Description
I am a 40+ year collector of LPs and 45s. All of the LPs and 45s I have listed on eBay are from my personal collection.
I have also been an audiophile for 40+ years (analog only). My system picks up the slightest surface noise on vinyl; i.e., ticks, pops, hiss, and sibilants due to groove wear. The standard I have used in adding a record to my collection has been how well it played. To me, this means quiet surfaces; i.e., no ticks, pops, crackle, or hiss in the music or the dead wax.
The outer covers of LPs have been stored in polyethylene sleeve protectors since I acquired them. I have also removed the record from opened LPs to prevent seam splits.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with an item for any reason, you may return it for a full refund of your purchase price.
This LP is the Beatles A Hard Day's Night. It is a stereo LP and is the Parlophone 'One-Box' label pressed in 1969 - 1972. It is catalog number PCS 3058.
These Parlophone One-Box label pressings are quite hard to find. When they were released, the world was listening to Abbey Road and Let It Be so these EMI re-issues of the early Beatles LPs did not sell many copies. They are now tough to find, especially in this condition.

Labels: M-
The spindle hole shows a couple spindle tracks. The spindle hole itself shows no signs of wear and the labels show no signs of handling. This LP has not had many spins on a turntable.
Vinyl: M-
The vinyl is flawless except for some very light bag rash on the run-out and final track on Side 2. It shows the high gloss and sheen of a new LP. I have played this LP once for this listing and it plays mint with no ticks, pops, or surface noise with the music or in the dead wax on the run-ins, run-outs, or between tracks. All you will hear is the music.
Sleeve: EX+
The sleeve was made by Garrod & Lofhouse and is in superb condition. It has solid seams with no splits. Both the front and back panels are unmarked without any discoloration. The front panel has a couple creases to the laminate that are noticeable and some minor creasing along the right side of the lower seam. The flip-back seams on the reverse panel are tight and clean. There is one small cut on the lower flip-back. See the photos.
The inner sleeve is the usual sepia tone EMI sleeve with pictures of other Beatles LPs and other EMI artists. The inner sleeve has no seam splits, marks, or tears.
Payment, Shipping, and Returns:
Please do not remit payment until you receive an invoice. The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. All boxes and other shipping materials are new. Each LP is carefully packaged in custom made LP mailing boxes with new cardboard stiffeners (the exact size of the mailing box) on the top and bottom of the LP so it is tight and secure within the mailer. The record is removed from the sleeve cover, except in the case of sealed LPs, to avoid seam splits in transit. Shipping costs include only the actual costs of shipping and the required shipping materials. Shipping services within the US are USPS Media Mail. The shipping cost for this LP within the US is $6.00.
Shipping costs vary widely outside the US. International shipping services are either USPS International or Federal Express International. For all locations outside the US please contact me for an exact shipping cost. The buyer is responsible for any customs or import duties. All shipping services include a signed-for receipt.
Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, you may return the record for a full refund of your purchase price. The record must be returned in the same condition, and in the same manner, in which it was shipped.
