    Notes

    In January 1963 Parlophone ceased production of its red label design. Consequently original issues of "Love Me Do" & "Please Please Me" were issued with red labels including the 45- prefix in the catalogue number (although 78-RPM records had ceased production by the late 50's).

    This variation of the red label issue is with ''Made in Gt. Britain'' on both sides of the label. 

    A ZT tax code stamped in the groove denotes a pressing made before mid November 1962

    Hi All.


    After an interesting and much appreciated  message,  I would to add those comments for all buyers and prospective buyers to see.   According to Bruce Spizer, if the pressing is really from November 1962, the tax code should only be ZT. As your single has MPZT, it is from the second quarter of 1963.
