A variant of the “second issue” label (black labels with 45-R 4983 as the catalog number). The variation is in the position of “Recording first published 1963” relative to the matrix numbers at 9 o’clock. This version has the "R" in "Recording First Published 1963" set between the "7" and the "X" under the matrix prefix "7XCE" on A-side and under the "X” on the B-side. This submission has a B side label centre embossing but all I can clearly make out without "guessing" if there is anything else embossed is an "M" at 12 o'clock above the spindle hole. MADE IN Gt BRITAIN Additional label design features:- This submission has the "M" of MUSIC sitting directly under the "K" of DICK on the A side. On the B side the "M" sits under the "CK". Also on the A side the "M" of McCartney in the song-writing credits is under the "EA" of PLEASE On the B side the "M" of McCartney is directly under the "A" of ASK. All of the above features differ on other label variants for this 45 - R release. The variant described has not been listed on Discogs previously.
