Some time ago I downloaded a version of the 1978 Blue Box Collection that had this artwork which was consistent with all the albums. I wasn't aware of any official CD versions, let alone the fact that CDs didn't exist until 1984! Probably a bootleg, but by who — Dr. Ebbett, Dr. Robert, ?? Please, Please Me and Get Back to me with any HELP! in identifying this version so I can Let It Be (please pardon the bad puns)

thanks!

Incorrect.

Not until March 1983.
