THE BEATLES
A HARD DAY'S NIGHT 
MONO
RARE VERY EARLY PRESS WITH THE 'M T' TAX STAMP ON THE LABEL, BECAUSE MOST HAVE THE 'K T' TAX CODE !!!!
IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE SEEN THIS UP FOR AUCTION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, THEN YOU ARE NEARLY CORRECT, BUT THAT ONE WAS A STEREO VERSION AND THIS ONE IS THE MONO VERSION, THANK YOU !!!


THIS IS THE BEATLES 3rd STUDIO ALBUM, RELEASED ON 10th JULY 1964, AND IS THE SOUNDTRACK FROM THE BEATLES FILM ALSO CALLED 'A HARD DAY'S NIGHT' !!!! THIS ALBUM PLAYS AMAZING AND YOU WILL FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND A BETTER PLAYING VINYL FOR THIS VINYL, AND AS YOU WILL SEE IT PLAYS NEAR FAULTLESS !!!! THIS IS FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND WILL BE ANOTHER SAD LOSS !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1964 UK 1ST MONO PRESS :: XEX 481-3N  ::  XEX 482-3N .
ON THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABEL :: PMC  1230 .
'SOLD IN THE UK SUBJECT TO RESALE' LABEL TEXT .
'RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964' LABEL TEXT .
THE 'PARLOPHONE CO LTD' RIM TEXT .
COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED WITH FLIP BACKS, PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE Ltd PATENTS PENDING, WITH MONO LOGO TOP RIGHT CORNER. NOW THIS COVER IS IN LOVELY SOLID CONDITION, AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOS, AND THE ONLY THING OF NOTE IS THERE IS A RECORD SHOP STAMP MARK ON THE BACK AND ALSO A VERY TINY NAME NEXT TO IT IN TOP RIGHT CORNER, AS SHOWN IN ONE OF THE PHOTOS. SUPERB SPINE AND EDGES WITH TWO VERY TINY SPOTS OF RUB, AND THEY ARE BOTH VERY TINY !!!! NO LAMINATE LIFT JUST A FEW TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THE BACK HAS SOME VERY LIGHT HANDLING MARKS AROUND THE EDGES, BUT NOT MUCH AS AGAIN YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO. SO A LOVELY SOLID ORIGINAL, AND I WOULD GRADE  :: EX/EX- .  DUE ONLY TO THE RECORD  SHOP STAMP MARK AND TINY NAME OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY EASY EX !!!!
VINYL ::  FANTASTIC CRISP CLEAR MONO AUDIO. NOW AS MENTIONED AT THE TOP OF THE LISTING THE AUDIO PLAYS AMAZING, AND IN THIS CONDITION THEY VERY RARELY TURN UP, SO HERE IS A RARE CHANCE TO GET THE LOVELY VINYL WITH STUNNING AUDIO. THERE IS NO STATIC AND NOTHING AT ALL ON THE PLAYING AUDIO. THERE ARE JUST FOUR FAINT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2 ON SIDE 1, WHILE ON SIDE 2 ONLY ONE FAINT TICK BETWEEN TRACK 5 AND TRACK 6, AND AS YOU CAN SEE NOT ON THE ACTUAL AUDIO !!!! NOW VISUALLY ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF LONGER TOTALLY COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A LONG FAINT THIN COSMETIC SCUFF LINE ON SIDE 2, AND THESE ARE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AS AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS SUPERB AND STILL HAS A LOVELY SHINE. NOW THERE IS A VERY TINY VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE MARK, BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2 ON SIDE 1, WHERE THOSE FOUR FAINT TICKS CAN BE HEARD, BUT REALLY THIS IS REALLY BEING PICKY, AS IN NO WAY WILL THIS AUDIO DISAPPOINT YOU. SO FOR THAT ALL IMPORTANT AUDIO GRADE AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX+/NEAR MINT .  THE ACTUAL AUDIO IS NEAR MINT BUT WITH THOSE COUPLE OF FAINT TICKS BETWEEN THOSE TRACKS MENTIONED ABOVE, I WILL STAY ON THE SAFE SIDE AND GRADE EX+/NEAR MINT !!!!

LABELS :: WITH THE RARE 'M T' TAX STAMP, AND ARE REALLY CLEAN WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX/EX+ .

EMITEX POLYLINED INNER :: THERE ARE NO SPLITS OR WRITING AND LOVELY AND CLEAN JUST A BIT OF LIGHT AGEING AROUND THE EDGES  :: EX/EX- . 

YES WHAT YOU HAVE READ IS ALL TRUE, AND LIKE I MENTIONED, IN THIS CONDITION THEY RARELY TURN UP WITH AUDIO LIKE THIS ONE HAS, SO THIS IS ONE AUCTION NOT TO FORGET ABOUT, AND GOOD LUCK !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !! ROSE.
