Extremely Rare. I have yet to see one of these being auctioned.

Stampers Not present. (Although one or two very rare examples of "I Feel Fine" have been found with the standard Decca 'BUCKINGHAM' stamper system.)


This record has KT at 9 o'clock with the mother plate 12 (or maybe a 1 and a 2 due to change of mother stamp and the BUCKINGHAM stamper system used by DECCA usually went up to 5.) directly underneath.

There is an I (Clear impression) at 3 o'clock on she's a woman and a U (faint impression but visible) at three o'clock on I Feel Fine, these are the stamper codes.

This is the BUCKINGHAM code used by DECCA
B-1 U-2 C-3 - - - etc
This is the original First Pressing 1964 DECCA contract copy of the Beatles I Feel Fine / She's a woman utilising the Buckingham stamper codes, some sites  still do not have this rare variant recorded.

Decca contract pressing,
No tax code is evident in the push-out centre on either side of the disk.
The ridge is approximately 2.5mm in from the edge of the push-out centre, or 10mm from the centre hole.
There is a second small the edge of the push-out centre. Sold in UK statement present.

Label -  Silver Parlophone (logo: small type)
R5200
Matrix
7XCE 18171 - 1N
7XCE 18172 - 1N
DECCA push out centre
NORTHERN SONGS NCB on both sides.
THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD Upper case.

The record is in good condition, it plays well and clear with no crackle or jumps, as can be seen by the ring-wear it has been well played but also well cared for with the light scratches through years of being taken in and out of a record sleeve. There are no scratches that have broken the vinyl which is undamaged and the record retains a good shine.

Any questions please contact me through ebay. Genuine auction no reserve.

 Please note this record contains the full set of stamper codes. The mother number is under the KT purchase tax code at 9 o'clock with the low single letter stamper codes at three o'clock, there are many Decca contract issues with partial codes, few like this have the full set.
