A Hard Day's Night
RARE: E J Day cover
VG
!!166g!!
1/O   3/L Mothers/Stampers!!

This Lp was released on the 10th July 1964. The 45rpm was released in April and at that time the Beatles' film had yet to get a title and as the story goes, Ringo emerged from a long days work saying "It's been a hard day," then seeing it was already dark added " 's night." This was then announced to the press as the title on the 17th of April. Ringo may have seen this phrase before in Lennons book "Sad Michael."
Holding a number 1 postition for a huge 21 weeks, from July the 25th!!!
This is also the ONLY Beatles album to have every track written by Lennon/McCartney.

Vinyl:
166g QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT  VINYL
VG+.
 Lovely heavy vinyl with a gorgeous sheen. There are only very light marks to both sides....After giving her a gentle vacuum clean, I played her all the way through I found the sound reproduction to be superb! The only background noise I noted were the occasional light pop-noticed inbetween tracks rather than during playback of the tracks.
DEEP RICH BASS
 Very nice indeed.
Flat Flat, FLAT!
Shiny too


Labels:
