Inner sleeves with original Canadian Capitol & Apple pressings

Most record collectors like to have their vinyl matched with the  correct inner sleeve.  However, sometimes the original buyer dispensed with the inner sleeve or the original sleeve was lost or swapped out for another or replaced with a better one.

The pattern of inner sleeve use from Beatlemania through Let It Be was for the most part sequential.  Generally, as a new inner sleeve design was developed it was used.  However, exceptions occurred when older inner sleeves were used up before newer stock was employed.

All first pressing Capitol L.P.'s starting with Beatlemania and ending with Yesterday And Today came with a "Pathe" inner sleeve. 

Initial 1964 mono and stereo pressings of A Hard Day's Night came with a polyethylene inner sleeve 

First pressings starting with Revolver through to The Early Beatles came with a "Pathe Attention" inner sleeve. 

Apple first pressings beginning with The Beatles (White Album) through Let It Be used a plain white inner sleeve.

Starting in mid-1966 stereo versions of L.P.'s that were originally issued in mono came with a "Pathe Attention" inner sleeve.  This would include stereo versions of "Something New", "Beatles '65", "The Beatles Story", "Beatles VI", "Help" and Rubber soul.     

Generally, the Pathe sleeve was used from 1963 through to mid 1966 after which the "Pathe Attention" sleeve was used, although there was some overlap.  Beginning with the Apple label in 1968 a plain white inner sleeve was used.  Again there was overlap as "old stock" "Pathe Attention" inner sleeves were used up and can be found with Hey Jude albums.
