The BEATLES
*A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (Album Extracts)* UK 1st pressing - 1964
*Factory Sample*
Matrix: Side 1: 7TCE 850-1N Stamper code: 1/R Matrix: Side 2: 7TCE 850-1N Stamper code: 1/R
I have collected factory sample/demo discs over the years. I have others listed along with this one, right now.
Audio:
EX+
Could possibly be described as Near Mint, but this has obviously been played and so I have given an EX+ grading. Both sides play with crystal clear sound. There is a single 'pop' on track 1, side 2.
Visually:
EX+
In reflected daylight both surfaces appear near pristine. Obviously there are wispy handling lines under a searchlight beam but it would be hard to find a better looking example.
Labels:
MINT-
There are no spindle trails but there is a single line on side I, which could be a paper crease or a trail, not sure. Side one displays a genuine 'Factory Sample' sticker.
Sleeve:
EX+
Near perfect original first issue. There is a laminate wrinkle across Ringo's head but this is in a strange place, so I feel it might be a manufacturing defect. Back panel is in great condition with a bit of tape residue, again, in a strange place.
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
