THE BEATLES A Hard Day’s Night MONO ALL-ORIGINAL ual 3366 United Artists First US Pressing Release of the Album, in-conjunction with the Beatles Motion-Picture Movie, A Hard Day’s Night. A nice fine copy, I’ve had it in my Personal Collection for years. Vinyl is EX EXCELLENT (almost NM Near Mint) Conservatively Graded. Jacket VG+. Some light marks on the vinyl, but nothing serious. Vintage old thicker vinyl too from the early 1960’s—much better quality vinyl than later records. Never cleaned by me or anything. I must say I am no big-fan of these modern “dipping” or chemical etc. “Professional Cleanings “ and “machines” of Vinyl LP Records. Especially really old, early material like this BEATLES album here. Yeah, I know the records end-up shiny and “lovely” (“SAF”) but I’m not-too-sure about unintended consequences. Such as undue wear and harshness to early vinyl and other materials. Historic Conservationist people have this “mantra “ — “Do No Harm.” I think Doctors too haha! LOL! What this means is you never do anything that cannot be later reversed. So this Album was Kept all-original. Jacket has wear such as ring-wear and the spine is quite worn and split, as you can see in the pictures. Top edge right-half of jacket is split also. Rear bottom-right corner of jacket has “Sue” or something written in a marker. You may decide to make these little repairs to the jacket with glue, etc (such as the spine.) I have left it as-is for years. Comes with a vinyl clear sleeve also, to protect it and prevent further handling damage etc. All-original inner sleeve with “Scepter & Wand” record album offerings from this time—1964.

A real piece of Rock and Roll History. 100% authentic and original FIRST PRESS FIRST RELEASE United States. Definitely “Collector Grade,” not “trashed or junk or anything,” but a nice copy. Not perfect but as I say, Collector-Grade in any case. EX/VG+. I have never had any skips playing it. With MONO, which of course is most-desirable with The BEATLES albums, there will be some surface noise perhaps hissing a bit of cracking etc.—ALL NORMAL for The BEATLES or other very early Mono vinyl records. Has the Song Track “I Cry Instead” (Side One Track #3) which was an early-error and the later corrections said “I’ll Cry Instead.” Back of jacket has the “white framing” around The Boys’ pictures. MATRIX NUMBERS (more complete than in the Item Details Section) : SIDE 1: UAL3366A-1B [then “c?” and “:”?] also 2-3 other tiny symbols / ciphers around the Dead-Wax Ring area; SIDE 2: UAL3366B-1B and again, 2-3 tiny symbols / ciphers, etc., around the Dead-Wax / Run-out Ring Area. The vinyl has nice GLOSS / SHINE, the Labels are correct for the First Press as United Artists Labels with the “circles” at the top, and the BLUE, YELLOW, WHITE and RED “colored circles”. as-well. NOT warped at all, this was a well-cared-for copy.

Priced to sell quickly. For the Serious Collector of The Beatles AND / OR Rock ‘n Roll History. Almost 60 years old, you will NOT be disappointed. I would not offer this if it was not a decent copy worthy of Your Collection. Please check my Feedback. I’d like to THANK ALL PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS at this time. I appreciate the Business. I am a life-long Collector of Vinyl, and I used-to work in the Industry. I know the Labels and Releases well. I’m not positive on this, being-that this BEATLES Album is United Artists Label, but: I believe this was Pressed and Manufactured at Capitol Records, SCRANTON, PA Plant. This old plant (closed around 1981 or so) in Scranton, PA is about one half-hour away from my house. I’ve known family and friends who worked there. Usually the Capitol vinyl found or in Collections around here are Scranton, PA, Pressings. I was myself employed at Specialty Records Corp. I’m nearby Olyphant, Pennsylvania, for many years. If you guys ever have questions on Records please feel-free to message me on eBay. I also am very familiar with CDs, Cassettes, 7” Single 45’s, DVDs etc. I worked with all these Formats. I want to pass-along what knowledge (and a few tales!!) I can. Thanks. See my eBay Profile.
