THE BEATLES – A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (1964)
Original UK First Pressing | Mono | Garrod & Lofthouse Cover
Up for auction is a 100% complete, authentic 1964 UK first-pressing mono copy of The Beatles' historic third studio album, A Hard Day's Night. This is a true first-state run featuring the iconic yellow-and-black Parlophone labels and the highly sought-after early matrix stamps.
Key Identifiers & Matrix Info:
• Catalog Number: PMC 1230
• Matrix Numbers: XEX 481-3N / XEX 482-3N (The earliest true 1st press configuration)
• Label Variation: Original Parlophone yellow & black label text featuring "The Parlophone Co. Ltd." rim text and "Sold in U.K. Subject to Resale Price Conditions".
Condition Breakdown:
• Vinyl (Very Good): The vinyl retains a strong, glossy sheen. It displays light surface hairlines and minor spindle marks consistent with age, but no deep scratches that impede playback. A highly respectable, clean copy that plays beautifully.
• Cover (Very Good): Original Garrod & Lofthouse laminated flipback sleeve. Front laminate remains vibrant with sharp colors. Shows minor, expected wear to the corners and light aging to the unlaminated rear panel. No major seam splits.
• Inner Sleeve (Very Good): Includes the highly rare, original "Use Emitex" poly-lined inner sleeve. Clean with minor corner creasing, entirely solid.
Shipping & Packaging:
The record will be safely removed from its sleeve prior to packing to prevent seam splits during transit. Shipped in a professional, heavy-duty vinyl mailer with cardboard stiffeners.
