The Beatles first ever UK release: red label Parlophone R4949
Ringo on drums! MPZT tax code in dead wax. You can just about see the 'P' and the 'T' embossed next to the center hole. A website (jpgr.co.uk) stated that this code was first introduced on November 26th, 1962 and replaced by 'MT' on January 1st 1963. So, this record was not an early batch - these would have the letters 'Z' & 'T' next to the hole. Most importantly, my copy is in very nice shape.
