Description
PLEASE READ FIRST!
I'm having to make this even clearer as people are still buying records I'm grading low and as a 'collection filler', and then complain about the audio quality when they try to play them. As I do not own a record player I VISUALLY GRADE my records, so I cannotguarantee that discs will be click, skip and noise free (although any marks that may cause such problems will be highlighted in the description).
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
THE BEATLES
A Hard Day's Night
RARE STEREO 2nd Press with 'Sold in UK' Statement and 'Gramophone Rimtext!
This listing is for a very rare stereo 2nd press copy of the Beatles LP 'A Hard Day's Night'.
This copy is on the Parlophone label and features the 'Sold in UK' statement and Gramophone rimtext.
The original black EMI advertising inner is included and dates this particular to around 1966. At this time mono was very much still the dominant format and so stereo copies sold much more poorly in comparison. Today it is very difficult to find any original stereo copies, especially of their earlier albums.
A nice example of this hard to find record!
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.
Title A Hard Day's Night Year of Release 1966? Catalogue Number PCS 3058 Label Parlophone with 'Gramo' rimtext, and 'Sold in UK' statement. Tax Code on Disc - Sleeve Manufacturer Garrod and Lofthouse Side 1 Matrix Number YEX 126-1 Side 2 Matrix Number YEX 127-1 Side 1 Stampers 3 4 / PG Side 2 Stampers 2 / MD Sleeve Condition The sleeve is in EX condition. The sleeve is holding up really, really nicely and is looking very clean for its age! The front has a nice, clean laminate with minimal rubbing and just a little creasing and wear around the edges. All seams are holding perfectly with no wear or splits. The back is looking really clean - remarkable for a sleeve thats 54 years old! There is a little waving at the bottom right which gives the impression that this area may have gotten a little damp at some point. Inner Sleeve Condition The inner sleeve is in VG+ condition. The original black EMI advertising inner sleeve is included and is looking very clean and flat with just minimal disc impression. One of the sides has started to split a little in the middle, which has brought the overall grade down. Inserts Condition - Disc Condition(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in EX- condition. The disc has a wonderfully clean shine to it and just a little scuffing - nothing at all nasty or serious looking. Really nice, clean condition! Label Condition The labels are in NM- condition. The labels are looking exceptional and clean with just a tiny amount of light spindlewear and pretty much no whitening around the centrehole. Top labels!
All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.

My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.On 12-Nov-18 at 09:23:45 GMT, seller added the following information: My apologies - the images have stretched awfully and I have no way to correct them, so here are the images again.
