The Beatles
A Hard Day's Night
With MT Tax code
A solid VG
!!156g!!


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.

Catalogue number: PMC 1230

Vinyl:
QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT 156g!!
VG. Lovely heavy vinyl with a gorgeous sheen.
I see many light marks, but found the sound reproduction remaining solid throughout.
NO SKIPS OR JUMPS ON MY FOCUS ONE DECK
I have just listened to the whole album and didn't find any less enjoyment in playback, VERY LITTLE background noise-a gentle professional clean will improve her further.
 Very nice indeed.
Flat Flat, FLAT!
Shiny too
HEAVY


Labels: VG. Lovely and clear. Spindle marks, visible when angled towards the light, with some 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 1.
******************
(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 mono in top right corner. Shiny front cover...She does carry small crescents of spidering to the front laminted cover-near the opening, as well as some small fingers of spidering eminating from the seams and spine.

Slightly discolored white card backing-as can be seen in the images provided.
NO WRITING
STRONG & SOLID CORNERS
