ATTENTION BEATLES AND 1960s LP COLLECTORS!  HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1964 MONO EDITION OF THE BAND'S ALBUM:"A HARD DAY'S NIGHT". PARLOPHONE PMC 1230 WITH 3N/3N MATRIXES-MUCH EARLIER THAN MOST THAT TURN UP AND THE "MEDIUM SIZED MONO" COVER CREDIT.

THE COVER IS PRINTED BY ERNEST J.DAY AND CO.  NATURALLY THE DISC HAS THE EARLIEST YELLOW/BLACK LABELS-LATER ONES HAD SILVER/BLACK LABELS AS WELL AS NO "SOLD IN THE UK" TEXT AS ON LATER REPRINTS.

THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME USE WITH SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS BUT APART FROM A FEW ISOLATED AND FAINT "POPS" I COULDN'T HEAR ANY LOUD CLICKS! ALSO NO STICKS OR JUMPS! VERY MINIMAL SURFACE CRACKLE! THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS WHEN LISTENING AS I DO WITH THE TREBLE FULLY ON AND AT HIGH VOLUME.  STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT IT PLAYS THROUGH REALLY WELL! WAY,WAY BETTER THAN MOST DEALERS "EX" BUT TO GET A NEAR MINT EXAMPLE IS TOUGH AND EXPENSIVE! EMI'S MASTERING AND DEEP CUT LOUD AND BASS FILLED,THICK VINYL WAS VERY HARDY AT THIS TIME RATHER THAN THE LATER WAFER THIN REPRESSES OFTEN CUT AT A LOWER VOLUME AND AS SUCH THE "BLINDFOLD" TEST WOULD MERIT A HIGHER GRADE BUT I WANT THE WINNING BIDDER TO CONSIDER IT "BETTER THAN EXPECTED". PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS ON MANY BEATLES ALBUMS! UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I PLAY ALL MY EBAY ITEMS THROUGH TO ENSURE REALISTIC GRADINGS SO PLEASE BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE. HOUSED IN A LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER WITH A  FEW MINOR CREASES-MOSTLY AT THE EDGES AND A LITTLE STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

AN EASY TO READ SPINE DETAILS. HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL EMITEX POLYLINED PAPER INNER SLEEVE WITH THE EARLIEST "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED FOR THIS LP! JUST A FEW CREASES BUT NO WRITING,SPLITS OR STAINING.THICK VINYL. THE PARLOPHONE CO.LTD RIM TEXT.  THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR.

MOST COPIES SOLD 50 YEARS AGO IN 1964 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT, SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HAD A NUMBER OF PLAYS BUT STILL WELL CARED FOR!

 THIS IS A LOVELY VERY THICK PRESSING!

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!

THE MONO MIXES OF THIS ALBUM ARE DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO ONES AND MOST BEATLES COLLECTORS WILL WANT TO OWN BOTH BUT OF COURSE THE MAJORITY OF MONO COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL-THIS BEING A VERY NICE COPY INDEED!

A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE FOR THIS IMPORTANT PART OF ANY BEATLES COLLECTION!

 YOU'LL LOVE IT FOR YEARS AND HOPEFULLY WILL RETURN TO ME AGAIN!   

SUPERB MONO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.

 I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
