She Loves You
b/w 
I’ll Get You
Swan 4152, September 1963

DARK RED TITLES, OSC
(SWAN 4152.01B, Spizer)


(ACTUAL SCAN)

Because She Loves You did not sell well upon its initial release, the original
White Label Swan pressings of the disc from 1963 are VERY RARE and highly collectible.
Dealers and Collectors are beginning to realize that the original 1963 White Label
pressings of She Loves You are EXTREMELY RARE.
In addition, the early 1964 pressing, of the
White Label with BLUE print variation is also scarce. (see that item below).

This is the ORIGINAL, WEST COAST FIRST ISSUE and initial Swan pressing
from Mid-September 1963. 
This 45 was pressed and manufactured by Monarch Records in Los Angeles,
and have the song titles and the group's name loosely spaced and in dark red print.
The discs have a circled MR and hand etched job numbers
(
r49544 on the A side and r49545 on the B side)
in the trail off areas and are styrene pressings.

There is a small ink "STAR" stamp on the B side Label. This was common practice in the
early 1960s by the Disk-Jockey, signifying what side goes down onto the turntable,
thus adding to this example's originality :


(ACTUAL SCAN)

The Labels (NM-) have minimal wear on both sides and still retains it's glossy white sheen.
This record has been well preserved and the vinyl itself has had very minimal play, and
grades at a solid Near Mint Minus !!!
