COMMENTS
|
Issued April 1st 1963. Please
Please Me / Ask Me Why was issued a few weeks before in the
US as VJ 498. According to Paul white, the Beatles still not
yet being very famous, this record sold 180 copies. Just like with Love Me Do, original pressings have larger hand-written matrix numbers hand etched in the trail off area. These copies were issued in a glossy Capitol sleeve. These original pressings are credited to Dick James Ltd. 1964 (around 200 copies) and later 1964 pressings are credited to Concertone (=this record). Copies with the original large matrix numbers but with the later Concertone credit have been verified and are not from of the original run. Although still quite hard to find, Later early 1964 repressings exist with the large matrix number and no dash or number. Being good for a few thousand records, stampers were most likely not thrown out after a small run, and later re-used when repressings were needed. This 45 was also dubbed fron the UK single.
