Matrix number for the A side is 63-2967; B side is 63-2968.
This is listed as Vee Jay 01A in Beatles' reference books. This is the most scarce of the Vee Jay 498s and is the actual first commercial pressing.
The labels are clean with just a very small mark on the A side. The vinyl looks great with some light scratches, etc - visually grades - vg++ or better. Plays great.
