Notes

Recorded in England. High Fidelity Recording.

2nd label mono variant pressings (Scranton) have 'ASCAP' after every title except "I Want To Hold Your Hand" (BMI). Black label with colorband. Issued with the first variation jackets with 'Beatles' on cover in tan to brown print. No producer credit on back cover.

According to "Price Guide for Beatles' American Records" (6th ed.) by Cox & Daniels, this 2nd label variant was used for a sigificant part of the initial east coast production run, and were initially packaged with the first jacket variation (with no George Martin credit).

The number 3 appears bottom right of back cover indicating, Modern Album of Long Island, NY as printer of jacket.

Runouts are all stamped.

    So I think I have a copy of this release, but my runouts are T1-2047-P5 and T2-2047-T2. Can anyone help ?

      Seems to me this listing should be merged with https://www.discogs.sie.com/release/2495616-The-Beatles-Meet-The-Beatles ?

        This slab of vinyl is nearly 60 years old. My copy is riddled with scratches—nothing too deep, just the kind that are inevitable with age and use. And yet, there is less surface noise present than on many newer albums which appear to be in pristine condition. The sound is bold and immediate. No wonder the kids went batshit for this.

          Q: my run outs definitely match this release [ (Side A Runout stamped (variant 9): T1-2047-G4'' #2 (Scranton triangle) & (Side B Runout stamped (variant 8): T2-2047-P3 #2 (Scranton triangle) ], as does the cover and label design.

          However, BMI appears after tracks A1 & A2 as well as B5 with ASCAP appears after all the other songs.

          I do not find my run out combo on any other pressing listed and certainly not matched with the cover and label design. Could the description of this release have the "BMI" details wrong or might I have yet another variation of this ubiquitous release?
