**152g**


This Lp was released on the 10th July 1964. The 45rpm was released in April and at that time the Beatles' film had yet to get a title and as the story goes, Ringo emerged from a long days work saying "It's been a hard day," then seeing it was already dark added " 's night." This was then announced to the press as the title on the 17th of April. Ringo may have seen this phrase before in Lennons book "Sad Michael."
Holding a number 1 postition for a huge 21 weeks, from July the 25th!!!
This is also the ONLY Beatles album to have every track written by Lennon/McCartney.

Vinyl:
HEAVYWEIGHT QUALITY 152g
VG+!
 Lovely heavy vinyl with a gorgeous sheen. There are just a few  light and fine marks which do not affect playback.
The sound reproduction remains wonderfully rich and clear.
I have just listened to the whole album and had a blast! VERY occasional, minimal background noise...the album sounded great throughout!
The run ins and outs are lovely and quiet..
Only ever very carefully played.
 Very nice indeed.
Flat Flat, FLAT!
Shiny too
HEAVY


Labels:
EX-.
 Lovely and clear but they do have some light blooming to them.
Very little central hole wear and only very light spindle marks-noticeable only when angled towards the light.
They are the very 1st print labels of this album-with the slim text.

 Outer text "The Parlophone Co. LTD" (ONLY 1st Press have this) it DOES have the "Sold in the uk.." text.

Would frame incredibly well.



 Cover:
EX-
 Solid, mid-sized mono in top right corner. Shiny front cover...With just 6 or 7 small crescents of spidering as well as a few very small fingers of spidering eminating from the seams to the front laminted cover.
Still has a gloriously clean card backing with barely ANY discolouration...It carries the original price, written in light pencil to the top right (this could easily be rubbed off if you wanted to).
The corners just have very light rubbing-I am being rather critical.
The Garrod and Lofthouse flipbacks are in wonderfully strong condition.
STRONG, UNCRUSHED & LEGIBLE spine.
NO rips or tears!!
Has "Patents pending" to back bottom right corner flipback.

WONDERFUL COVER



Inner:
VG+
 It is the original "USE EMITEX" tracing paper lined inner.
In great condition, but does carry a small 5cm split to the bottom seam..
She has certainly done her job in looking after the lovely slab of vinyl!
