YES, THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS NOTED IN THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION.
PAULWHITE, WHO SERVED AS CAPITOL OF CANADA'S MARKETING MANAGER AND WORKED IN THEARTISTS AND REPERTOIRE DEPARTMENT WAS GIVEN THE JOB OF REVIEWING EMI DISCS FORPOSSIBLE RELEASE IN CANADA. IN JANUARY 1963, WHITE RECEIVED A STACK OF SINGLESFROM EMI. INCLUDED IN THE BATCH WAS THE BEATLES FIRST SINGLE, "LOVE MEDO" B/W "P.S. I LOVE YOU", WHICH WAS RELEASED IN ENGLAND ONPARLOPHONE ON OCTOBER 5, 1962. HE IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT THAT HE DEFINITELY MUSTRELEASE THIS RECORD.
AS WAS OFTEN THE PRACTICE AT THAT TIME, WHITE DID NOT BOTHER TO OBTAIN THEMASTER TAPE FROM EMI. INSTEAD, "LOVE ME DO" AND "P.S. I LOVEYOU" WERE DUBBED FROM THE PARLOPHONE 45. THUS, WHEN THE SINGLE WASRELEASED ON FEBRUARY 4, 1963, ON CAPITOL OF CANADA 72076, IT FEATURED THEVERSION OF "LOVE ME DO" WITH RINGO ON DRUMS - AND IS ONE OF THEWORLD'S ALL TIME RAREST 45 SINGLES. THIS EXAMPLE IS IN NEAR MINT "ASNEW" UNPLAYED CONDITION AND IT CANNOT BE UPGRADED.
THIS RECORD IS EXTREMELY VITAL TO THE BEATLES HISTORY AS IT IS THE VERYFIRST EVER RECORD ATTRIBUTED AND TITLED TO "THE BEATLES" IN NORTHAMERICA AND ISSUED SIXTEEN DAYS BEFORE THE U.S. VEE-JAY 498 SINGLE "PLEASEPLEASE ME".
ISSUED ON FEBRUARY 4, 1963, IT WOULD NOT BE UNTIL 16 MONTHS LATER THATTHIS SINGLE WAS ISSUED IN THE U.S. ON THE TOLLIE LABEL WITH A COMPLETELYDIFFERENT VERSION OF THE SONG WITH ANDY WHITE ON DRUMS. THE VERY NEXT CANADIANREISSUE FOLLOWING THIS SINGLE WAS NOT RELEASED UNTIL THE WINTER OF 1963.
VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE IS NO SUFFIX AFTER THE MASTER NUMBER INTHE TRAIL OFF. LATER ISSUES OF THIS SINGLE HAVE A "-2", OR"-3" AND SO ON, AND ARE FROM MUCH LATER 1963, AND NOT THE FEBRUARYVERY FIRST ISSUE PRESSING AS THIS EXAMPLE BEING OFFERED HERE. REPORTEDLY, LESSTHAN 200 OF THIS VERY FIRST ISSUE VERSION WERE EVER DISTRIBUTED.
TRAIL OFF AREA NUMBERS ON SIDE ONE ARE "7XCE 17144" AND SIDE TWOARE "7XCE 17145". NO SUFFIX TO EITHER NUMBER (CAPITOL OF CANADA72076). THE A-SIDE PUBLISHING IS CREDITED TO "ARDMORE &BEECHWOOD".
