Description

"Day One" UK first pressing of The Beatles' 1964 smash "Can't Buy Me Love" / "You Can't Do That" (Parlophone R 5114).
This isn't just a standard 1964 copy; the dead wax reveals it is one of the earliest records to ever leave the Hayes factory.


The "Holy Grail" Stamper: The B-side features the elusive "1 G" stamper code. This indicates it was among the first 300–500 copies ever pressed from the very first Mother plate.
A-Side Code: 1 GDA (Stamper 103)—a fascinating "mismatched" transitional pair from the initial March 1964 production run

Full runouts i had tried to photograph but it’s difficult but here they are:
A side: 7XCE 17657-1N KT 1 GDA

B side: 7XCE 17658-1N KT 1 G

Plays through quite well, no skips or jumps although cosmetically it has a lot of marks.
