With The Beatles UK STEREO Black & Yellow Parlophone PCS 3045 EX+ LP Label Error

We Ship Worldwide!

Incredible very early UK Parlophone STEREO first pressing of "With The Beatles" (Parlophone PMC 3045) with the label incorrectly stating "DOMION"publishing credit for the track "You Really Got A Hold On Me", and incorrect title of "You Really Gotta Hold On Me" (instead of "You Really Got A Hold On Me") on the rear of the jacket.  The jacket also has the large "STEREO" printing at the top right (as all original pressings have) and the mistakenly printed earlier darker cover photo.

First stereo pressings of this LP are particularly rare as the production of mono LP's far outnumbered the production of stereo LP's in 1963. Also, there were a series of printing errors when this LP was first issued in England in November of 1963. On this particular pressing, the publishing credit for the track "You Really Got A Hold On Me" was incorrectly listed as being "Domion". When this error was discovered, it was quickly changed and the published credit was replaced with the correct credit of "Dominion".  Also, when the original With The Beatles jacket was printed, the cover photo was deemed to dark and subsequent covers had the photo lightened.

All contents are in fantastic condition. See grading below.
