Early first press copies carry catalogue number PMC 1202 and feature the famous gold print labels that were only used for a very short period before being replaced by the black and yellow Parlophone design. True first pressings feature XEX 421-1N and XEX 422-1N matrices and are among the most sought-after Beatles records ever produced. Black and gold label copies remain the holy grail for many Beatles collectors due to their rarity and historical significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI Saw Her Standing There\u003cbr\u003e\nMisery\u003cbr\u003e\nAnna (Go To Him)\u003cbr\u003e\nChains\u003cbr\u003e\nBoys\u003cbr\u003e\nAsk Me Why\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease Please Me\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLove Me Do\u003cbr\u003e\nP.S.
