This is somewhat of a rarity in the UK – a German pressing of the ‘Hard Day’s Night’ Soundtrack; this lovely copy appears to be a 1966 stereo repressing (SMO on cover and discs, company logos rear bottom left, label typeface and side notifier).
The sleeve is EX as while it does have a couple of small dirt spots, I’ve seen people call argue these as NM. The original inner has a small tear in the central hole, while the disc has no visible hairlines but has what appears as a ‘blotching’ on the vinyl – like what a raises misspressing looks like – however it doesn’t affect the sound in anyway; A1 and A 6 through 7 sounded great. I’m calling it VG+ on technical looks alone but it played like EX.

GRADING SYSTEM:
1. NM: Record/sleeve will be near-perfect or have maybe very minor scuff/s from being handled a few times or from the inner sleeve (potentially played once or twice).
2. EX: Record will have some minor scuffs and possible more noticeable marks preventing a NM grading; a record that was played very little and has been taken care of.
3. VG Plus: Record will have noticeable scuffs and light scratches from being handled and played, but nothing too deep as to affect playback. May have light background noise in quieter areas but still no major issues; a record that has been played and enjoyed but not abused.
4. VG: Record will have scuffs and scratches from being handled and played, causing noticeable background noise and some disturbances/pops but still enjoyable overall; still a good quality record that can be enjoyed with life left.
5. GOOD / FAIR / POOR: Record will have scuffs and major scratches. Can still be played but will have background noise and most likely major distractions such as sustained pops or skips. Records with this grade are used for rare albums or ones that would be best used only for display.
