Incredibly rare 45 RPM EP pressed at the Monarch plant in Hollywood, CA with the 1st United Artists picture sleeve, known as "red", released by UA in late June or early July of 1964. The first EP of the original motion picture sound track "A Hard Day's Night" with the "And I Love Her" and "Ringo's Theme (This Boy)" singles. The design of this one of the rarest picture sleeves was based on the cover of LP album, containing the four photos of the Beatles, a red background and black and white text at the top on the front and nine photos on the back out of fifteen present on the LP. Ultra rare original 1st print United Artists black labels. Unlike the other copies of this release, the labels of this copy contain the non-abbreviated "Orchestra".

The full matrix numbers are as follows: ZTSP - 92804-1J △53312 / ZTSP-92805-1(A)J △53312 X. Final upgrade copy in stunning condition.

The red picture sleeve is in great Excellent condition only having some super light shelf wear along the top edges. Otherwise, the sleeve would be Near Mint Minus. I grade the shiny glossy vinyl as Near Mint Minus as it has only a couple of small super light scuffs from the sleeve. The record sounds outstanding with a punchy, vivid and crystal clear sound.
