Enhance your vintage record collection with this highly interesting variant of The Beatles' monumental late-1963 single, "I Want To Hold Your Hand". This particular 45 rpm release represents a crucial moment in British pop culture, serving as the explosive track that finally unlocked international chart success for the group and established their global dominance.

This specific initial run is distinct from other debut-year pressings due to a unique typographical configuration on its classic silver-on-black Parlophone labels. While it lacks the "SOLD IN U.K." text that became standard on later editions, it explicitly features the "N.C.B." rights society credit on the face of the label. The traditional 4-pronged push-out centre remains completely intact and undamaged. Precision collectors will appreciate the dead wax markings, which feature the prized, earliest stamped 1N/1N matrix endings (7XCE 17559-1N and 7XCE 17560-1N) in the runout grooves.

The reverse side houses the exceptional B-side accompaniment, "This Boy", featuring a stellar, three-part harmony performance by John, Paul, and George that remains a fan favourite. We strictly evaluate all archival inventory to meet the expectations of specialist buyers. This copy is graded in strong Very Good Plus (VG+) condition; the vinyl displays a very clean, bright appearance with only a few light, superficial surface marks that do not detract from its excellent overall presentation.

For serious discography completionists tracking down the subtle label print mutations of late 1963, this Parlophone R 5084 variant is a magnificent find. Secure this beautifully preserved example of classic Merseybeat history for your collection.
