Notes

NOTE! this page is for 1st pressings with the MT tax code on side 2 and covers printed by Garrod & Lofthouse only.

First pressings are on the black and yellow Parlophone label and carry a "Jobete" publishing credit on the label for the track "Money", underexposed front cover photo, perimeter lettering beginning "The Parlophone...", "Recording First Published 1963" at 9 o'clock on labels, "You Really Gotta [instead of: Got A] Hold On Me" misspelt on side two label and on rear cover. 

Later first pressings come with K T purchase tax code. This is due to pressings made to cover advance orders which began while the MT tax code was still in use.
