-Titles: All My Loving / This Boy

-Label: Capitol 72144

-This is the 3rd generation pressing from later in 1974 when Canadian Capitol again reissued All My Loving / This Boy (72144) on the orange label (third generation) and is easily indentified by its bumpy perimeter ridge, this third generation pressing was also in true stereo with STEREO moved from the right side of the label to the upper left side of the label. This was the last orange label variation. and was pressed by Capitol Canada. Some of the third generation 45's were issued with a series of special sleeves called "Beatles Forever", although the sleeves ended up being used with older labels including second generation pressings (even Target labels were found in the "Beatles Forever" sleeves).

-It was in 1972, that Canadian Capitol reissued the first generation orange label pressings of All My Loving / This Boy (72144) in monaural and these were pressed by Canada Compo.

-All three variation pressing quantities were very limited, they were most likely pressed as singles when needed, and are very scarce today

-Only three of the Canadian 72000 series Beatles singles have been confirmed as pressed on this orange label: She Loves You, All My Loving and Twist And Shout. Interestingly, only the orange label reissues were pressed in three generations.

-Year originally released: 1964

-Year reissue released: 1974

-Billboard number: 45

-Billboard debut: March 28, 1964 

-Visual grade: Near mint

-Important: Please note that at the lead-in on the All My Loving Side there is a tiny factory flaw where the vinyl causes a tick just before the needle reaches the playing grooves. The playing grooves are not affected only the lead-in has the pop sound. The flip side has no flaw.

-Labels: Near mint

-Original Canadian Capitol sleeve: Strong VG, see scans

-Regarding unique Canadian pressings; there were nine singles released on Canadian Capitol which did not have an American Capitol Records equivalent, they were:

1.) Love Me Do b/w P.S. I Love You (Canadian Capitol 72076 released in Canada in mid February, 1963) which was the first Beatles' release anywhere on Capitol records and wouldn't be released in the U.S. until 1964 on Tollie 9008. Also, the Canadian pressing has Ringo Starr on drums whereas the U.S. pressed version on Tollie 9008 has session drummer Andy White on drums with Ringo Starr playing tambourine.

-According to Paul White, who served as Canada Capitols' marketing manager, the Canadian 45 rpm first pressings of Love Me Do on Capitol 72076 fared poorly and reportedly sold 88 of the 170 copies manufactured.

-According to Rockin' Records 2011 edition, the Canadian first pressing can be easily identified by an inspection of the label; if under the Capitol logo there is printed Side A and Side B then you hold in your possession one of the rarest of all Beatles' singles; this is the ultra rare Take 1 of Love Me Do with Ringo Starr on drums.

-Subsequent (second pressing) Canadian Capitol 72076 pressings do NOT have Side A and Side B on the labels. For this track, Andy White plays drums on Love Me Do with Ringo Starr relegated to playing tambourine.

2.) Please, Please Me b/w Ask Me Why (Canadian Capitol 72090, released in Canada on April 9, 1963) which was released in the U.S. on Vee-Jay 581 in 1964 with From Me To You as the flip side. Once again Canada was not ready for The Beatles and according to Paul White, who served as Canada Capitols' marketing manager, Please, Please Me on Canadian Capitol 72090 sold about 180 copies.

-Ask Me Why was never released as a single in the USA but was released in 1964 as an EP on Tollie 1-903 as: Misery / Taste Of Honey / Ask Me Why / Anna.

3.) From Me To You b/w Thank You Girl (Canadian Capitol 72101, released in Canada on June 18,1963) which was released in the U.S. on Vee-Jay 581 in 1964 with Please, Please Me as the flip side. This time, sales were somewhat better, perhaps selling as many as 500 copies in Canada. Thank You Girl was released on Vee-Jay 587 in March, 1964 with Do You Want To Know A Secret as the flip side.

