This is a quintessential VG+ 1964 UK 1st press copy of the legendary ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ by The Beatles (481-5N AAH 2 / 482-3N ARD 7 matrices).
 This is being conservatively graded VG+ copy (but is arguably EX) with some very minor rear dirt discolouration, a pair of spine-edge creases and with a taped opening; while the disc has some general play wear but only has a handful of hairlines discernible under bright sunlight – some dirt residue present before cleaning.

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.
