Until the early 1970s all the Beatles records released by Odeon in Brazil, came with the famous "sandwich cover", with the paper with the photo between two plastic sheets.

The record was released with 2 color variations: purple and pink.

Bellow the normal back cover of the Brazilian 1960's EPs.

   

 

 

 

In 1972 this EP was re-released with a third color variation and a new label! The back cover was also modified.

With a delay of five months is released in Brazil the title track of the first Beatles' movie.

The B-side will be known nationally due a cover version in Portuguese made by Brazilian's rock group Renato E Seus Blue Caps. Their single will sell more that this one.

The LP with the soundtrack of the first film from The Beatles, A Hard Day's Night, which received this friendly title in Portuguese, was responsible for the baptism of the musical movement that began to grow in Brazil, the future Jovem Guarda. The Brazilian cover came in orange, contrasting with the original English cover, which was blue.

A release just to "cash-in" on the film.

 

  

   16 - LP O Mundo Em Suas Mãos - Volume 3 (Odeon MOFB 316 - 03/1965)

Another international hits collection bringing Beatles' songs.

This LP was released in two versions, with the same catalog number.

   17 - LP The Beatles (Odeon MOFB and SMOFB 317 - 04/1965)

This album, known as the Brazilian Beatles'65, was the Brazilian version of the British Beatles For Sale. But the cover and the order of the songs were completely different.

Side 1: Rock And Roll Music / Kansas City / I'm A Loser / No Reply / Mr. Moonlight / I'll Follow The Sun

Side 2: Eight Days A Week / Honey Don't / What You're Doing / Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby / I Don't Want To Spoil The Party / Words Of Love

This was the first Beatles record in stereo released in Brazil, although the format still was an "experiment" by Odeon" (information provided by Brazilian collector Vladimir Dantas).

   20 - S Eight Days A Week / Rock And Roll Music (Odeon 7I 3119 - 07/1965)

The new hits in Brazil are presented on another exclusive disc.

The curitosity is that the cover is identical to the previous release.

Another exclusive disc, in terms of songs and cover.

 

  

   22 - EP Help! / I'm Down / Not A Second Time / Till There Was You (Odeon 7ID 4102 - 11/1965)

Instead of launching the group's new single in its original format, Odeon chose to release the songs in this EP, with two still unreleased songs from the LP With The Beatles.

 

  

    23 - LP Help! (Odeon MOFB 333 - 12/1965)

This is the Brazilian version of the new Beatles' movie, with the Portuguese title "Socorro". Once again Odeon tried to released songs missing on the local discography from 1962 and 1963. These are on side 2.

Another exclusiev record to Brazilian fans only.

 

  

    25 - LP Rubber Soul (Odeon BTL 1001 - 03/1966)

Odeon finally managed to release a Beatles LP exactly like the original. The only problem is that it arrived three months late.

Side 2: What Goes On / Girl / I'm Looking Through You / In My Life / Wait / If I Needed Someone / Run For Your Life

 

  

   26 - S Day Tripper / We Can Work It Out (Odeon 7BT 01 - 06/1966)

Another release just as the UK original. The only diffrence was that this release was the first one in Brazil without a photo on the cover.

And came sixt months after the British release.

 

  

   27 - S Paperback Writer / Rain (Odeon 7BT 02 - 09/1966)

Another effort from Brazilian Odeon to catch up on the Beatles discography in Brazil. The running order is the same from the original 1963 UK release but the cover is unique to Brazil.

Another remarkable fact is that this disc put Anna as a hit in Brazil, mainly because of the cover made by Brazilian rock group Renato e seus Blue Caps.

Odeon labels used on
Beatles records until 1970

Long Plays

 

  

   Odeon Blue ALTA FIDELIDADE - 1964 to 1965

The first Beatles LPs released in Brazil by Odeon, used this label. The word "Alta Fidelidade" (high fidelity) was in capitals at the right side.

All LPs released in 1964 and on early 1965 came with this label and are the most valuable to collector's (around 120 Euros).

 

  

   Odeon Blue MONO - 1965

In 1965, Odeon changed the label of its LPs. All new releases came with the word "Mono" at the right side.

The "The Beatles' 65" LP (April 65), was the first using this label, which lasted until the "Help" LP (December 65).

The records from 1964 were all reissued using the new label. These are the most easily found by collector's, achieving lower prices (around 80 Euros).

 

A variation of the same label, due probably the use of a different printer or an error from the typographer. The mainly difference is on the MONO word.

(labels sent by Brazilian collector Gilvan Moura "BaldBeatle")

 

 

 

 

Another variation of the same label, due probably the same reasons. The word MONO is closer to the center of the label.

(label sent by Brazilian collector Edvaldo Junior)

   Odeon WHITE on top - 1966 to 1967

On 1966 we had another change on the labels. Now they're white, with the Odeon logo on top (on white letters), plus the word Odeon on a bicolor rectangle.

The "Rubber Soul" LP (March 66), was the first release with the new label, which lasted until the first edition of the "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" LP (August 67).

All previous releases were also reissued with this label, with the prices lowering to 50 Euros.

 

  

   Odeon WHITE/RED STAR - 1967 to 1968

In December, 1967, Odeon changed its label one more time. Now we have the same rectangle with the bicolor logo, inside a star with red borders. The label was all white.

The second edition of the "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" LP came with this new label.

This label was used until December 1968, being used with all reissues of this year.

 

  

   Odeon BLUE STAR - 1968 to 1969

All the new reissues from December 1968 came with this new label. It was similar to the previous one, but the star is all blue and the rectangle came with matching colors.

There were no new releases with this label as all new LPs from the Beatles came with the Apple label.

At the end of 1969 a new label will replace this one.

 

  

   Apple - 1968 until the end of the vinyl era in Brazil

In Brazil, all the LPs released after December 1968 came with the Apple label.

 

  

   Odeon BLUE STAR "without rectangle" - 1969 to 1971

At the end of 1969 all the reissues came with this new label. It's identical to the previous one. The only difference was the change of the bicolor rectangle for the Odeon logo.

 

  

  Singles

  

   Odeon Yellow HIGH FIDELITY - 1963 to 1964

The first Beatles' singles released by Odeon came with this label. The words "Alta Fidelidade" (High Fidelity) came in capitals at the botton of the label.

The single "Please Please Me / From Me To You" (December 1963), was the first release with this label, which lasted until the single "A Hard Day's Night / I Should Have Known Better" (December 1964).

These are the most valuable singles to collectors (around 50 Euros).

 

 

  

   Odeon YELLOW - 1965

In 1965, Odeon changed the singles labels. All new releases came with the yellow label.

The single "I Feel Fine / If I Fell" (April 1965), was the first release with the new label, which lasted until the single "Ticket to Ride / This Boy" (October 1965).

All singles from 1964 were reissued with this new label. They are the most easily found by collectors, at lower prices (around 30 Euros).

 

Just the "promo labels " used in 1965, get higher prices, around 50 Euros.

At left the first promo label, used only on this single.

 

 

 

 

 

At left the promo label used with all singles released in 1965.
