Description
THE BEATLES - 'A HARD DAY'S NIGHT'
First issued in October 1969, the '1-EMI box' Parlophone label replaced the yellow & black design which had been employed since April 1963. All albums released with this label were cut from the same masters as the 1st pressings and in most cases retain the same matrices. Each was pressed on high-quality virgin vinyl and retain all of the warmth and flawless sound quality of the 1st pressings at a fraction of the cost, making them arguably the best value Beatles vinyl available.
This great sounding copy of 'A Hard Day's Night' is on that same '1-EMI box' EMI/Parlophone label: PCS 3058
Matrix numbers: YEX 126-1 & YEX 127-1 (the same as the 1964 1st pressing)
Stamper codes: 3,5/HT & 2/OD
Vinyl weight: 147g
Housed in a scarce front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover without a stereo front indicator with 'Patent no. 943,895' printed along the lower flipback. 99% of tri-flipback covers say 'Patents Pending'.
Complete with its original red & white EMI advertising inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
Disc

A superb set with just two or three faint spindle trails around each totally unworn centre hole.
