Another from my personal collection of Beatles records, Collected over a period of more than 35 years! I have accumilated more than a 1000 Beatles albums alone (mainly UK pressings)!! This particular 1st UK copy is particularly sought after, very rare to find this album with the E.Day flipback cover, normaly seen with the more common Garrod & Lofthouse cover, even rarer is thre awesome top condition of this cover, a real beauty lovely and clean without splits or tares. The audio is awesome throughout cristal clear and very vibrant without distortion and no loud clicks or pops throughout the audio, just light static ticks in two places that i noticed but nothing too detrimental to the awesome top quality audio which I would grade at least conservatively excellent to excellent plus! !!!!

A HARD DAY'S NIGHT is the third album by the Beatles, released in the UK on 10 July 1964 as the soundtrack to their first film of the same name. The album was released on 26 June in the U.S. by United Artists Records with a slightly different tracklisting!!

While showcasing the development of the band's songwriting talents, the album sticks to the basic rock and roll instrumentation and song format. It is notable as the first Beatles album to feature entirely original compositions (and the only one with a song catalogue credited entirely to Lennon-McCartney). Some of the more famous songs on the album include the title track (with its distinct, instantly recognizable opening chord), and the catchy "Tell Me Why" and "Can't Buy Me Love", the latter of which was also a transatlantic number one single for the band. It also features "And I Love Her", the first of Paul McCartney's distinctive and popular ballads. The album and film are said to portray the classic image of the Beatles, as it was released at the height of Beatlemania!!.

The title of the album (and of the film) is said to have been the accidental creation of drummer Ringo Starr, though the phrase is used in John Lennon's contemporary book "In His Own Write" and was reputedly used at least once by him during the Hamburg era!!.

Side one of the LP contains the songs from the movie soundtrack. Side two contains songs recorded for, but not included in, the film, although a 1980s rerelease of the movie includes a prologue before the opening credits with "I'll Cry Instead" on the soundtrack. This is also the first Beatles album to be recorded on four-track tape, allowing for good stereo mixes. Despite this, the CD of this album is currently available only in mono, though many of the tracks appeared in stereo on CD for the first time with the release of the boxset The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 in 2004!!.

THE VINYL

 THIS VINYL IS OF THE HEAVIER AND THICKER TYPE OF VINYL WITH DEEPER AND MUCH MORE ROBUST THAN THE LATER PRESSINGS WHICH ARE MORE FLIMSIER!!!! ONLY IN STRONG LIGHT COULD POSSIBLY ANY\VERY FEW ONLY WHISPY SURFACES MARKS\SCUFFS\SCRATCHES BE SEEN MAINLY CAUSED FROM THE VINYL BEEN SLID IN AND OUT OF ITS SLEEVE..  I WOULD CLASS MYSELF AS HIGHLY CRITICAL (PLEASE LOOK AT MY COMPLETED SALES TRANSACTIONS OF THIS CALABER AND YOU WILL SEE THAT I NORMALLY GET IT RIGHT!!!!!

THE AUDIO QUALITY 

I HAVE VERY CAREFULLY PLAYED THIS VINYL TRACK FOR TRACK FIVE TIMES AT VERY LOUD VOLUME ON A TOP SYSTEM PRIOR TO LISTING WITH A DEDICATED MONO CARTRIDGE!!

THE AUDIO IS TRULY BRILLIANT IT'S CRISTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT EVEN BETWEEN TRACKS ANY INTERFEARANCE IS VERY MINIMAL THIS PLAYS ALMOST PERFECT ON MY SYSTEMS, TO BE HIGHLY CRITICAL THERE WERE TWO PLACES WHERE I COULD HEAR SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC TICKS WHICH WAS PROBABLY CAUSED FROM A NEEDLE BEEN DROPPED AT THESE POINTS ON THE VINYL, THE FIRST PLACE WAS IN BETWEEN THE TRACK 'I'LL BE BACK' THERE WAS JUST THREE OR FOUR STATIC TICKS ONLY VERY FEINT, THE OTHER WAS AT THE .LAST TWO SECONDS OF THE OUTRO ONLY AND IN BETWEEN TRACKS OF THE TRACK'AND I LOVE HER''  I MUST EMPHISISE THAT I AM BEING HIGHLY CRITICAL  THAT COULD BE JUST BARELY HEARD (ONLY AT LOUD VOLUME), I MUST EMPHESISE THIS WAS VERY VERY FEINT AND NOTHING THAT SPOILT THE OVERALL AWESOME AUDIO EFFECT AT ALL IN MY OPINION (ON SOME SYSTEMS PLAYED AT A LOWER ACCEPTABLE VOLUME THESE WOULD BARELY BE NOTICABLE)!!

POINTS TO NOTE! THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED, DORMANT, IN A CASE FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS! FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIANCE A BUILD UP OF DIRT AND DUST IN THE GROOVES OVER THE YEARS OF BEING STORED , CAUSES STATIC CRACKLE\TICKS! A CONSTANT CLEAN BEFORE EACH PLAY IS RECOMENDED!! THIS REDUCES THIS STATIC AND THEREFOR ENHANCES THE AUDIO QUALITY!
