Notes

Matte black rainbow labels without "subsidiary" rim text. Early 1967 matte rainbow labels. Scranton started to use glossy labels (again) in late 1967.

This version of labels list Ken Thorne as the writer of the last track on each side and has "You Can't Do That" as part of B4.

Scranton pressing as identified in runouts by the IAM stamped in a triangle. "&" in runouts = stereo.
The other Scranton pressings are The Beatles - Help! (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) ( No Thorne credit on side 2, Track 4 )
This issue is similar to the glossy, late 1967 issue: The Beatles - Help! (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) ( Thorne credits added ) but this is the early 1967 pressing on Matte labels.

What appear to be "T" and "'" in the matrices are etched out.

The catalog number "SMAS 2386" is printed on the spine.
