The Beatles
A Hard Day's Night
(with the much rarer EJ Day cover)
EX- throughout


Have a listen to a track from this album up for auction:

This Lp was released on the 10th July1964. The 45rpm was released in April and at that time the Beatles' film had yet to get a title and as the story goes, Ringo emerged from a long days work saying "It's been a hard day," then seeing it was already dark added " 's night." This was then announced to the press as the title on the 17th of April. Ringo may have seen this phrase before in Lennons book "Sad Michael."
Holding a number 1 postition for a huge 21 weeks, from July the 25th!!!
This is also the ONLY Beatles album to have every track written by Lennon/McCartney.

Catalogue number: PMC 1230

Lovely early press here.


Vinyl:
QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL:162g
EX-. Lovely heavy vinyl with a gorgeous sheen. There are only very light marks, with certainly...
NOTHING TO MAKE HER JUMP OR SKIP.
I have just listened to the whole album and thoroughly enjoyed the playback, just a little background crackle, which I am sure will be hugely reduced with a gentle professional clean, to get the dust out of the grooves.
Very nice indeed.
Flat Flat, FLAT!

Labels: EX! There are just a small handful of very light spindle marks, visible only when angled towards the light.
Next to ZERO central hole wear...

 Cover: EX-.
*It is the rarer E J Day cover...typically manufactured at a ration of around 10:1 in comparsion to the Garrod & Lofthouse sleeves.
Don't find this very often for Hard Days Night cover!!*
The cover has been loved, with only a few little fingers of spidering eminating from the seams and very few crescents of spidering to the opening.
NO SPLITS OR TEARS!!
The back WHITE card carries a couple of tiny stains-really nothing to worry about.
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES FOR YOURSELVES.
Good STRONG & LEGIBLE spine.
Fantastically strong flipbacks too.


Inner: VG++. ORIGINAL "Use Emitex" inner.
With "Patents Applied For" printed text-showing how early this is too!
She carries some staining and some tears near the window, but again, nothing to worry about.
