Description
THE BEATLES A Hard Day's Night Parlophone (UK) PMC 1230
This is a stone original 1964 UK Parlophone pressing of The Beatles 3rd lp, "A Hard Day's Night". Features all of the songs from the movie (on Side 1) and 7 other tracks of that era on Side 2. The first Beatles lp to feature all tracks composed by the band.
Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has XEX-481-3N matrix stamped on Side 1 with 3 MG stampers. Side 2 has XEX-482-3N stamped on Side 2 with 5 PH stampers. Original 1964 Parlophone mono UK press.
Vinyl Visual Grade: NM with minimal marking. Has VERY FEW spindle marks on labels, maybe 3 or 4 plays at most. Could probably use a cleaning to remove dust. Side 2 has K T tax letters on either side of spindle hole.
Vinyl Play Grade: NM with AS NEW fidelity on the music and some noise on lead-in/between tracks (as most UK Parlophone pressings did, especially as press runs went on). Probably as good a play of this release as you will find.
Cover Visual Grade: VG+ on this delicate flipback Ernest J. Day UK front-laminated cover. No ring/rubbing wear. Spine and seams are very nice, indeed. Some VERY SLIGHT laminate lifting here and there but no big deal. Has a very slight warp which could be easily straightened out. SHOWS VERY NICE.
Inner sleeve is original Emitex rice plastic lined printed paper inner which is in very nice shape. LP will be housed in a heavy plastic Audiophile style inner
Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.
ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.
ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:
M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.
NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.
VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.
VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.
G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.
I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.
ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.
I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS.
SHIPPING FEES:
Shipping will be $10 U.S. for anywhere in the U.S. as long as the weight is under 500 grams after packaging.
ON PACKAGES OVER 500g, PLEASE WAIT FOR PROPER INVOICE. MOST LPS CAN BE SHIPPED AS UNDER 500 GRAMS.
Other countries (including Canada), please refer to the Canada Post rates which should be available on the ebay shipping details within the listing.
Returns accepted within 14 days (and with good reason).
I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
