I have two copies of "She Loves You" - a third pressing on thick vinyl, other
one pressed on cheap styrene (hard plastic), both black label with silver
text.
Swan was a tiny label that used plants around the country to press the 45 when
demand soared, so there's several label and text variations.
The most valuble Swan 45's are the first pressing from 1963 - its on a white
label with red text - some have "Dont Drop Out", some dont. I saw one of these
at a record store in Oklahoma city in the mid 80's - the guy wanted 70 bucks
for it, its proably worth a lot more now.

In fact I'd rather listen to this 45 than the CD or the horrible "Duophonic"
fake stereo LP version on "Second album". The CD version clearly reveals all
those bad edits!
