Notes

First pressing. July 10, 1964. Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Parlophone Co. Ltd.” printed at the start perimeter print.  “Recording first published 1964? and “Sold in U.K. subject…” text.  Labels have thin print.  With or without KT tax code on the label. 

The title “Songs from the film A Hard Day’s Night” doesn’t take up as much width across the label as before or as it does in future. This variation is placed here as this smaller text may have been an experiment after the chubby text style was changed. This version has a few variants. 

The Vinyl grades as EXCELLENT

 This is a difficult one to grade due to being very Near MINT and unplayed looking for 95% of the vinyl, but one small feel-able spiral scratch on Side 1 at start of track7 " Cant buy me love" which produces a pop,skip When play tested on my Rega system for a few seconds obviously takes this grade down to Excellent ? Apart from this one small blemish this stunning vinyl produces a superb audio experience !!!

No sleeve removal marks or scuffs,  MOST OF SIDE 1, AND All OF  SIDE 2 MINT UNPLAYED LOOKING, superb glossy rainbow finish obviously only been played a ONCE OR TWICE AT MOST ? !!!! STUNNING FOR ITS AGE !!!

labels are Near MINT 

ONLY one spindle line visible again only in light and confirming the one or two plays !!!!!
