Track Listing:
Side 1: A Hard Day's Night / I Should Have Known Better / If I Fell / I'm Happy Just To Dance With You / And I Love Her / Tell Me Why / Can't Buy Me Love
Side 2: Any Time At All / I'll Cry Instead / Things We Said Today / When I Get Home / You Can't Do That / I'll Be Back
LABELS: The labels are clean and unmarked with spindle traces and some wear around the spindle hole. The embossed KT tax code is bold. This copy has clearly see many plays but not played on poor equipment to the point of distortion - it sounds great - EXCELLENT
VINYL Visual: Both surfaces still retain their original deep, glossy sheen with no dulling but there are some general light marks (nothing at all major or feel-able to the touch) - EXCELLENT
VINYL Audio: Outstanding MONO audio delivery on this first pressing with a crystal clear, deep, rich and detailed sound (and a superb loud cut) - very, very impressive indeed and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my records prior to listings) there are no scratches, no skips or jumps, no prominent surface noise and no clicks or pops (none at all) - it actually plays really, really well throughout (to a much higher standard than many lesser played copies I have seen) and the run-ins and track divisions are all practically silent. I also detected no groove-wear or distortion to the audio on my play-through and I would critically grade this copy EXCELLENT - sounds great
SLEEVE: The original G&L flipback sleeve is in very nice condition. There is no real top and bottom edge wear to speak of and all text on the spine is clear and bold. The front laminated surface still retains its original deep, glass-like glossy sheen with just some half-moon creases towards the opening edge. The unlaminated back is also pretty clean with just a few light marks. Overall, a very fine example - EXCELLENT
INNER : The EMITEX inner has no splits but has discoloured with age and has some creasing- EXCELLENT (The LP is now housed - and will be posted in - a new inner (with NAGAOKA anti-static liner) to avoid any damage to the original inner during transit)
