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 --"IMPORTANT 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 Mus. 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.
The Second pressing, the publishing credit had changed to "Northern Songs".

It is not known as it has been much made copies of the first stereo press, but all copies have only two variants of codes of a stamp: 1G/1R or 1R/1G. Therefore the total of copies of the first stereo press could not be more than 600.
Sleeves for Parlophone did two London’s of printing house: Ernest J. Day & Co Ltd. and Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. The first issue of "Please Please Me" has a sleeve made by Ernest J. Day & Co Ltd only.

This stereo versions of "Love Me Do" have been created from the mono versions, because original master tapes are lost.
The cover photo was taken at EMI's former headquarters at Manchester Sq. by Angus McBean on 5th March 1963.

After the test pressings were approved, and copies were run with the promo labels on them, the printer then loaded the machines with the proper labels for the disk's standard release. Then samples were taken from possibly each press machine making the records, and affixed with a sticker (red ink on white) and checked for quality. Except for the sticker, the disk is exactly as it will be when it is released.

COMMENTS
 Black and yellow Parlophone label with silver print:
the name "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD. (capital letter)" on the outer rim, the "SOLD IN U.K." remark, and the "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963" statement.

Beginning in 1964, Parlophone (and all the other EMI companies) began printing a phrase in the centers of all their singles, EP's and LP's, which said:

SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO
RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS,
SEE PRICE LISTS.

This notice appears on the labels of every UK market EMI product, from very early 1964, right through mid-1969.

Sleeves for Parlophone did two London’s of printing house: Ernest J. Day & Co Ltd. and Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. The 6th. pressing has a sleeve made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. only (maybe).
The word "stereo", on upper right of the front cover, is Middle size.

With NEM'S store retail bag at the Liverpool, Whitechapel.

COMMENTS
 Black and White Parlophone label with silver print:
with two "EMI" marks, placed at the top and bottom, which are white with black print (reversed).

Parlophone resumed production LPs in 1976. The start of the perimeter print was changed to “EMI RECORDS LTD…”. The text “GT. BRITAIN” was removed from the label. Instead, added “MADE IN GT. BRITAIN” text at the end of the perimeter print. This label used between summer 1976 and october 1980. To do this, EMI make new laqueurs at Abbey Road Studios. All albums were cut by Harry T. Moss. Therefore, the trail off area has its initials HTM.
