This version has the 'MADE IN GT. BRITAIN' at 3 o'clock on Side A but not on Side B. A PT tax code stamped in the groove denotes a single produced prior to mid January 1963. ------------------------------------------ The red label pressings can be found with MT, MPT and PT tax code, or without. PT was discontinued shortly before the release of this record. The early copies typically have PT stamped in the runouts and embossed on the labels, with M subsequent added to give the MPT code.
