Notes

Decca contract pressing identified by the large deep 2¾" diameter pressing ring which is 1¼" from the spindle hole, and approximately ½" from the outer circumference of the label. There are 2 other variants pressed by no code.

The main differentiator of this early pressing, compared to later versions, is the black & yellow Parlophone label with perimeter rim copyright text beginning, 'THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD...', and the text 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963' above the side indicator numeral.

There are a number of other differentiators present on both the labels and the cover.

Label:
1- The title of B3 is given as 'You Really Got A [instead of: 'Gotta'] Hold On Me'.
2 - The line beginning 'Your Man' on side B ends with 'Northern'. A similar version has the line ending with 'Songs'.
3 - The publishing credit for B7 'Money' is given as 'Dominion.Belinda (Ldn.) Ltd.'. Earlier pressings credit 'Jobete Mus. NCB'.

Cover:
1 - Front laminated, tri-flipback and printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd., with a large 'MONO' indicator on the front, top, right hand corner.
2 - The title of track B3 as 'You Really Got A [instead of: 'Gotta'] Hold On Me'.
