Description

THE BEATLES

"A HARD DAY'S NIGHT"

PMC 1230

BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE

THERE IS SOME RARITY TO THIS PRESSING BEING A SECOND VARIATION OF THE SECOND PRESSING FROM 1966

THE TRACK LISTING TITLES ARE IN ROMAN / SERIF TEXT AND THERE ARE NO PERIODS AFTER EACH TRACK (FULL STOPS )

ON SIDE 1 THE SHORTEST TRACK "IF I FELL" HAS A COMPLETE LINE TO ITSELF ,APPARENTLY THIS WAS DONE FOR BETTER BALANCE TO THE TYPESET LAYOUT AND SIDE 2 HAS ALL SIX TRACKS OVER THREE LINES, AGAIN TO SHOW A  BALANCED  LAYOUT

 

OVERALL THE LABEL LAYOUT LOOKS EXCELLENT , THE TEXT DOES LOOK BETTER AND EASIER TO READ

UNFORTUNATELY AFTER A SHORT RUN WITH THIS LAYOUT THE PRINTERS HAD TO REVERT TO THE ORIGINAL TEXT 

THIS TYPE OF LAYOUT WAS USED ON JUST TWO OTHER LATER PRESSING BLACK AND YELLOW LABEL BEATLES ALBUMS 'RUBBER SOUL' AND 'REVOLVER' FOR A SIMILAR SHORT TIME

STAMPERS         7    ATD     4    AAPA ( FOUR LETTERS VERY UNUSUAL)

MATRICES              -3N             -3N

KT TAX CODE SIDE 2 CENTRE

 

"THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD" RIM TEXT WITH "SOLD IN THE UK" WITHOUT "RECORDING 1st PUBLISHED 1964"

VINYL RECORD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION GLOSSY  SURFACES WITH CLEAN LABELS (ONE TINY BARELY IMPERCEPTIBLE  MARK ON SIDE 2 IN THE BLACK AREA VERY HARD TO SEE IN THE PICS) AND AN UNWORN CENTRE HOLE ,JUST THE ODD VERY LIGHT HANDLING MARK NOTHING FEELABLE OR THAT AFFECTS THE AUDIO AND JUST VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS CONFINED TO THE RECORD CENTRES

THE 'KT' TAX CODE EMBOSSED ON THE LABEL IS A HIGHT POINT AND USUALLY WEARS AWAY FIRST, IN THIS CASE THERE IS NO WEAR SHOWING AT ALL AND IT IS STILL BLACK IN COLOUR

THE RECORD SLEEVE IS IN REALLY NICE CONDITION FOR ITS AGE, SOME LIGHT EDGE CREASING WITH AN UNCRUSHED SPINE AND A CLEAN WHITE REAR INNER PANEL WHICH HAS THE DATE 1966 HAND WRITTEN ON IT WHICH THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS PRINTED ON AQUISITION OF THE RECORD

THERE IS HOWEVER SOME LIGHT DAMAGE TOP RIGHT FRONT ABOVE THE 'MONO' LOGO BUT IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE TEXT

THIS COPY CAME WITH AN EMITEX TISSUE LINED INNER WHICH IS IN CLEAN CONDITION WITH JUST A LITTLE AGE FADING TO THE EDGES

 

A TEST PLAY WAS EXCELLENT WITH QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES AND CLEAN AND CLEAR AUDIO
