The Beatles A Hard days night vinyl LP First UK mono pressing with yellow and black Parlophone labels and 'sold in the UK....' text Cat. no. PMC 1230 XEX 481-3N and XEX 482-3N matrices KT tax code on side 1
Vinyl is still in a clean and glossy condition with a few light scuffs and marks and the odd wispy hairline. No deep or feelable scratches. VG+ Labels are also clean and tidy with no writing, stickers or damage and just a few light spindle marks on either side. Not overplayed at all. VG+ Audio is very nice. Crisp and clear with no sticks, jumps or loud pops. Very little surface noise even between tracks and during the quieter sections and no distortion. A great listen. EX
Sleeve is clean and solid with light signs of use. No writing, tears or other damage. Spine still solid and readable. Opening edge has only light feathering. Rear flipbacks still clean and undamaged. Just some minor wear to the top edge. VG+ Original 'use emitex' Inner is included and but has a couple of splits to the bottom and one edge and light signs of handling. VG
Overall a well above average copy of this early pressing with great audio. VG+/VG+
Open to offers Will be supplied with a new poly lined inner

Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc..
Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise: it may even jump. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
Poor: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc.. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
