Note: This copy is a beautiful and "Archived" copy with only a few small flaws. As some Beatle's vinyl fans may know, there were not many Stereo copies of this particular version of the record as referenced on beatlebay.co.uk. This was the last version created in 63' before yet another series of label additions/variations and changes. The U.K. Stereo pressings from 1963 were pressed in very small quantities, maybe hundreds, and always less than a few thousand individual pieces. Most copies now have been destroyed, discarded, damaged, played to death and worn, or were poorly kept. The Beatles were only big in the U.K. with this album in 63', and Stereo was not the desired format with pressings made in very low numbers, making this item truly rare, especially in this condition.
