The Beatles ?– Please Please Me/Ask Me Why - UK 1st Pressing - Original

I have two listed....
Credits McCartney/Lennon - before change to Lennon/McCartney 1st Pressing on Red Parlophone before they went to Black Parlophone - before they were THE Beatles (before it all exploded).
1st pressing red label with silver print. 45-R prefix in record number. These labels have “PARLOPHONE” in large stylized letters at the top and the Parlophone £ logo at 3 o’clock with "Made in Gt. Britain" directly beneath. The publishing year was printed on the label, as “RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963?.

Much like the red label on The Beatles Love Me Do single, there are label variations. This version contains the 'MADE IN GT. BRITAIN' at 3 o'clock. 
Vinyl (Very good for age) / labels are excellent. (see pictures).
No issues.    
I have been collecting for 40 years - now I have to start to break up the collection as I retire. Thanks for looking. Send questions/requests for additional photos.

Matrix / Runout (Runout A): 7XCE-17217-1N Matrix / Runout (Runout B): 7XCE-17218-1N Both have PT Tax codes stamped in the groves.

On Jul-19-19 at 13:30:16 PDT, seller added the following information:

NOTE  - THIS IS A FIRST PRESS WITHOUT MADE IN Great Britain.  PER DISCOGS:


Much like the red label on The Beatles - Love Me Do there are label variations. This version erroneously omits the 'MADE IN GT. BRITAIN' at 3 o'clock. That's why Parlophone pressed these labels to the discs prior to the ones with the designation. A PT tax code stamped in the groove denotes a single produced prior to mid January 1963.
