Another from my personal collection of Beatles records, Collected over a period of more than 35 years! I have accumilated more than a 1000 Beatles albums alone (mainly UK pressings)!! This album has been in my collection for more than 35 years and has been stored in a case with the vinyl seperated from the original cover and record sleeve for protection, This is how I have always stored my records!! The rarest charactoristic of this awesome sounding album is the earliest and certainly the rarest to ever find E.Day & Co Printed flip back cover and in tip top condition to boot!,,extreemely rare and sought after rather than the more common Garrod  & Lofthouse cover, these very rarely ever surface for sale also it is very very common that these early Beatles albums are played to death with grooveware and scratches, not this one,, This looks and sounds like it has barely ever been played at all, in my personal opinion this has only been played a handful of times if that! Quite unbeleivable for a 45 year old vinyl, it is my opinion that this album will be a final upgrade for any avid Beatles collector and a true investment!! Another point to raise is, that during my quest to find the best sounding Beatles records over the years, it became apparent that the earliest pressings provide the best audio quality available on vinyl , i.e. the earliest stampers! I have found that very late stampers (or the last stampers from any given mother) produce a very bland audio, The sharpest and most vibrant audio is only found on the earliest stampers from any given mother from the earliest master! This vinyl on offer features ''4'' ''GGD'' and ''2'' ''GGO'' Pressed from the earliest available master with -3N -3N Matrix endings!!! This vinyl produces ,in my opinion the best audio available in any format! In a way when you hear this vinyl for the first time on your turntable, you are hearing it as, and the way  the person that purchased these records 45 years ago heard it, right from the first note from the track ''A Hard Day's Night' it sends a shiver down your spine, beleive me this doesn't happen with every beatles vinyl that you play, the sharpness and clarity comes across from the first instance! Absolutely superbe! 

A HARD DAY'S NIGHT is the third album by the Beatles, released in the UK on 10 July 1964 as the soundtrack to their first film of the same name. The album was released on 26 June in the U.S. by United Artists Records with a slightly different tracklisting !!!.

While showcasing the development of the band's songwriting talents, the album sticks to the basic rock and roll instrumentation and song format. It is notable as the first Beatles album to feature entirely original compositions (and the only one with a song catalogue credited entirely to Lennon-McCartney). Some of the more famous songs on the album include the title track (with its distinct, instantly recognizable opening chord), and the catchy "Tell Me Why" and "Can't Buy Me Love", the latter of which was also a transatlantic number one single for the band. It also features "And I Love Her", the first of Paul McCartney's distinctive and popular ballads. The album and film are said to portray the classic image of the Beatles, as it was released at the height of Beatlemania!!!.

The title of the album (and of the film) is said to have been the accidental creation of drummer Ringo Starr, though the phrase is used in John Lennon's contemporary book "In His Own Write" and was reputedly used at least once by him during the Hamburg era!.

Side one of the LP contains the songs from the movie soundtrack. Side two contains songs recorded for, but not included in, the film, although a 1980s rerelease of the movie includes a prologue before the opening credits with "I'll Cry Instead" on the soundtrack. This is also the first Beatles album to be recorded on four-track tape, allowing for good stereo mixes. Despite this, the CD of this album is currently available only in mono, though many of the tracks appeared in stereo on CD for the first time with the release of the boxset The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 in 2004!.

THE VINYL

 AT FIRST GLANCE THIS VINYL LOOKS SUPERBE AND I CAN BARELY SEE A BLEMISH AT ALL!!!!! . THIS VINYL IS OF THE HEAVIER AND THICKER TYPE OF VINYL WITH DEEPER AND MUCH MORE ROBUST THAN THE LATER PRESSINGS WHICH ARE MORE FLIMSIER!!!! ONLY IN STRONG LIGHT CAN POSSIBLY ANY\VERY VERY FEW WHISPY MARKS\SCUFFS BE SEEN MAINLY CAUSED FROM THE VINYL BEEN SLID IN AND OUT OF ITS SLEEVE.THERE ARE DEFINATELY (NO) AUDIO SOUNDING MARKS OR SCRATCHES AT ALL!!  IN FACT I CAN'T SEE ANY NEEDLE SCRATCHES AT ALL!!!! I WOULD CLASS MYSELF AS HIGHLY CRITICAL (PLEASE LOOK AT MY COMPLETED SALES TRANSACTIONS OF THIS CALABRE AND YOU WILL SEE THAT I NORMALLY GET IT RIGHT!!!!!I HAVE PLAYED THIS VINYL AT VERY LOUD VOLUME ON A TOP SYSTEM PRIOR TO LISTING!,, THE AUDIO IS TRULY BRILLIANT IT'S CRISTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT EVEN BETWEEN TRACKS ANY INTERFEARANCE IS VERY MINIMAL THIS PLAYS LIKE NEW!!!!!(SO RARE FOR A VERY EARLY 1ST PRESSING)!!!!! .THE VINYL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN FROM NEW. (GENUINE 43 YEARS OLD) !!!!!! I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO AS TRULY SUPERBE CRISTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT TROUGHOUT AND PLAYS AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES!!!!! WITH (NO) SIGNS OF GROOVEWARE OR THAT THIS HAS BEEN OVERPLAYED AT ALL!!!!!! (NO) CLICKS OR POPS IN FACT I NEVER HEARD ANY CRACKLE OR ANY SURFACE NOISE!! CERTAINLY (NO) SKIPS OR JUMPS JUST ABSOLUTELY SUPERBE!!!! AUDIO IS GRADED AT THE VERY TOP!!THE AUDIO MUST BE AT LEAST EXCELLENT PLUS PLUS\ TO VERY NEAR MINT, CERTAINLY UP THERE AS ONE OF THE VERY BEST THAT I HAVE HEARD OF THIS PRESSING!!

PLEASE NOTE! I ALWAYS ADD THIS DISCLAIMER! PLEASE ALLOW FOR THE ODD STATIC CRACKLE\TICK HERE AND THERE (NOT CONSISTANT THROUGHOUT THE AUDIO) THIS IS A GENUINE VINYL THAT IS 43 YEARS OLD! AND WOULD HAVE ORIGINALLY BEEN PLAYED ON A 43 YEAR OLD SYSTEM!!(ALTHOUGH ON MY SYSTEMS PLAYED AT VERY LOUD VOLUME, THIS PLAYED VERY NEAR PERFECT THROUGHOUT)!

POINTS TO NOTE! THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED, LAYING DORMANT, IN A CASE FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS! FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIANCE A BUILD UP OF DIRT AND DUST IN THE GROOVES OVER THE YEARS OF BEING STORED , CAUSES STATIC CRACKLE\TICKS! A CONSTANT CLEAN BEFORE EACH PLAY IS RECOMENDED!! THIS REDUCES THIS STATIC AND THEREFOR ENHANCES THE AUDIO QUALITY!
