Description
THE BEATLES - 'A HARD DAY'S NIGHT'
In October 1969 EMI introduced this new '1-EMI-box' design label to replace the yellow & black design which had been employed since April 1963. Most utilized the same matrices with the original 'tube-cut' mixes/masters as the 1st pressing and are their equal in sound quality..
This NEAR MINT stereo pressing dates from October 1969 and is on the '1-EMI Box' EMI/Parlophone label: PCS 3058
Both labels carry the 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd..' & 'Made In Gt. Britain' rim texts.
Matrix numbers: YEX 126-1 & YEX 127-1 (the same as the 1964 1st pressing)
Stamper codes: 3,4/LP & 2/PT
Vinyl weight: 141g
Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover without a stereo front indicator.
Complete with its original red & white EMI advertising inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb set with just a small handful of barely visible spindle trails or marks around each completely unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine, deep-gloss playing surface which are unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight and reveal nothing more than a small number is wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.
Play: NEAR MINT
This copy has received just a few careful plays on high-end equipment only and my careful single play-check confirms the sound to be flawless and fabulous throughout.
Cover
EXCELLENT -
A respectable example which bears some light handling & age wear but no significant or major faults throughout.
