3rd Pressing (Type B), Summer 1963
This version is the rare third Mono pressing without the small 33⅓ at 9 o'clock on the labels. Black and Yellow Parlophone label with silver print. The name "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD.(capital letters)" on the outer rim
"RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963" statement not yet added. Without the small "33 1/3" print on the labels.
The word "mono", on upper right of the front cover, is large.
Like this copy, some came with the first pressing sleeves with Angus McBean to the far right of the front sleeve.
Condition
Sleeve (VG+): Sleeve in very good condition with some creasing to the laminate around spine and corners. There is some light discolouration and foxing to the rear panel. The flipbacks are still intact, however there is some minor wear to bottom right corner.
Record (VG): Conservatively graded and probably closer to VG+. There are light hairline marks and scuffs to both sides, although these look to be non-feelable and not enough to effect playback.
Inner (VG+): Original Emitex inner in very good condition with no tears or seam splits.
