Notes

The main differentiator of this 1st pressing, compared to later versions, is the black & yellow Parlophone label with perimeter rim copyright text beginning, 'THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD...', and the text 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963' above the side indicator numeral.

There are a number of other differentiators present on both the labels and the cover.

Label:
1 - The title of B1 'Roll Over Beethoven' is indented so that the 'R' appears over the 'I' in 'BIEM' below it. Other versions have the 'R' over the 'BI'.
2 - The title of B3 is given as 'You Really Gotta [instead of: 'Got A'] Hold On Me'.
3 - The publishing credit for B7 'Money' is given as 'Jobete Mus. NCB'. Later pressings credit 'Dominion.Belinda (Ldn.) Ltd.'.
4 - The MT purchase tax code embossing on the label on either side of the spindle hole. A similar variant has the code MKT.
5 - The `N` of Northern Songs credits to title B2 appears over both letters in ME below it. Other versions have the `N` over the `E`.

Cover:
1 - Front laminated, tri-flipback and printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd., with a large 'MONO' indicator on the front, top, right hand corner. A similar variant is printed by Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd.
2 - The title of track B3 as 'You Really Gotta [instead of: 'Got A'] Hold On Me'.
