Original copies have stamped into the run-out grooves small letters, something like "ZT" or "KT".
THIS ONE HAS "ZT" *...
These are an indication of the tax due on the sale of the record, at that time known as "Purchase Tax".
Nowadays in England it is called "V.A.T.". Either way, these letters changed as the tax changed,
and therefore one can date these red label pressings pretty accurately.
Here are the dates each code first appeared :
"WT" - 1st August 1960
"OT" - 26th July 1961
"ZT" - 10th April 1962 *
"PT" - 26th November 1962
"MT" - 1st January 1963
"KT" - 1st July 1963
After this date "KT" remained on all Beatle's singles.
