LABELS
Both labels are Excellent++. No marks or writing. Even spindle marks are almost invisible. Stunning. Very near MINT
VINYL
Visually both sides of this record are stunning. I won't say MINT as this would be practically impossible on a record that is almost 50 years old, bit there isn't a mark on them. Certainly EXCELLENT +. Under strong light, a couple of hairline marks are visible where the record has been taken from it's sleeve.
Record sits flat on the deck, with no warp.
Audio quality is near excellent. Absolutely no sticks or skips. Some background crackle on both run-in's and in the gap between tracks. As soon as the music starts, no background noise is heard. No distortion.
In summary, this is a very very good example of a 1964 1st pressing HARD DAYS NIGHT mono.
If you require any further information or additional photographs, please contact me.
I am a collector not a dealer, and I only sell my Beatles records when I have upgraded them - in this case for a label font variation in an EJ Day sleeve.
