The Beatles
A Hard Day's Night
With MT Tax code
!!151g!!
*EASY VG+ THROUGHOUT*

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.

LOVELY EARLY PRESSING HERE


Vinyl:
QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT 151g!!
VG+.
 Lovely heavy vinyl with a nice sheen.
There are only a few very light marks and some light residue from being kept in a poly-lining for all these years..I found the sound reproduction REALLY CLEAN AND CLEAR throughout.
I have just listened to the whole album and found the very occasional soft pop, but other than that-she provided a powerful audio reproduction with barely any background noise...Have a listen to the clip above and hear for yourselves...
Flat Flat, FLAT!
HEAVY


Labels:
EX.
 As you can see in the detailed images provided, the labels are in GREAT condition-There are only a handful of incredibly light spindle marks with near ZERO central hole wear.
Please see the detailed pictures.


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

 "MT" tax code side 2.
******************
(This is an unusual tax code for this lp as the MT tax code was used from January 1963 only until the 1st of June 1963...a very short running indeed and as this record was released in November 1963 it is a very unusual label indeed!)
********************
WOULD FRAME  WELL


 Cover:
VG+.
Solid, small-sized mono in top right corner. Shiny front cover...She only carries a few small fingers of spidering to the front laminted cover-with a couple of small lines eminating from the seams and spine, with around 6 small crescents of spidering near the opening.
LOVELY
The backcard has stayed lovely and white, with just minimal, faint discolouration.
STRONG , SOLID CORNERS with just very light knocking.
The Garrod and Lofthouse flipbacks are in wonderfully strong condition.
STRONG, UNCRUSHED & LEGIBLE spine.
