UK Cassettes

The first UK cassette release was Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1968(?) on the Parlophone label ,and for this reason it would be nice to locate an image of this title to a direct comparison .

Additionally I have added Abbey Road variations of an 'Apple' releases, which had variants because of the long standing legal dispute between Apple Corps and EMI.

I will in due course create a pdf guide to which titles are available for each variation.

If you are able to help with missing images or provide either 'Sgt. Pepper..' or Abbey Road replacements please drop me an email.

Currently order is only a very very rough Draft
