NOTES
The first Beatles album that featured all original, own compositions as a beautiful first press! It's Label Variation A (where the line Songs from the film A Hard Day’s Night is not printed a lill wider on the label than on variation B).
KT Tax Stamp sits on Side A. Record comes complete with original "USE EMITEX" Parlophone inner sleeve. The records sound quality is a highlight and ranks near mint/minus. You are bidding on an indeed very nice, clean copy.
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).
Please see grading details for a more elaborate description of the record's condition.
IMPORTANT NOTE for GERMAN BIDDERS: Please constact us before bidding, for otherwise we will remove your bid without prior notice. This is in view of constantly recurring problems, often caused by language. It's NOT an offense. Collectors want harmony and consensus, not trouble.

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, which is then being properly sealed with water-resistant tape.
(PLEASE NOTE that pictured record is an EXAMPLE only. It is NOT the item up for auction. Thank you.) Record Grading

original "USE EMITEX" Parlophone Label Side A VG+ Label Side B VG+ Vinyl Side A VG+ Vinyl Side B EX- Audio Grading Side A NM- Side B NM- We use superb vinyl equipment with its heart being an Ortofan Diamond System and gold plated contacts all around.
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 perfect shape.
Laminated front is completely glossy. Backside something yellows. Edge wear. Vinyl is shiny. A side has three longer, obvious lines, which do not affect sound quality.
Great labels, no writings, spots, or tears, gradable at least VG+ - see pictures.
Regarding audio, plays perfectly thru, no jumps, or skips. Very few noise between tracks, a clear near mint minus.
Please keep in mind that an opinion is bound to be subjective. Refer to pictures, provided extensively.
