Description
The Beatles - Please Please Me 1963 (Jan 11th) U.K. Rare 1st Press 1G / 1G Stampers (45-R 4983).
A very rare Please Please Me by The Beatles, which erroneously omits the 'MADE IN GT. BRITAIN' at 3 o'clock position, something only present on earliest press runs. Later red label pressings do include ‘MADE IN GT. BRITAIN’ text.
