Identical to [r15658862 and r8047172] except that this is a CBS Records Australia contract pressing. Identifiable by their 70mm diameter pressing ring (as opposed to an EMI pressing which has a 33mm diameter pressing ring and Astor Records pressing identifiable by their 38mm diameter pressing ring with a 3mm wide indentation). In the wake of John Lennon's murder, EMI Australia could not cope with the surge in demand for Beatles' records and sought outside assistance in pressing albums. While most of the demand was met by EMI New Zealand, assistance was also sought from CBS Records (located in Sydney) and Astor Records (located in Melbourne). These two facilities pressed albums during the first six months of 1981
