Value :
(of this version)		 £12 (as at Feb.2000) ... (two versions of this one)
Detail : The twenty-second official release.
The last "official" release. Although there are future Beatles singles, these are mostly EMI marketing ploys.
This is considered the last single sanctioned by all four Beatles.
First pressings obviously come with the picture cover, and another clue is the matrix number on the B-side. If yours has "APPLES 1002" typed over with little x's (eg, obliterated), then this is a genuine first issue. Subsequent pressings only had the matrix number 7YCE 21408-10.

And finally, the picture disc version released in England as part of the,
"It Was Twenty Years Ago" series, on 5th March 1990 ... The last of the series.
