The Beatles
A Hard Day's Night
(with the much rarer EJ Day cover)
164g

(Professionally cleaned with a Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record Cleaner)

This Lp was released on the 10th July1964. 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:
QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL:164g.
VG(+).
 Lovely heavy vinyl with a gorgeous sheen. There are some light marks, BUT certainly NOTHING TO MAKE HER JUMP OR SKIP-I have just listened to the whole album and didn't find any less enjoyment in the playback, just some occasional and light background noise, that's it!
Side 2, track 1 has a light scuff mark which is lightly audible for three quarters of the track-but not offensive at all.
Very nice indeed....Remains wonderfully clear.
Flat Flat, FLAT!


Labels: VG. There are light spindle marks, visible when angled towards the light, as well as a degree of central hole wear, as can be seen in the detailed images provided...
 Outer text "The Parlophone Co. LTD" (ONLY 1st Press have this) it DOES have the "Sold in the uk.." text.
"Record First Published 1964"
NO WRITING



 Cover: VG.
*It is the rarer E J Day cover...typically manufactured at a ratio of around 10:1 in comparsion to the Garrod & Lofthouse sleeves.
You don't find this very often at all for the Hard Days Night cover!!*
The cover has been used, but loved, with just little fingers of spidering eminating from the seams.
NO SPLITS OR TEARS!!
There is small name tippexed out on the back.
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES FOR YOURSELVES.
Good STRONG & LEGIBLE spine.
Fantastically strong flipbacks too.


Inner:
VG.
It is a period die-cut inner with "Made In England."
Only a small degree of discolouration-that is all.
SUPERB



A very nice example of a classic record, with great audio -NO skips or jumps....
Comes with the MUCH rarer EJ Day cover too!
