This original UK 7-inch vinyl single (Parlophone, R 5389) features The Beatles' landmark double A-side: "We Can Work It Out" and "Day Tripper". This specific copy is the highly collectible 1966 crossover variation, distinguished by its black and silver Parlophone labels featuring "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." rim text.

Key definitive structural hallmarks for this variant include the mandatory "SOLD IN U.K." centre text and the publisher's credit "NORTHERN SONGS NCB" typeset across two lines. The original 4-pronged push-out centre remains entirely intact. Collectors will also find the authentic KT tax code cleanly embossed onto the Side 2 label area.

Crucially, the dead wax runout grooves bear the original stamped matrix numbers: 7XCE 18341-4 on Side A and 7XCE 18342-1 on Side B. This indicates that while the paper labels were updated with the new Gramophone company text, the vinyl itself was pressed using the early master plates, delivering the definitive, punchy mid-60s mono mix.

The vinyl is graded in solid Very Good Plus (VG+) condition. It is a clean, glossy copy showing just a few, superficial surface marks that do not impact playback integrity. Securely dispatched worldwide in professional, heavy-duty protective cardboard packaging to preserve your vinyl.
