THE BEATLES
A Hard Day's Night

ORIGINAL UK PARLOPHONE (PMC 1230) FIRST *MONO* PRESSING (July 1964) OF THE BEATLES CLASSIC "A Hard Day's Night" IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION DELIVERING TOP AUDIO ON MY SYSTEM (AT A VERY LOUD VOLUME!!) - WONDERFUL BRIGHT, CLEAN, SHARP AND FRESH SOUND - INCREDIBLY RARE TO STILL FIND LIKE THIS - PLAYS NEAR MINT - FANTASTIC COPY

THESE ORIGINAL MONOS ARE REALLY THE ONLY WAY TO HEAR THE BEATLES IN ALL THEIR GLORY - THE MONOS HAVE A MUCH MORE IMMEDIATE, FRESH, VIBRANT AND UNDILUTED SOUND THAN THE STEREOS AND THEY STILL SOUND AS FRESH AND EXCITING TODAY AS THEY DID OVER 45 YEARS AGO

PRESSED ON QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WITH THE FIRST YELLOW/BLACK PARLOPHONE LABELS WHICH HAVE THE EMBOSSED 'KT' TAX CODE ON SIDE ONE, "The Parlophone Co. Ltd." RIM TEXT AND "SOLD IN UK..." AND "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964" STATEMENT
MATRIX NUMBERS: XEX 481 - 3N / XEX 481 - 3N
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 2/RDA (with GTD corrected with 3 stamped crosses) and 4/GPL
THE LP IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED TRI-FLIPBACK SLEEVE "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents pending" AND COMES COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL GREASE-PROOF PAPER LINED EMITEX INNER SLEEVE

Track Listing:
Side 1: A Hard Day's Night / I Should Have Known Better / If I Fell / I'm Happy Just To Dance With You / And I Love Her / Tell Me Why / Can't Buy Me Love
Side 2: Any Time At All / I'll Cry Instead / Things We Said Today / When I Get Home / You Can't Do That / I'll Be Back

LABELS: The labels are clean, fresh and unmarked with just a little wear on the spindle hole but no evident spindle traces. The embossed KT tax code is bold and prominent and completely unworn - this copy has clearly seen very little play
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces retain their original deep, glossy sheen and are unmarked - the record shines like-new
VINYL Audio: Sensational sound reproduction throughout - crystal clear, clean, crisp, sharp and vibrant sound - incredibly fresh and exciting and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing, and it's always an immense pleasure to return to this wonderful LP) there are no scratches, no sticks or jumps, no surface noise and no clicks or pops. (to be very, very picky there is a tiny little crackle for the last two seconds (literally) and into the run-offs on both sides which is possibly a pressing issue as there is no evidence/marking on the vinyl - but I am being hyper-critical here and this is extremely minor). Otherwise, the run-ins and track separations are practically silent, the sound quality is simply sensational and the whole LP plays to the highest possible standard with all frequencies bright and clear, no groove-wear, no distortion, sounds stunning and is critically graded a very, very strong NEAR MINT for audio - it's practically flawless (plays MINT but for the extremely minor interference mentioned above). Beautiful copy and very, very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: The G&L front laminated flipback cover is also in beautiful condition - crisp, sharp, unworn edges and spine - which displays all text clear and bold. The laminated front has a deep, glass-like gloss with no rubbing or ring wear and the unlaminated back is remarkably clean. Superb example - NEAR MINT
and the original EMITEX inner is clean, fresh and unmarked with no splits (just some creasing - please see photos) - NEAR MINT
