THE BEATLES
Title : A Hard Days Night Label : Parlophone Cat No : PMC 1230
Matrix : XEX 481-3N / 482-3N Issue : UK 1st Press
This is the UK 1st press of 'A Hard Days Night' by The Beatles. This scarce 1st press has the earliest bold wide type and the original 'The Parlophone Co Ltd,' 'Recording first published 1964' and 'Sold in UK' label text. It has the polylined Emitex inner sleeve and the earliest original 'patents pending' Garrod & Lofthouse flipback sleeve.
The record is in Very Good+ condition. The vinyl has a sensational lightly played gloss. There is no sign of heavy play, the grooves look hardly touched, there is just one light needle mark on Side 2 and a few wispy hairlines. On playing the sound is extremely rich and warm. It plays through exceptionally well, superb separation and clear from start to finish. We cannot hear the mark except from a couple of brief little clicks. The black and yellow Parlophone label is completely clean. The black is bold, the yellow is bright and the text is sharp. There is only the very slightest spindle wear. The record is complete with its original Emitex inner sleeve.
The flipback sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. The earliest heavy card is solid and the colours are extremely bright. The image is still very sharp. There is the slightest slight edge wear and a couple of small spines creases. The back is clean with a little discolouration. The whole cover is still extremely solid and the spine is firm with clear black text on a clean white background.
