- Black labels with gold print. Later pressings from mid-1963 onwards had black labels with yellow print and a revised label design.
- "Dick James Mus. Co." publishing credit on tracks A1, A2, B4 & B6. Subsequent issues credit Northern Songs instead.
- The "Photo: Angus McBean" credit on front cover was printed at the extreme bottom-right corner, starting where the 's' of "songs" end (see images). On later sleeves, this credit is printed approximately 1cm further to the left, aligned with the 'g' in "songs".

Please Please Me: Northern Songs Ltd. publishing credit.

Tengo el vinilo, la verdadera obra de arte de la historia de la música- Edited 2 years agoAnyone know which copy my "Introducing the Beatles" is?
The vinyl is feels kind of thin like a 70s pressing.
The cover has a STEREOPHONIC strip and SR 1062 next to it in the right corner, similar to this jacket - https://i.discogs.com/ksOLPlSi6dyzdiJOIglk4c1zCrkgOhZw9h-wrC90KV0/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:600/w:599/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTEwNzYz/NDA4LTE2NDI0MTg5/MTYtNDYyMi5qcGVn.jpeg
Side 1 & Side 2 labels and deadwax have:
63-3402
63-3403
VJLP-1062 on label, both sides.
The label looks very similar to this, But with "The Beatles" under the spindle hole - http://www.yokono.co.uk/collection/beatles/usa/lp/lp_images/non_capitol/vj/intro2_mono1_column_oval_side1.jpg
& White VJ logo at the top, like this - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/19/d5/b5/19d5b51719aeb977654032fb5bf4f14f.jpg
No Stereo indicator on the label and "side 1" sits right on the edge of the ring. 
Just saw a listing now on eBay for 18,000 US!
i need a beatles specialist.. ive browsed for hours and you would think this release page would be better organised.....different versions like black and gold , and gold and black..lol.. my mother gave me her copy which she bought in the late 60s so its genuine..but all versions of this release doesnt tie up with what ive got , certain letters on the matrix dont add up i.e 1980s tune in a 1963 cover..., "STEREO" is in large of which i think must be a 1963 copy and other little pics on the back of the cover which ive not seen on any other version...can any one help ? i can get the photos to you via email if you wish...
I am confused. Why is "Introducing The Beatles" Listed under "Please Please Me". I do not see much resemblance except they have similar songs. But so do a lot of other Beatle albums like the U.S. Capitol albums. If someone knows can you please explain? Thanks much!
I've got a version (but no outer sleeve) of PMC1202 that has Side 1 in silver vinyl, but can't find this variant. It has a black label with Parlophone word and logo in yellow Anyone know what this is?
I got a copy of Introducing the Beatles. george casts no shadow, so it's obviously counterfeit. Is this worth anything?
Can anyone please help me? I have a version I believe to be a 1963 pressing. It's black and yellow, MONO, printed by Ernest J. Day without the small 33 1/3 RPM. However, on the front cover in the bottom left-hand corner, there is a greyish '1' I can't find any versions of with this on? Does anyone know anything about this?
Why is Introducing part of this master? Different track line ups (2 of them!) and completely different artwork
hi, does anyone have the AP-8675 Japan beatles forever series with 2000 yen on the obi please? trying to figure out and collect and wish to know if all the 1st issues for the beatles forever series comes with a 2000 yen obi and 4000 yen for the white album. thank you
