Description
Here we go Beatle fans 🎸
On offer here is a first pressing of The Beatles 'A Hard Days Night' Vinyl from 1964.
I've graded this the best I can from being a vinyl collector myself. I'm quite OCD with the vinyl I own, I handle the vinyl with great care and I buy used/new. If I buy a vinyl from new it stays mint.
My description is exactly what I would want to know as a collector if I was buying from ebay. I don't just put Excellent or NM as most vinyl sellers do here. You'll get an accurate description of the audio and the visual.
Pro-ject VC-S3 vacuum cleaned with Pro-Ject Wash it 2 cleaning fluid. The only way I'd recommend cleaning.
SLEEVE: NM
I have no hesitation to grade this sleeve NM!
Both front and back cover very crisp and clean; all edges are in top condition! No split seams, wear or rubbing. The back cover is nice and white with no age related foxing. Beautiful sleeve.
VINYL: VG+
VISUALLY - inspected thoroughly under bright light.
Quite a few harmless sleeve removal marks on both sides, nothing audible. Only very small mark to note is on the track 'If I Fell' towards the end of the song and it sound 6-7 light ticks (please see photo)
Vinyl lays flat and no warping or dishing.
LABELS - thoroughly checked under bright light at an angle.
Both labels are free of any writing or stickers. They both do have quite a few spindle trail lines but nice and clean labels.
AUDIO: VG+/EX-
No loud pops, sticks or skips.
The run-ins into the songs do sound minimal/light static/crackle. When the songs get going they sound great! Like a punchy 1st press should do. Only song to note is 'If I Fell' which has those 6-7 repeat clicks. A couple of tracks do sound very light minimal static/crackle in places but the songs still sound great!
Matrix Numbers:
Side 1: XEX 481-3N
Side 2: XEX 482-3N
INNER SLEEVE:
Sorry, I don't have the original inner sleeve.
Play tested on a PRO-JECT X1 TURNTABLE - CARTRIDGE MM PICK IT S2 1.8g tracking force - CAMBRIDGE CXA81 AMP - PAIR OF WHARFEDALE LINTON SPEAKERS.
Vinyl will be removed from sleeve and original inners; then placed in new polythene inners and sent all together to prevent damage.
Unfortunately I don't accept returns due to the fact people have returned vinyl not in the same condition I've sent it. I'm sorry but the few always spoil it for the rest. It can be a lot of hassle as you can imagine.
I will however accept a return if there's something I've missed off the description and you're unhappy about it.
Any questions please ask
Postage to mainland UK only
Good luck!
