Vinyl in lovely condition with only minimal surface marks and a nice sheen.

The laminated sleeve is also in great condition, with only slight creasing to front and minor wear to rear, including very small pen marks against tracks 1,4 and 7 and a small circle around "1963"
Through research I believe this to be an original 1st press.

"1. First pressing. November 22, 1963. Black label with yellow logo and silver print.“The Parlophone Co. Ltd.” printed at the start perimeter print and “Recording first published 1963?. “Jobete” publishing credit for “Money” (Side 2). First pressing has misspeled “You Really Gotta Hold On Me” credit on the Side 2. Tracing-paper-lined “Use Emitex” die-cut inner sleeve. With or without KT tax code on the label. Matrix numbers: Side 1: YEX 110-2; Side 2: YEX 111-2."
Original Emitex sleeve in EX- condition.
"Lacquers make Masters which in turn produce Mothers which then create Stampers. So for your Parlophone records, the Master is the matrix at the 6 o’clock position, the Mother is the number etched in the deadwax at the 9 o’clock location and the Stamper is identified by the letter(s) etched at the 3 o’clock postion. For the 3 o’clock position, Parlophone use the following coding: G R A M O P H L T D (Gramophone Ltd) where G=1, R=2, A=3, M=4, O=5, P=6, H=7, L=8, T=9 and D=0. Therefore, many times you will see more then one letter etched in the dead wax in the Stamper location (3 o’clock). For example, if “MM” is etched, it means the record was pressed with the 44th stamper. The ultimate early pressing of any Beatles Parlophone LP would be denoted with the codes 1/G 1/G (side 1 and side 2), where the “1? represents the first Mother (9 o’clock) and the “G” denotes the first Stamper (3 o’clock) or one of the first 300 off the press!"
So this record has the first Mother to both sides, with one side also having the 1st Stamper with the other side having the 2nd stamper!
