COMMENTS

Red Parlophone label
with silver ink. One frequently used feature of South African singles is the tri-center. Credited to song writing "McCartney-Lennon" on both sides. Song title of the side-1 was "PLEASE, PLEASE ME" The only markings at all in the dead wax are the basic matrix numbers (7XCE 17217 & 7XCE 17218) - there isn't even a '-1N' to describe the actual matrix or cutting room used. And of course no mother or stamper number. Which suggests (or does it?) that tapes were shipped out to EMI (South Africa) and they created their own stampers. |
