COMMENTS	Black Parlophone label with gold ink and "LONG PLAYING" curved across the top. At the center of the label, the word "STEREO" on gold ribbon was printed. The word "stereo", on upper right of the front cover, is large. There is the words in the box --"This record is intended for use only on special stereophonic reproducers. ..."-- on upper right of the back cover. On 8th March, when George Martin typed up the running order sheet for "PLEASE PLEASE ME", he mistakenly credited 4 songs(*) as being published by the Dick James Co. This is the list that went to the printers, from which the first incorrect batch of labels was made, for both the mono and stereo pressings. This stereo versions of "Love Me Do" have been created from the mono versions, because original master tapes are lost.
