titles of the replacement songs on the back. The front is

the same back cover slick with "PLEASE, PLEASE ME" with a
comma followed by a small gap. On some of these covers,
there is a larger gap following the comma. No stereo covers
have been confirmed with "PLEASE PLEASE ME" without a comma. When pressing plants ran out of stereo covers, they did not wait for new stereo covers to arrive. Instead, they converted mono covers into stereo covers by either placing a sticker on the cover or embossing the cover. Most of stereo Version Two discs were pressed with label backdrops having the outer rim colorband and a large white brackets logo. Several typesetting variations have been confirmed. *Ver.2 stereo discs most likely do not exist with album-size label backdrops having the outer rim colorband and oval logo.
