This is by far and away the rarest first press stereo variant of "With the Beatles" you will ever see.

Few Beatles regular issue records are rare, they sold in astronomical numbers and have never been hard to find. That said, the first stereo pressings of this album with all known to exist printing errors (corrected one by one during the early pressing phase) is nearly impossible to find in any condition  -  especially "domion" instead of "dominion" misprint is believed to be far rarer than The White Album "rocky racoon" mispress, not least because so few stereo copies of this LP were pressed in 1963 (few people owned stereo systems in 1963 and the vast majority of copies that sold initially were the mono version).

Here comes the description of the early misprints (see embedded pictures):

Label errors:

1. very first pressings featured the incorrect "Jobete" credit for "Money" (this should have been "Dominion Belinda")

2. track listing was incorrectly listed as "I really gotta hold on you" (this should have read "I really got a hold on you")   

3. thirdly (the rarest error) the credit for "I really got a hold on you" should read "Dominion" but incorrectly printed as "Domion")

Cover errors:

1. the listing was incorrectly printed as "gotta" (the same as on the label)

2. front picture was printed so dark that the faces of the band were almost completely blacked out (this was quickly changed to a lighter version)

Pressing characteristics:

1.   No "Sold in UK" statement on the label

2.   "Recording first published in 1963" on the label

3.   "The Parlophone Co. Ltd." on the label

4.   KT Tax Code on the label Side A

5.   matrix:  YEX 110-2 / 111-2

6.   stampers:  RD / GA

7.   no Tax Code

Cover characteristics:

1.  small STEREO logo version

2.  Garrod & Lofthouse laminated flipback cover

3.  original Emitex inner sleeve

Catalogue no:   PARLOPHONE PCS 3045
