 Er, nope, sorry. Think you’ll have to wait for the £16 one to come along. That’s testing your patience though and maybe your best bet is a seller at a car boot sale who doesn’t know the real value. Best of luck!

 Can you lend me 16 grand then? :)

(On the understanding that I can't pay you back... ever.)

I'm poor.

 Good try MM but I’m afraid you’ll have to raid a much larger personal piggie bank to get it.

 Ooh, that's reasonable!

... What currency is a "K"? ...I can spare 16 pounds to convert to Ks to buy it! :)

 Added twin-flipback rear sleeve from early 70s issue. Front of sleeve is the same as An6y66's without the 'stereo' (473849).

 This was one of the last LP,s to convert to Yellow & Black, but one of the more notable. There were 500 pressed, with about 150 being in Stereo, simply because Mono was more popular.

 Thanks for the information. As an aside am I correct in this Parlophone LP was the last of the coveted black and gold label before EMI introduced the matt black paper and yellow ink label design?

 Please Please Me, and Ask Me Why were published before the setting up of Northern Songs, all the rest after. The first labels that carry the credits as Dick James Music, is a printers error.

 Why were Lennon McCartney songs publishing changed from Dick James to Northern Songs whilst Please Please Me remained the same Dick James Music?

 I've added images 92339 and 92340 from a later issue with bar code, variations at the bottom of the rear cover and label variations.The text is arranged differently and the perimeter text reads "All rights of the producer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Unauthorised copying, hiring, renting, public performance and broadcasting of this record prohibited. Manufactured in the UK by EMI records limited"
