I believe this is a 1st UK pressing according to the usual identifiers , see below. VINYL has 2 or 3 scratches on side 1 causing some clicks and noise between tracks, but only a 1 revolution skip at start of A6. Side 2 has hairlines but nothing serious. XEX 447 -1N   XEX 448 - 1N
Plane white inner.
Labels - see photos
COVER has splits on open edge - see photos. otherwise nice.
The main differentiator of this 1st pressing, compared to later versions, is the black & yellow label with perimeter rim copyright text beginning, 'THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD...', and the text 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963' above the side indicator numeral. There are a number of other differentiators present on both the labels and the cover.
Label:
1 - The title of B1 'Roll Over Beethoven' is indented so that the  'R' is over the 'BI'.
2 - The title of B3 is given as 'You Really Gotta [instead of: 'Got A'] Hold On Me'.
3 - The publishing credit for B7 'Money' is given as 'Dominion.Belinda (Ldn.) Ltd.'.
4 - Theres no MKT purchase tax code embossing on the label on either side of the spindle hole. 

Cover:
1 - Front laminated, tri-flipback and printed by Garrod & Lofthouse ltd
