1963 UK 1st *STEREO* PRESSING LP
**RARE 'DOMION' LABEL VARIANT**
This rare 1963 UK 1st stereo pressing is on the black & yellow Parlophone label: PCS 3045

The publishing credit for track 3, side 2 is misspelt as 'Domion'.
The side 2 label carries the incorrect 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me' spelling.
The publishing credit for 'Money' is 'Jobete Mus. NCB'.
A faint 'K' tax/price code is visible on the side 1 label.
Housed in an early, front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed large stereo logo cover.
The front panel shows the early, dark 'make-up' image, which was lightened on all later issues.
The rear panel carries the incorrect 'You Really Gotta Hold On Me' spelling.
Complete with its original 'Use Emitex' poly-lined inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: YEX 110-2 & YEX 111-2
Stamper numbers: -/RD & 1/A

Both surfaces retain ther 'as new' deep gloss shines and are undulled by overplay of incorrect long-term storage.
