Description
A nice, respectable, original, 1964, mono, reel to reel tape copy of The Beatles album, "A Hard Day's Night". Plays perfectly throughout. NO fade outs, edits, drop outs or sound breaks. Released at the same time as the vinyl album in 1964. Intact "Emitape" tape spool with NO cracks/chips etc. White printed Part 1 leader tape and red, printed, Part 2 trailing leader tape.
The all important two track tape is in perfect sound throughout. Played on my Sharp RD - 708V four track recorder. (Two track tapes can be played on four track tape recorders).
The retailer's 35/- (35 shillings - "old" money) handwritten mark is on the box lid side.
Few of the reel to reel Beatles albums were sold in comparison to the vinyl album, as they appealed to the discerning audiophile wanting top quality sound on quarter inch tape, running at a fast 3&3/4 inches per second. They often had to be purchased by special order from the retailer, as only some stocked them. It is a pleasure to listen to - without the usual scratches, pops and hisses of the vinyl version.
