Description

The much sought after FIRST pressing of The Beatles' classic album A Hard Day's Night!

First press identifiers:

Label:

1 - Has a 'chubby' font with the right-hand side indicator numerals appearing under the '2' in the catalogue number 'PMC 1230' above them.

2 - The publishing copyright date is given as 'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964', and is nearly left-aligned compared to the matrix number above it.

3 - The group's name 'THE BEATLES' is closer to the 'Northern Songs Music Ltd.' publishing credit below it than the '(Lennon-McCartney)' credit above it. There exists a very similar version with this text placed differently - A Hard Day's Night.

4 - A2 'I Should Have Known Better' has its title split over 2 lines.

5 - All of the song titles on side 2 appear on separate lines.

6 - The KT purchase tax code embossing on the label on either side of the spindle hole. A similar variant has the code MT.

Cover:

1 - Front laminated, tri-flipback and printed by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd., with a medium 'MONO' indicator on the front, top, right hand corner.
