      I have a Meet The Beatles lp ST-2047 that has The Early Beatles label on side two of the vinyl. All the songs though are from Meet The Beatles. I need Help!

          I have a mono T-2047 that I can´t find on Discogs
          It has an Olive Green title on the front cover and George Martin Credit on the back.
          ASCAP (Side-2, Track-1 & 3), the rest all BMI on labels

          The labels are like https://www.discogs.com/release/15248258-The-Beatles-Meet-The-Beatles
          except for no Stereo and T-2047 instead of ST-2047

          Matrix / Runout (Label A): T-1-2047-G-12-1
          Matrix / Runout (Label B): T-2-2047-F-13-1
          Matrix / Runout (Runout A stamped): 3
          Matrix / Runout (Runout B stamped): 2 and a sun or a 6-pointed star

          Can anyone help me identify this press?

            I still have my Meet the Beatles, Mono, that I purchased, probably, in 1964. The lettering is dark brown and the first 2 tracks on side 1 are BMI and all the rest are ASCAP. This configuration isn't listed above. So, I don't know which press it is. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

              Up at the top is Genre, Style, Year. The Year is stating 1963. Should not this be 1964?

                I can't find my version either. Mine has Beatles in brown, no Martin credit, 3 in bottom right back corner. All songs BMI except don't bother me & till there was you which are ASCAP.
                Run out side A: ST-2047-W1
                Run out side B: ST-2047-B4

                  I am so confused! I have a 1964 T-2047 (T-X-1-2047) matrix T1 2047 P17 pressing but unlike any other copy I've found it only credits 2 songs to BMI, not 3. (I want to hold your hand & I wanna be your man). Anybody else have a 2 BMI press?

                    I'm new to vinyl. I have the Matrix / Runout (Label A): ST-X-1-2047
                    Matrix / Runout (Label B): ST-X-2-2047 release. How do I learn more about the source? This sounds like true analog and not from a digital source/repress. But.. Would love to learn more about the source.

                      I have a mono copy and the matrix is T1 2047 P17 with looks like the Los Angeles star and an "I" stamp on side one. The matrix on side two is T2 2047 T22 with just the "I" stamp. The cover has no number next to the RIAA logo. Does anyone know what this is? I can't find the matrix numbers anywhere. Thanks
