This copy matches the following variation (from Discogs).
1: The centre text, 'Sold In U.K. subject to resale price conditions. See price lists', or variations thereof, was in effect between late February 1964 until mid 1969.
2: Due to organizational changes during the summer of 1965, EMI's subsidiary labels changed their perimeter copyright text, on albums, which replaced the name of the subsidiary label to 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD'.



LABEL BACKDROP 1:

The publishing copyright date is given as 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964', and is nearly left-aligned compared to the matrix number above it.
The group's name 'THE BEATLES' is closer to the 'Northern Songs Music Ltd.' publishing credit below it than the '(Lennon-McCartney)' credit above it.
A2 'I Should Have Known Better' has it's title split over 2 lines.
All of the song titles on side 2 appear on separate lines.
