THE BEATLES - 'A HARD DAY'S NIGHT'
This wonderful sounding NEAR MINT UK STEREO pressing dates from 1970 and is on the 2-EMI box Parlophone label: PCS 3058
Both labels bear the 'Made In Gt. Britain' text & have 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd...' worded rims.
1st pressing matrix numbers: YEX 126-1 & YEX 127-1
Stamper codes: 3,4/HG & 2/OA
Vinyl weight: 140g
Housed within a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with its original red & white EMI advertising inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set with just a single faint spindle trail around each completely unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally unmarked in strong daylight with just a few barley visible wispy paper hairlines from the inner-sleeve visible directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp.
Sound Quality: MINT
This wonderful sounding copy has received just a single careful play on high-end equipment and as a result the sound quality is flawless throughout. True 1st pressing sound quality at a fraction of the cost.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A fine clean & unworn example which has been carefully stored within a non-smoking environment these past 42 years. The high-gloss front panel is perfectly clean & unscratched with just two or three small 'thumbnails' & some tiny edge wrinkles but no other significant signs of wear. There is light shelfwear bruising to the lower corners but nothing or not to either opening edge. The rear panel is extremely clean & white and all flipbacks are fully intact.
There is a little laminate lift along the spine but it is fully intact and appears to be a manufacturing issue rather than one of wear. It is clean & fully worded & both seams are smooth & unstressed.
Inner-sleeve: MINT
