Notes
Please note the main differentiator between this, 1963 black label / silver text repress, and the 1964 represses which can be seen here and here, is the absence of the centre label text,'SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO
RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS,
SEE PRICE LISTS.'
Please also note the following differentiators present on this variant's label.
1 - The perimeter rim copyright text beginning, 'The Parlophone Co. Ltd' is in title case.
2 - The label publishing text, 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1962' is in upper case.
3 - The lower case 't' in the 'Gt.', in the label text 'Made In Gt. Britain'.
4 - The large 'Parlophone' logo at the top of the label.
In January 1963 Parlophone ceased production of its red label design. Consequently original issues of Love Me Do & Please Please Me were the only Beatles singles, released in the '60s in the UK, with these red labels. The red labels included the 45- prefix in the catalogue number, to differentiate from 78 RPM records, even though Parlophone had ceased the production of these by the late '50s.
