The BEATLES
======================================================================
*A HARD DAY'S NIGHT* UK 1st pressing - 1964
================================================================
NO OFFERS PLEASE - AUCTION ONLY
================================================================ I am selling some of my best records, which I have collected over the decades. This one is the cream of the crop! ================================================================
THE DISC
Matrix: Side1: XEX 481-3N Stamper code: 3-RMO Matrix: Side2: XEX 482-3N Stamper code: 2-GMP
AUDIO - NEAR MINT
You will not find a better sounding copy. Plays like a new disc. Crystal clear, undiminished sound quality. Silent run-ins. Just amazing.
VISUALLY - EX+
Both sides are in outstanding condition. Beautiful deep gloss vinyl which looks as good as new. There are just the lightest/wispiest of surface lines visible, which some sellers term as 'bag rash' and this is quite a good way to describe what I see here. There are no visible needle lines on either side. Obviously, under a searchlight there are more wispy handling lines, unavoidable on any vinyl record.
*
The labels display minimal spindle trails, which always suggests careful handling. There are a few small blemishes as well as a noticeable line (next to the stamped K) and three mild indents (next to the stamped T), on side 2, near the hole, which might just be a manufacturing blip (see photos).
=====================================================================================
THE COVER - EX
A solid example. There are no thumb bends near the opening (usually present on most L.P. covers). The unprotected back panel is in amazing condition, perfectly smooth with no disc impression, just age toned. The spine is perfect. The front panel has no laminate lift, just a few corner stress lines and perimeter edge wrinkles. Tri-flips are solid but the top one has a strip of laminate missing from the manufacturing process. You can tell just by looking at the photos, how good this cover is.
=====================================================================================
THE INNER SLEEVE - NEAR MINT
Correct, original 'Patents Applied For', clear polythene inner. Made from extra thick paper, this example is as close to perfect as you could reasonably expect from a paper item.
======================================================================
The photos are of the actual item for sale. All records are thoroughly cleaned and listened to, from beginning to end. Professional mailers are always used.
I will be listing more Beatles records, so please have a look
