pressing plates could have been used randomly, or a lacquer could have previously produced multiple new identical plates, some of which were possibly used at random when a new pressing was required.

Packaging

These new label designs would have been sold in a blue and yellow target Capitol sleeve.

Sales

No reported sales have been found by the authors, but it is doubtful that this was pressed in anything other than marginal numbers to fill sporadic demand for their back catalogue (that was much lower at this point in time).
