Please read the information below supplied by BeatlesCollecting.co.uk to fully understand and appreciate the item for sale

 

Collectable 1st variation label variation details:

UK With The Beatles Y&B with the "Jobete" credit for Money - the "Jobete" credit for the song Money denotes a very early pressing since this initial credit was incorrect and the labels were later changed to the correct credit which should have been "Dominion".  You should not pass up a mono copy with the "Jobete" credit!

Any copy of the Beatles' first four UK releases with "The Parlophone Co. LTD..." printed along the label rim. Later pressings (starting in 1965) were changed to "The Gramophone Co. LTD...". Copies of the first four LPs with "The Parlophone Co. LTD..." are worth more than copies with the "Gramophone Co. LTD..." text.

Mono 1st Pressing, (Variation A)

When this LP was initially released there were a few little problems on the label that still had to be cleared up. The song title 'You Really Got a Hold on Me' was mis-spelled as 'You Really Gotta Hold on Me' and the song 'Money' was credited to the publishers 'Jobete'. In stereo these are quite easy to find, but in mono this label variation is a lot scarcer. On all the original copies, the credit to 'Till There Was You' was mis-spelled as 'Willson'.

 

As can been seen from the close up photographs of the labels, this copy has ALL of the above distinctions (highlighted in blue) and is therefore the first and most collectable mono version of "With The Beatles"
