NOTES
The first Beatles album that featured all original, own compositions as a beautiful first press! It's the slightly rarer Label Variation B (where the line Songs from the film A Hard Day’s Night is not printed as wide on the label as on common variation A).
KT Tax Stamp sits on Side A. Record's inner sleeve is a "neutral" British "patent" one.
Please note that the American UNITED ARTISTS's release, who also financed the Fab Four's first movie, (U.S., June 26, 1964, UNITED ARTISTS UAL 3366 -mono-, UAS 6366 -stereo-) features some earlier mono-mixes of some of the songs that are not available on the British mono album. Same applies to the American album Something New (U.S. July 20, 1964, Capitol T 2108 -mono-, ST 2108 -stereo-), but not to the very rare German release of Something New (Germany, September 10, 1964, Green Odeon O 83756 -mono-, R/W/G Odeon ST[M]O 83756 -stereo-, EXPORT only). back to TOP
1st Class Packaging
We are Collectors, hence every record is stored (and will be sent) in a sophisticated way. Many experienced collectors were thrilled by our unique, bullet-proof "packing technicque". Original cover, inner sleeve(s), prospective inserts, and/or whatever may come across, are stored separately. The vinyl sits in a neutral antistatic, padded inner sleeve, which is housed in a stable, neutral cardboard cover. Package is protected by one (or more) transparent plastic sleeves. Finally, all items are being wrapped with thick bubble foil and go to a professional record mailer.
(PLEASE NOTE that pictured record is an EXAMPLE only. It is NOT the item up for auction. Thank you.) Record Grading

Audible checks are performed with a Pro-Ject Audio system connected to a DENON PMA 520-AE amplifier, with a Sennheiser 350 headset. Remarks As for the Cover and related issues, please refer to pictures provided right after. Spine is in a perfectly readable shape.
Cover is completely glossy. Name on front, hardly readable, see detail-picture of front side's top. Small cut on rim, hence EX- "only". Vinyl is shiny.
Regarding audio, plays perfectly thru no jumps, skips, disturbing noises, except for audible bg noise at I Want You.
Please keep in mind that an opinion is bound to be subjective. Refer to pictures, provided extensively.
