The Beatles - A HARD DAY'S NIGHT- MONO VINYL LP - PMC 1230.
Below I have compiled two video's containing each side of the vinyl, converted from this auctioned record into mp3 from a Sony PSLX 300 and without any kind of third party software manipulation. As each side plays, there are plenty more images of each segment of the LP record's condition by sight. I have done some research into what is expected from a genuine explanation or description of a record and will use this to ensure their is as much clearness as possible I shall use a grading system tool according to Ebay's "Vinyl Grading Record Guide" plus what is a clear view of what you are paying for.

Excellent "Patents Pending" Garrod & Lofthouse Trifold Sleeve Excellent Inner Sleeve Excellent Vinyl with "Sold in the UK" on Yellow & Black Parlophone Labels Excellent+ sound playback with light crackle in-between tracks and on beginning/end groove.

This is the 1964 Mono Vinyl LP by The Beatles called "A Hard Day's Night" with PMC 1230 yellow & black stamped parlophone labels. The codes on the record by the edge of the label are "XEX 481-3N" and "XEX 482-3N".
The excellent record is very shiny with very few marks or scratches on both sides, it sounds great too, just listen, it has only light crackle at the beginning and in-between each song until this light crackle soon dissipates when each song starts, even "If  I Fell" with its light introduction has very liitle crackle.
The pronounced Yellow and Black Parlophone record company labels are excellent with clear typing to all song credits, the KT tax code is embossed in the central area of side 1 label and Sold in the UK....credits on both sides. There are small marks and fading around the centre hole on both sides. 
The excellent inner sleeve as no split seams nor yellowing, it is great, light creases only.
The excellent Garrod and Lofthouse (G&L) Tri-fold Patents Pending pictured sleeve is marvellous because it's shape is great and the artwork is also. The front displays an excellent laminate with a few light creases and corner wear around the outer margins  The spine is sharp without any noticable compression, it has near perfect typing which displays the Artist, Title and Catalogue number on a stunning white laminate with only a few light creases and light corner wear.  The back of the G&L sleeve displays the Patents Pending credits on the bottom right corner, the printed panel has a general whiteness about it but there are a few small areas of discolouring and light and fading, especially around the outer margins.

Any bits of noticable wear are shown in the picture slideshow. I know that I would like my records to get to me safely so i'll make sure they get to you in 1 piece as I will send them pressed in-between cardboard mail boards and then in a strong cardboard envelope.

"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 light distortion or crackles in quieter parts but no major deterioration in sound quality relating to skips or jumps, 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 scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits and discolouration, etc.

FAIR:  The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise. 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."
