Description
THE BEATLES "HARD DAY'S NIGHT" PARLOPHONE PMC 1230 STAMPER NUMBERS 3 MDL 3 ALR MATRICES XEX 481-3N XEX 482-3N
RARE 1969 MONO PRESSING WITH "THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD" RIM TEXT WITH NO "SOLD IN THE UK" LABEL TEXT
BY THIS TIME IN 1969 STEREO PRESSING ALBUMS WERE IN THE ASCENDANCY AND FIRST CHOICE FOR MOST RECORD BUYERS MONO SALES WERE MUCH LOWER AT THE TIME HENCE THE RARITY OF THESE LATER MONO PRESSINGS STILL HOUSED IN A "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING" LAMINATED SLEEVE WITH SIMILAR LAMINATED FOLDOVER SEAMS AND A SMALL "MONO" ON THE FRONT COVER
COMES WITH AN ADVERTISING OR PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE
THE VINYL DISC ON THIS COPY HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED ( LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE) BUT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL LOOKED AFTER ,THERE IS VERY LITTLE WEAR TO THE CENTRE HOLE AND IT HASN'T BEEN RETOUCHED IN ANY WAY.
BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS RECORD ARE IN BEAUTIFUL CLEAN CONDITION AND FREE FROM ANY WRITING OR STAINING
THE VINYL SURFACES RETAIN A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN WITH SOME LIMITED HANDLING MARKS ( ONLY REALLY VISIBLE UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT) ,BUT HAVING TEST PLAYED THE RECORD ON A 1960's HI-FI I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE AUDIO IS FIRST CLASS
DISC COMES IN A PLAIN WHITE INNER AVAILABLE AT THE TIME AND IS IN BRIGHT CLEAN CONDITION
THE G & L PATENTS PENDING LAMINATED RECORD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION ALL TEXT AND IMAGES ARE LEGIBLE AND FREE FROM ANY WRITING OR STAINING AND ALL THREE FOLDOVER SEAMS ARE IN PLACE AND UNDAMAGED
SLEEVE OPENING EDGE IS CLEAN AND SHARP DENOTING LIGHT AND CAREFUL USE
SPINE EDGE IS UNCRUSHED AND STILL HAS ITS PINCHED ENDS AND THE LP TITLE TEXT IS UNMARKED
THERE ARE SOME VERY LIMITED SMALL EDGE CREASE'S BUT NO LAMINATE LIFT AND THE ODD SMALL CORNER BUMP
THERE IS HOWEVER ONE SMALL ISSUE ON THE COVER FRONT WHICH IS A SMALL TEAR FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER UP TO RINGO'S IMAGE WHICH HAS BEEN GLUED AND INTERNALLY TAPED CORRECTLY TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGED ( POSSIBLY SOMEONE HAS CAUGHT THE CORNER ON LIFTING UP THE SLEEVE BUT IS NOT AS DISTRESSING AS IT SOUNDS)
OVERALL A REALLY NICE ALBUM AND AS A MONO PRESSING FROM THIS TIME(1969) QUITE RARE
