THE BEATLES
'A HARD DAY'S NIGHT'
1964 UK 1st PRESSING **STEREO** LP
**NEAR MINT**
This variant pressing has a 'dot' after the catalogue number on each label.
This rare 1964 first stereo pressing is on the UK black & yellow Parlophone label: PCS. 3058
Both labels carry the 'Sold in UK..' and 'Recording First Published..' texts with 'Parlophone Co Ltd...' rims.
The 'KT' tax/price code is visible in the centre of the side 2 label.
Housed in the correct front laminated, 'tri-flipback' Garrod & Lofthouse 'mid-sized' stereo logo cover.
Complete with its original lined 'Use Emitex' inner-sleeve (small number written in the upper left corner).
Matrix numbers: YEX 126-1 & YEX 127-1
Stamper numbers: 2/AL & 3/RD
Labels: EXCELLENT
Slight 'bag rash' to the labels as a result of long-term storage, but no other faults.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine bright and glossy surfaces displaying just a few barely visible sleeve removal hairlines directly under a halogen desk lamp.
Clearly played just a few times, there are no scuffs or scratches on either side or any other signs of visible wear.
Pressed on thick, quality vinyl with sharp edges and 100% flat on the turntable without dishing or warping.
Audio: NEAR MINT
Hard to describe anything played as 'Mint' but this is as close as you can get to the way it sounded the day it left the shop.
Both run-ins and all bands are silent and all the music is warm, loud and clear with no trace of crackle or groovewear (even on the opening chord!).
There is absolutely no distortion in either channel on any track and no clicks, pops, hiss, jumps or repeats anywhere.
Cover: VERY GOOD PLUS
Very clean with an unscratched high-gloss laminate bearing a few spine wrinkles, 2 small 'thumbnails' and one larger crease to the upper right area.
The corners display some light storagewear but are unbumped while the opening edges display light handling wear only.
The rear panel is clean, bright and white with no discolouration, marks or writing.
The 'flipbacks', seams and spine are all in intact and undamaged with no splits or stress.
Strict visual & audible gradings under intense direct light & at volume on high-end audio equipment
