THE BEATLES
"A HARD DAYS NIGHT" PARLOPHONE PCS 3058 STEREO PRESSING
RELEASED IN 1969 THIS IS THE VERY LAST OF THE SIXTIES PRESSINGS OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM
"GRAMOPHONE CO LTD" AND "MADE IN GT BRITAIN" RIM TEXT WITH ONE EMI BOXED LOGO AT THE BASE OF THE LABEL STAMPERS 3/4 MH 2/1 GA MATRICES -1 -1
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED FRONT AND FOLDOVER SEAMS SLEEVE IS THE STANDARD PRINTED COPY USED THROUGH THE 1960's FOR THIS PRESSING WITH MINOR TYPE SET CHANGES (THIS COPY HAS NO STEREO DESIGNATION ON THE FRONT AS BY THIS TIME EMI HAD ELIMINATED MONO PRESSINGS ) ALSO STILL PRINTED AS PATENTS PENDING AND CARRYING BOTH THE MONO AND STEREO CATALOGUE NUMBERS ON THE BOTTOM SEAM
SLEEVE IS IN CLEAN LEGIBLE CONDITION BUT DOES HAVE CREASING ON THE FRONT SEAM EDGES AND MORE PRONOUNCED ACROSS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER ,THE REAR WHITE INNER PANEL IS IN CLEAN CONDITION AND THE SEAM FOLDOVERS ARE COMPLETE, A PREVIOUS OWNER HAS FOR SOME REASON PUT SMALL TICKS NEXT TO SOME OF THE TRACK LISTINGS
ADVERTISING INNER IS CLEAN AND LEGIBLE AND WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE ONE BOX PRESSINGS
VINYL RECORD HAS A DEEP GLOSSY FINISH TO THE SURFACES AND SIDE 1 DOES HAVE SOME LIGHT HANDLING MARKS AND A SLIGHTLY MORE VISIBLE WHICH DIDN'T APPEAR FEELABLE AND SIDE TWO HAS A COUPLE OF SIMILAR MARKS ONE OF WHICH IS JUST ABOUT FEELABLE BUT IT IS ACROSS JUST ONE TRACK AND IT DIDN'T SEEM TO AFFECT THE AUDIO WHEN WE PLAYED OVER THEM ( WE TESTED A COUPLE OF TIMES) PRISTINE CLEAN LABELS AND CENTRE HOLE IS UNWORN AND ITS REALLY HARD TO MAKE OUT ANY SPINDLE MARKS ( THE MARKS ON THE VINYL WOULD APPEAR TO HAVE COME FROM MISHANDLING ERRORS RATHER THAN OVER USE)
A TEST PLAY OF THE VINYL PRODUCED QUIET RUN INS WITH JUST THE ODD LIGHT POP IN THE QUIET MOMENTS AND OVERALL THROUGH OUR HI-FI SYSTEM THE AUDIO WAS GREAT TO LISTEN TO
WE PLAY TEST ON A SIXTIES HI FI FOR REVIEW AND CAN ONLY REPORT WHAT WE EXPERIENCE PLEASE REMEMBER THIS RECORDING IS NOW 54 YEARS OLD AND A MORE MODERN SYSTEM CAN GIVE A DIFFERENT RESPONSE
