Incredible very early 1st UK Mono pressing of The Beatles A Hard Day's Night in Near Mint condition and possibly played only several times! We've never come across a copy of this album in such an amazing condition. This very early UK copy of A Hard Day's Night, the third Beatles studio album, released by Parlophone Records on July 10, 1964, is the true very early 1st Mono UK pressing with the earliest 1st 3N / 3N matrix numbers. 1st Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. print wrap around flap over round-cut corner single type cover contains the "middle" type "Mono" banner at the top right corner of the front cover and Catalog No. "PMC 1230" printed at the top right corner of the back cover. The bottom right corner of the back cover contains the "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents pending PMC 1230 PCS 3058" text on the flap-over border. Very early 1st print black Parlophone Records labels with silver print, large yellow "Parlophone" banner, PMC 1230 Catalog Number, "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD. (capital letter)" text printed at the perimeter, "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964" statement on the left (missing on the subsequent pressings!), embossed "K and T" tax code at the center, near the spindle hole, and A2 'I Should Have Known Better' having its title split over 2 lines. The labels also contain a very rare slender font type. The issue comes with the original tracing-rice-paper-lined “Use Emitex” die-cut inner sleeve. Very early 1st heavyweight, approximately 186g, vinyl with the very early 1st matrix numbers and 1st mother stampers: Side 1 - XEX 481 - 3N ALP / Side 2 - XEX 482 - 3N AHP. Don't let this copy get away as perhaps, this is the only opportunity you'll have to acquire this very early 1st pressing Mono UK version of A Hard Day's Night, whose track listing is different from its US counterpart, in such an immaculate condition.
CONDITION:
COVER: NEAR MINT (NM)
VINYL: NEAR MINT (NM) The vinyl would be graded as Mint Minus (M-) if it wasn't because of just a couple of very light surface scuffs from the inner sleeve, which are visible under a strong light source.
LABELS: NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) Clean wear, scuff and spot-free labels with only just a couple of super light spindle marks, visible under a strong light source.
RICE-PAPER-LINED AND "EMITEX" INNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT (NM)
ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS! USPS can no longer accept or deliver international mail temporary to several countries due to the service impacts. Please check whether your country is on the list of temporary service and guaranteed-delivery suspensions. Additionally, please take into consideration that the disruption of air mail schedule causes significant delays, which affect the expected delivery date declared by eBay and USPS. From our side, we guarantee the prompt shipping of the item within 24 hours after receiving payment.
Please pay attention that we DON'T ship to Russia and Germany. No exceptions. We'll immediately cancel the transaction if our policy conditions are violated. Sorry about that.
POLICY:
Realizing how important it is to secure the safety of the item you've paid your money for, I'll put my best effort into packing the records as best as possible, triple boxing them into the specialized professional boxes, with the two outer boxes having a special construction with extended cardboard on the edges to prevent the record covers' corners from getting damaged during the transit, and will also put the vinyl outside of the cover (of course, unless it's a sealed record) to prevent the splitting. I always try responding to the messages, but please, before sending me a message, make sure that the answer to your question isn't included in the description. I'll use my right to block a buyer, who doesn't correspond to my idea of politeness, culture and respect toward each other. If you want to participate in my auction, please be honest and positive, and I'll be mutual with you. I'll remove the bids of a buyer with zero rating, unless he contacts me prior to placing a bid.
