Description
Here we have an Excellent copy of A Hard Day's Night which I have verified as being a first press by reference to 'The Beatles Collection':
1. First pressing. July 10, 1964. Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Parlophone Co. Ltd.” printed at the start perimeter print. “Recording first published 1964?and “Sold in U.K. subject…” text. Label have thin print. With or without KT tax code on the label. Matrix numbers: Side 1: XEX 481-3N; Side 2: XEX 482-3N.
This record has been in my personal collection for the last 55 years(!) please note that I am not a dealer; I'm just clearing out ** years worth of records and CDs. This record has been well played, but only ever on half-decent equipment; there are a couple (and I mean a couple) of superficial marks on the playing surface that do not detract from the sound quality. I will 'knosti' it before despatch and half expect them to disappear.
The sleeve was printed by Garrod and Lofthouse and I think you can pick everything else up from the photos - but please don't hesitate to ask questions or call for more pictures. This a genuine lot and it's here to be sold.
Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
