The first thing that you will notice about this set is that ALL of the albums are on the Parlophone label with no Apple pressings at all. This design Parlophone label is unique to South Africa.
As regards content, they all mirror the British pressings of the albums with identical track listings to the UK issues. The box is similar to the UK issue, but a slightly 'smoother' texture.
The main differences are in the sleeve layouts, which are often markedly different to their UK counterparts. All the sleeves are matte - no laminates at all.
Every sleeve is a unique variant but some sleeves are very different.
A few of the notable differences :
PLEASE PLEASE ME
White 'bar' at the top of the front of the sleeve with EMI & Parlophone logos in the top right.
A HARD DAYS NIGHT
Front of the sleeve is PURPLE, not blue.
SGT PEPPER
Non gatefold & a wierd combination of what appears to be the US style front with the UK style back. No insert.
THE BEATLES
Parlophone label. Non embossed, non printed front of sleeve - It is plain white. The only markings on the outer of the gatefold are 'STEREO' printed in the back top right & 'THE BEATLES PCSJ(S)7067/8' down the spine in gold lettering. No Inserts.
YELLOW SUBMARINE
Parlophone label.
ABBEY ROAD
Parlophone label. Logos on front of sleeve with catalogue number & 'STEREO' at the top of the front in white. White 'bars' top & bottom of the rear of the sleeve.
LET IT BE
Parlophone label, therefore no Apple on the back.
RARITIES
Another purple, rather than blue sleeve.
