COMMENTS		Test pressings are manufacturing samples intended to check the quality of a record before it is mass-produced. They are produced in very limited quantities and are very rare. Originally, they were not intended for public distribution. A blank version of the Odeon promotional label was used for this test pressing. The catalog number "OR-1204" is stamped at the bottom of the label. The title is handwritten on the label at a later time. The test pressing was manufactured on red vinyl. According to "The Illustrated Guide To The '60s Japanese LP With Obi" (published by Shinko Music Entertainment Co., Ltd.), the deadwax may also contain cutting dates. The press mark can typically be found stamped into the deadwax at the 9 o'clock position of Side 1. Most test pressings do not have a press mark stamped on them, but this test pressing has a "B4" stamped on it. Toshiba released the first Japanese record credited to The Beatles as a group: "I Want To Hold Your Hand / This Boy (OR-1041)". When this record was released in 1964, Toshiba's official name was "Toshiba Musical Industries Ltd." and they used the Odeon label for this and subsequent Beatles releases. Since Toshiba positioned red vinyl—which featured "anti-static" properties at the time—as their flagship product, the LPs, singles, and EPs were primarily released on red vinyl (especially the LPs). As uniquely Japanese pressings, they are particularly popular among audiophiles. Nearly all of the Japanese Beatles singles were issued with a bifold picture lyric sheet and a company inner sleeve. "Please Please Me" has a lower catalog number and was scheduled to be the first Odeon Beatles single. However, "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was rush-released to the market first.

		Two key identifying characteristics with which the collector should be familiar are the circled letter symbol and the price. These are important to note because Toshiba would periodically repress records without changing catalog numbers, but with different symbols and price designations. "MADE IN JAPAN", the "F" symbol, and "¥330" are printed at the bottom of the lyric sheet.

COMMENTS		This is a reissue of the 1964 release, sharing the same title and catalog number but featuring a different picture sleeve from the original. Advertisements for "The Beatles' fashion" are printed on the back of the lyric sheet. Hiroyuki Takashima, the director in charge of The Beatles at Toshiba Musical Industries at the time, approached "Kyobashi Tailor" in the Nishi-Ginza Department Store with an offer to "give them the rights to the Beatles suit," and had them manufacture collarless jackets made by Noble Castle. Takashima then had his PR staff wear the 30 provided suits and parade through the streets of Ginza. In return, it is said that an advertisement for the tailor was printed on the back cover of this single record's sleeve.
