Maybe a copy made as a gift to someone and that was the only picture they had?

I think this is an acetate made for a Capitol staffer as a test copy before the cover was available.

Thought that might be the case, but acetates from Capitol are always white-labelled, with the tracks listed in typewriter print. a-hard-days-night-ringo-14

Haha yeah, long before Photoshop!

Anyways, as the address on the photo sleeve shows (3109 American Drive, Mississauga, a 10-minute walk from where I'm sitting right now) that's just a regular Canadian issue of the single – it was on Capitol but wouldn't necessarily have the same photo sleeve as the American version. I don't see any sign that it's a promotional copy – if it was, it'd say so on the label. Incidentally, what colour is the label, anyways? 

That's the interesting thing; I've come across Canadian editions of this single which do have the American sleeve. ...]]> Sun, 14 Nov 2010 00:47:22 +0000 mithveaen on Help identifying this Beatles 45?

I love how Ringo's just kind of towering over everyone else. The picture seems to be implying that he has an extraordinarily long neck.a-hard-days-night-ringo-9

Hahaha, I thought that was strange too. They could have easily put him on the far left side, where there's empty space. a-hard-days-night-paul-10 But nooo.

Something tells me this was before the era of Photoshopping... so some poor sap probably had to airbrush that in somehow. a-hard-days-night-george-10

What I mean is : They did it with scissors and glue right? Well, I've seen photoshopped photos as bad as that one. So photoshopping is not an improvement at all!

They could have printed the picture in Canada and shipped it down.
Is the label Capitol Canada or just Capitol? If Capitol Canada vonbontee is right but if not, I believe my theory is correct.
