THE BEATLES
"WITH THE BEATLES"
VERY RARE
1963
1st UK MONO PRESSING
ON THE YELLOW & BLACK
PARLOPHONE LABEL
PMC 1206
Why is this so rare..........?
It has the correct 'Dominion Belinda' credit for "Money" on Side 2 instead of the incorrect 'Jobete' credit; and has the correct spelling of "You Really Got A Hold on Me". However, it has the earliest 1N & 1N 1st pressing Matrices. It is very rare to get a 1N/1N pressing with the above correct credits. Nearly all 1N/1N pressings have 'Jobete' credited for "Money" and the incorrect 'Gotta' spelling on the label and on the rear of the cover.
Only a handful of "With the Beatles" were pressed in 1963 with these 'corrected' credits before the matrices were changed to 3N and later 4N, 5N, 6N & 7N.
