Record Cover: High quality pictures of the cover for close inspection, and describe any imperfections to the cover to the best of my ability.
Vinyl Record: Strict grading system in accordance with GOLDMINE'S RECORD PRICE GUIDES. Records are graded by visual standards under a 100 watt light bulb. When grading a disc, we grade the overall wear of the vinyl, not the label.

RECORD COVER GRADING:
MINT: We do not use this grade unless the record is still sealed.
Near Mint: is (or virtually) as brand new.
VG++ Same as Excellent
VG+ (Very Good plus): Cover may have light ring wear, or a crease, a perfectly acceptable record cover if Near Mint is not essential for you.
VG (Very Good): general wear, with contour creasing, cover may have ring wear, seam wear, seam splits or other imperfections.
RECORD VINYL GRADING:
MINT: Perfect vinyl. Absolutely flawless.
Near Mint: A perfect or near perfect record, probably unplayed.
VG++: A record with some faint scratches and/or some faint surface marks that do not affect play, still highly collectable.
VG+: A record with some scratches and/or some surface marks. Record might have minimal surface noise which does not overwhelm the music listening experience.
VG: A record with scratches and/or some surface marks. Record will have surface noise especially during the quiet passages. Return Policy We offer a full refund for any record that does not meet your expectations and does not match the grading description provided.
THE BEATLES A Hard Day's Night rare matrix error YEX 127-2 UK PCS 3058
Record Condition: Near Mint Cover Condition: Excellent
Matrix No. Side 1 YEX 126-1 / OT Side 2 YET 127-2 / AH
Black and Yellow Parlophone label with silver print:
the name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD.(capital letter)" on the outer rim, the "SOLD IN U.K." remark, and the "(P) 1964" statement.
" SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS." statement was printed at the center of the label.
This issue has “Songs From The Film “A Hard Day’s Night” title credits on the side-1 only.
Side 2 of the Stereo "A Hard Day's Night" mastering was re-cut in the 1960s as "YEX 127-2" but was withdrawn almost instantly as the pressing plates went into production. It has been noted that there's a cutting error which is present on this LP; The drum crack that opens "Any Time At All" on the -2 cutting is partially missing at the very beginning.
This may have been an error with the cutting tape or a mistake on the lathe it was cut with, but the song doesn't play as it normally should on any other matrix of this album. EMI quickly noticed this problem, stopped pressing with the -2 plates and reverted back to their -1 plates, a cutting which lasted all the way into the early 1970s on "Two Box EMI" pressings.
For context, the only time these LPs ever come up for sale, they all have the same Side 2 Stamper, that being 1 AH. The 37th stamper from the very first mother, with either 2 MA or 34 OT as Side 1. From that, we can guess that only one stamper of the -2 Side 2 matrix had even been used before they were pulled from production again.
