Description
A Hard Day's Night is the third studio album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 10 July 1964, with side one containing songs from the soundtrack to their film A Hard Day's Night. The American version of the album was released two weeks earlier, on 26 June 1964 by United Artists Records, with a different track listing. In contrast to their first two albums, all 13 tracks on A Hard Day's Night were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney showcasing the development of their songwriting talents. The album includes the title track, with its distinct opening chord, and the previously released, "Can't Buy Me Love", both transatlantic #1 singles for the band. According to music critic Richie Unterberger, "George Harrison's resonant 12-string electric guitar leads were hugely influential; the movie helped persuade the Byrds, then folk singers, to plunge all out into rock and roll, and the Beatles would be hugely influential on the folk-rock explosion of 1965. The Beatles' success had begun to open the US market for fellow English bands like the Rolling Stones, the Animals, and the Kinks, and inspired young American groups like the Beau Brummels, Lovin' Spoonful and others to mount a challenge of their own with self-penned material that owed a great debt to Lennon-McCartney. In 2000, Q magazine placed A Hard Day's Night at #5 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2012, A Hard Day's Night was voted 307th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the " 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". The album was included in Robert Dimery's "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die". This is the US Vinyl Stereo Pressing on the United Artists label.
