THE BEATLES
A HARD DAY'S NIGHT
stereo
UK 1ST PRESS WITH EARLIEST CHUBBY PRINT, AND 'M T' TAX CODE ON THE LABEL !!!!
PLAYS WITH NEAR MINT AUDIO !!!!
AS WITH ALL BEATLES ALBUMS THERE ARE SO MANY LABEL VARIATIONS, AND THIS IS YET ANOTHER ONE. THIS IS THE EARLIEST UK 1ST PRESS, AS ON THE LABELS THERE IS A CHUBBY , MORE ROUNDED FONT, NOT SEEN BEFORE ON ANY PREVIOUS BEATLES LABELS, AND ONLY LASTED A SHORT TIME, BEFORE BEING CHANGED !!!! ALSO EARLIEST 'M T' TAX CODE ON LABEL 1. THE 'M T' TAX CODE WAS USED FROM 1ST JANUARY 1963, TO 1ST OF JULY 1963, WAFTER THIS DATE THE, ' K T' TAX CODE WAS INTRODUCED. SO AS MENTIONED THIS IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESSES !!!!
THAT'S THE BORING BIT OUT OF THE WAY, SO ON WITH THE LISTING, THANK YOU .
TIME FOR SOME MORE OF THE FAB FOUR, WHO WERE FORMED IN LIVERPOOL ENGLAND 1960, AND I THINK YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY !!!! THIS IS THEIR 3rd STUDIO ALBUM ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1964, AND THIS IS THE MUCH RARER STEREO PRESS, AS MOST WERE PRESSED ON MONO, AS STEREO EQUIPMENT WAS NOT VERY COMMON !!!! THIS PLAYS NEAR FAULTLESS AND REALLY WILL TAKE SOME BEATING !!!! COMES FULLY COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL SUPERB FRONT LAMINATED COVER AND SUPERB EMITEX POLYLINED INNER, AND THIS WILL BE ANOTHER VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
