| - - | The Beatles | Beatles Forever Series |
| In 1976, Capitol of Canada began the reissue of almost all of the Beatles singles on their new orange label, for the occasion, they prepared a series called "Beatles Forever" for which they crafted a special sleeve showing a montage of the 4 Beatles' Let It Be heads over a white t-shirt with a Union Jack. All the singles had this same front sleeve, but the specific titles were written on the back, making a different sleeve for every single issued. Some of these special sleeves also feature left overs of the previous target label; for example, Can't Buy me Love / You Can't Do That is confirmed to have been sold as a red target in a Beatles Forever sleeve. One interesting record from the series is This Boy / All My Loving as this Canadian reissue record was the first worldwide stereo release of the song This Boy! | ||
