A HARD DAY'S NIGHT

MONO

THIS IS ANOTHER BEATLES CLASSIC AND THEIR THIRD RELEASED ALBUM, AND IT COMES FROM MY VINYL VAULT COLLECTION. VERY UNUSUAL AS THIS WAS RELEASED IN 1964, BUT HAS 'MT' LABEL TAX STAMP, WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW, ALTHOUGH THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH AMAZING, WITH CLEAR CLARITY MONO AUDIO, THERE ARE A LOT OF COSMETICS, BUT IF YOU ARE OK WITH THIS, THEN YOU WILL GET THIS CLASSIC WITH BRILLIANT AUDIO THAT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT !!! 

THIS IS A VERY EARLY PRESS WITH 'MT' TAX STAMP ON THE LABEL WHICH MEANS IT WAS PRESSED BETWEEN JANUARY 1st 1963 AND JUNE 30th 1963 !!! THIS IS REALLY DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AS IT WAS NOT RELEASED UNTIL 1964. YOU CAN TELL IT IS AN EARLY PRESS, AS IT HAS DEEPER SOUND TO THE AUDIO !!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1963 UK 1ST PRESS :: XEX 481-3N  ::  XEX 482-3N .

ON THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABEL :: PMC 1230.

THANK YOU !!!

COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE Ltd, PATENTS PENDING, AND FOR A CHANGE HAS NO WRITING ON THE BACK. THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE IN GREAT CONDITION, WITH NO RUB OR WEAR AND JUST A SMALL RUB ON EACH CORNER. THE LAMINATE HAS NO LIFT AND HAS JUST SOME TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THERE IS A TINY TEAR ON THE OPENING EDGE ON THE FRONT, AND A LARGER ONE ON THE BACK WHICH HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY CELLO TAPE ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) ALL THE FLIPBACKS ARE SECURE AND IN LOVELY CONDITION, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  ::  VG+ . 

VINYL :: THERE ARE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS, AND IN FACT NO TICKS, CLICKS, OR LOUD POPS ON THE AUDIO !! I COULD GO ON ALL DAY ABOUT HOW GOOD THE AUDIO IS, AS IT REALLY HAS A SHARPER MORE DEEPER CLARITY TO THE AUDIO !!! ALL I HEARD WAS A BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND 2, TWO LIGHT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 3 AND 4, AND FOUR LIGHT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 6 AND 7. THESE ARE BETWEEN TRACKS SO NOT ON THE ACTUAL AUDIO. SIDE 2  PLAYS FANTASTIC WITH NOTHING TO REPORT !!! I DID THE AUDIO FIRST AS WHEN YOU READ THE VISUAL DESCRIPTION, IT DOES SOUND PRETTY BAD, BUT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE LOTS OF COSMETIC, SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF FAINT COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND SOME SMALL THIN COSMETIC SCUFFS. THERE IS ALSO A MORE NOTICEABLE NEEDLE LINE ON THE FIRST FIVE TRACKS ON SIDE 1, WHERE IT IS SLIGHTLY FEELABLE ON THE FIRST FOUR TRACKS. AS EARLY PARLOPHONE ALBUMS WERE PRESSED ON THICKER AND BETTER VINYL, LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING, AS THIS IS THE CASE WITH THIS VINYL. IF YOU ARE PUT OFF BY THE VISUAL DESCRIPTION THEN THAT IS FINE, BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU, THAT IF THE VISUAL DOES NOT BOTHER YOU, THEN YOU WILL GET ON HELL OF A VINYL TO PLAY !!!! SO WITH THIS IN MIND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+  . AND IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE TINY BITS BETWEEN THE TRACKS AS MENTIONED ABOVE THE AUDIO WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY EX+/NEAR MINT !!!

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, BUT HAS TWO FAINT NAMES ON LABEL 1, AND WITH  'MT' TAX STAMP ALSO ON LABEL 1, AND ONLY A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES :: VG+/EX- .

POLYLINED INNER :: NO SPLITS, OR WRITING, JUST SOME CREASING ON BOTTOM CORNERS AND SOME LIGHT AGEING  ::  VG/VG+ .

AS YOU CAN SEE THE AUDIO PLAYS AMAZING AND AGAIN I CAN NOT PRAISE IT ENOUGH. THE COVER IS NICE BUT HAS THAT REPAIRED TEAR ON THE OPENING EDGE, AND THERE ARE THOSE VISUAL MARKS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, BUT REALLY IT IS ALL ABOUT THE AUDIO, AND IF THAT IS ALL YOU WANT, THEN YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY !!!!!!  THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
