Note: This copy is a beautiful and "Archived" copy with only a few small flaws. 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. 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, making this item truly rare, especially in this condition.
