Ernest.J.Day sleeve in superb *Mint*condition
A truly exceptional example here with the more desirable E.J.Day sleeve in remarkable day of release condition, which I have to say has the finest preserved sleeve I have ever seen - It really has to be seen to be appreciated, and interestingly with a background colour that is strikingly a different shade of blue than other examples -
Different inks were used for E.J.Day sleeves and vary a lot from their Garrod & Lofthouse counterparts, but there couldn't have been many pressed with this very attractive shade of blue that got through into the shops, I have tried to show this in the pictures but the download takes some of the colour shade out, but it's quite striking when compared side by side to the regular dark Navy blue type, probably unique and in this amazing condition -
This sleeve itself is an absolute pristine example and merits a full *Mint* grading, you will rarely see one in this fabulous condition - unmarked lamination on the front, showing 'mid size mono' made from lovely thick 60's card razor sharp edges perfect square corners and entry edge is untouched, no lamination lifted anywhere just awesome, turn it over and you will see three perfect wide EJDay flipbacks, and a dazzling white unmarked panel, no handling signs smudges or marks whatsoever,
It's the absolute perfect example,
Onto the record itself, as you would expect vinyl is in similar condition, -visually highly glossy and bright lovely clear grooves - graded under the strongest light just the lightest bag marks but you have to look hard to pick these up graded *Near-Mint* condition, audibly I have played this record and playing equals that of the visual, fabulous clear sound, obviously no jumps or pops no surface noise and quiet in between tracks great Beatles listening from start to finish, as it should be, audio graded *Close To Mint* I don't know how you would get better,
Labels showing 'Sold In The UK' and 'Parlophone Co' rim, with 'KT' tax code on side1, no hole wear at all - bright clean and clear graded *Near-Mint*
All complete with it's original Emitex die-cut lined inner which fits very snuggly inside the sleeve showing again this record has hardly been played or handled, perfectly preserved,
An outstanding Mono Hard Days Night original example that shows little sign of having been played or handled, in addition to it's unique colour shade of blue makes this a rarity that simply can't be equalled.
