The silver-on-black Parlophone labels on this particular December 1965 seven-inch record carry the distinct three-line layout for the "NORTHERN SONGS NCB" publishing credits, making it a key variation for avid text researchers. Bearing catalogue number R 5389, the 45 rpm disc features the mandatory "SOLD IN U.K." imprint alongside the early "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD." rim text statement. The original four-pronged knockout hub is perfectly preserved, and a crisp, mechanical KT tax code remains clearly embossed onto the paper surface of the primary side.

This copy provides a unique manufacturing lineage for audio enthusiasts, pairing a later -4 matrix correction on the initial face with the earliest -1 master on the flip. Machine-stamped dead wax runouts verify the production details, reading 7XCE 18341-4 KT 3 RG and 7XCE 18342-1. KT 8 MH respectively. The historic double A-side offering pairs the acoustic-driven optimism of the main title track with the hard-edged, riff-heavy companion masterpiece "Day Tripper" on Side AA.

An exceptional specimen, the physical state of the vinyl merits a beautiful Excellent (EX) grade. The plastic surfaces are brilliantly clean, boasting a mirror-like factory gloss and pristine grooves that guarantee premium audio playback. Both labels look incredibly fresh, entirely free from any handwriting, storage scuffs, or wear. Hand-selected for our online archive, this superb Beatles variant comes with our complete satisfaction guarantee.
