Description

The Beatles: A Hard Day's Night (UK 1964 1st Press Vinyl PMC 1230 - 1AY) - VG/VG
Thanks for looking.
I'm selling this for a friend's parents who owned this from new. It's been stored dry, in the dark for a few decades.

I have used the A HARD DAY'S NIGHT / PMC 1230 - UK 60s' MONO VINYL PRESSING GUIDE on Discogs to identify this release.
It matches with the 3 character identifier 1AY which is this one :-
https://www.discogs.com/release/15291585-The-Beatles-A-Hard-Days-Night
It does NOT have the KT tax code on the label on Side 1.
Matrix numbers: Side 1: XEX 481-3N; Side 2: XEX 482-3N.
I used the Discogs/Goldmine Standard to the best of my ability to grade the vinyl and sleeve as described here https://blog.discogs.com/en/how-to-determine-the-condition-of-a-vinyl-record/
The vinyl is flat and heavy. It seems that 180g+ vinyl was more common back then - it's very chunky and solid.
I have play-tested the whole album and was frankly amazed at the quality of vinyl which was manufactured 3 months before I was born. It played right through with only a little surface noise between tracks and no skips or jumps. I couldn't detect much surface noise during the music.
I place the album in a clear plastic sleeve then a LIL Packaging strong cardboard mailer. 
Mailing will be Royal Mail Signed-For 2nd Class.
Please inspect the photos carefully and assess my description to satisfy yourself about condition before bidding and please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank you.
