Own a classic piece of British pop culture with this 1976 UK Parlophone reissue of the band's historic multi-million seller, "I Want To Hold Your Hand". This 45 rpm single was manufactured in Great Britain specifically for the highly sought-after Singles Collection 1962-1970 box set series, providing a fantastic way to enjoy the group's early hits in their original analogue mono glory.

This particular mid-seventies pressing is distinguished by the silver-on-black Parlophone label design with a fully intact, 4-pronged knockout centre. For serious vinyl collectors tracking exact matrix paths, the runout grooves carry the stamped -3/-3 matrix formulas (7XCE 17559-3 and 7XCE 17560-3) in the dead wax without any subsequent stamper letters. The single comes housed in its iconic green-bordered flipback card picture sleeve, immediately recognisable by the vintage group photograph printed across the reverse panel.

The flip side features the brilliant B-side accompaniment, "This Boy", which remains celebrated by rock historians for its incredibly sophisticated three-part vocal harmony arrangement. We evaluate all vintage second-hand stock against strict industry definitions. The vintage flipback card sleeve is graded Very Good Plus (VG+), presenting very well and remaining structurally sound, with some honest storage ringwear visible on the back. The vinyl record itself achieves an exceptional Excellent (EX) grade, retaining a brilliant mirror-like gloss and an incredibly clean, well-preserved playing surface.

Whether you are completing a gap in an existing retrospective box set or investing in premium 1970s British rock pressings, this Parlophone R 5084 issue delivers spectacular audio quality. Secure this timeless piece of analogue history for your setup.