4.) She Loves You b/w I'll Get You (Canadian Capitol 72125 released in Canada in mid-September 1963) which was released in the U.S. on Swan 4152 in 1964 with the same 'A' and 'B' sides. Although She Loves You initially flopped in the U.S., in Canada She Loves You did much better. The single slowly worked its way up to the top of Toronto's CHUM hit parade, remaining on the charts for an impressive 22 weeks. According to Paul White, Canadian Capitol marketing manager; She Loves You landed in every major Canadian radio chart, becoming a huge seller, and taking the previous three releases along with it, so all four hit the charts.

5.) Roll Over Beethoven b/w Please Mister Postman (Canadian Capitol 72133 released in Canada on Dec. 9, 1963) which was imported into the U.S. fom Canada and was only available in the U.S. on the E.P. Four By The Beatles on American Capitol EAP 1-2121 from 1964. The unique Canadian record was charted by Toronto radio station CHUM for 16 weeks, peaking at #2. A few months later it charted in the U.S. as a Canadian imported single (Billboard #68, Cash Box #30 and Record World #35.)

6.) All My Loving b/w This Boy (Canadian Capitol 72144 from 1964) which was imported into the U.S. from Canada and was only available in the U.S. on the E.P. Four By The Beatles on American Capitol EAP 1-2121 from 1964. All My Loving was the last of the unique Canadian singles. The April 18, 1964, Cash Box reported that Capitol of Canada would no longer issue future Beatle releases that were not being made available simultaneously in the United States. Paul White, Canada Capitol marketing manager later confirmed that the label discontinued preparing special Canadian records after being ordered by its parent company president Alan Livingston (President of Capitol America) to conform all releases to U.S. records.

7.) Twist And Shout b/w There's A Place (Canadian Capitol 72146 from 1964) which was released in the U.S. on Tollie 9001 in 1964 with the same 'A' and 'B'sides.

8.) Do Want To Know A Secret b/w Thank You Girl (Canadian Capitol 72159 from 1964) which was released in the U.S. on Vee-Jay 587 with the same 'A' and 'B' sides in 1964.

9.) Sie Liebt Dich b/w I'll Get You (Canadian Capitol 72162 from 1964) which was only available in the U.S. on Swan 4182 from 1964 with the same 'A' and 'B' sides.

Record grading:

(M) Mint: A mint record should appear to have just left the manufacturers without any handling; that is, it should appear perfect! No light scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains on labels or writing, tears or splits; nothing. Perfect. And age has nothing to do with it; the same standards for Mint apply to a rare rockabilly single from 1955 as they do to a Top 40 record from 1988! There are no sliding values for Mint. A Mint record cover should appear to have never had a record in it; no ring-wear, dog-eared corners, writing, seam-splits; nothing! Perfect! Even a new, unplayed old stock record can have factory flaws. Mint should be used sparingly and will usually attract a premium value to serious collectors. Mint means perfect and nothing else!

(SS) Still sealed: Still sealed in the factory shrink wrap.

(M-) Mint minus: A nearly perfect record. The record will show no obvious signs of wear, very light surface scuffs from normal handling are permitted but no light scratches. Original finish intact. Picture sleeves should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

(VG+) Very good plus: The record will show some signs that it was played or otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches. Picture sleeves may have some slight ring wear, lightly turned up corners, or a small seam split.

(VG) Very good: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record or sleeve will be more pronounced in a VG record or picture sleeve. Groove wear may be noticeable, the record may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound, but the foreign noises will be less prominent than the music. Picture sleeves may have quite prominent ring wear. Creases, folds, seam splits and tears will be more obvious and may appear on all three sides, and there may be writing as well.

(VG-) Very good minus: Foreign noises may be about as prominent as the music. The record still plays through without skipping. The picture sleeve will have more significant seam splits, perhaps to the point where they were taped closed, and highly obvious ring wear and heavier writing. Can serve as a filler until a better one comes along.

(G) Good: We seldom offer a good record for sale unless it is particularily rare for the following reasons: Foreign noises are louder than the recorded music and listening can be distracted by the noise. May or may not play through without skipping, but should be so noted. Picture sleeves are so badly seam split that they may not be able to contain the record within.Tears, folds, writing and ring wear may be overwheming.
