THE BEATLES/WITH THE BEATLES PMC 1206 (-63) UK MONO

Gotta post this but not sure what to write that isn't common knowledge already, so I'll just start from scratch and see where it goes. My copy isn't even a very first press...well not a true second press either, but somewhere inbetween. The cover - with large mono on front and the misspelled "You Really Gotta Hold On Me" - is 1st and so are the matrix no:s (-1N/-1N). But the label has the correct "You Really Got A Hold On Me" and "Belinda" credit for "Money", while the very first has "Jobete". As I understand the YRGAHOM spelling on label was corrected at about the same time they abandoned the first matrix settings, and in that case this may be one of the the very last on -1N/-1N. The mother/stamper no:s are also very high (side one 10/RLA, side two 10/RAR), so a change may have been needed to maintain quality. A transition copy it is, showing these pressings often didn't have waterproof bulkheads between them, there was also overlapping at times. Btw the label also has "Recording first published 1963" without the "Sold in UK..." and the vinyl is thick and unflexible. If You're interested in variations also check post on the Australian issue with alternate front cover https://monolover.blogspot.se/2017/01/the-beatleswith-beatles-pmco-1206-63.html.
