An East Coast American Bootleg label - Currently just a collection of label variations used on Beatle related titles,
hopefully to enable a chronology to be created.

The only variations not logged here are the label background colour. If two labels look similar there will be a difference beyond slight printing and cutting variations , maybe pressing plant - stamper groves or font variations.

The stamper groves will give indication for stampers and or presses used and the final draft may exclude images of these variations.

A blank label can be used for any pressing at any time, making dating a release even more difficult, as with ALL vinyl releases you should already be looking at the matirces to see what you are getting.

Some white labels are reused labels from other releases, some commercial , which have been flipped. Sometimes these backs show impressions or ink residue of the original label .

I have yet to add each Sub- label into the overall Chronology and they should be considered on a title by title basis.
