Description
The Beatles - A Hard Days Night - UK Parlophone Records PMC 1036 1st pressing with "Sold In UK" label text and "Parlophone Co" rim text
Matrix Nos and stampers: Side 1: XEX 749-3N (2 RDM) Side 2: XEX 750-3N (1 GLA)
Condition: COVER: The front-laminated, flipback 1st press sleeve is in NEAR MINT condition with no rips, tears or writing, a clean perfectly readable spine and a beautifully straight and unworn opening edge. There are one or two tiny creases (2-3mm) to the front laminate which retains a beautiful glossy sheen. The rear of the sleeve is unmarked and unfaded. A truly astounding example. Would be hard to locate a better copy. VINYL: Both sides of the record are in NEAR MINT condition with a fantastic sheen. Side 2 displays one or two ultra-faint sleeve-removal traces under the harshest light and that's it. So difficult to find a copy in this condition after almost 50 years. LABELS: Both labels are in NEAR MINT condition with no visible faults other than one faint spindle trail on side 2. INNER SLEEVE: The original white poly-lined "Emitex" inner sleeve is in EXCELLENT condition with no rips or writing, just light creasing commensurate with age. AUDIO: The record plays NEAR MINT from start to finish with no background noise, pops, clicks or groovewear. Even between tracks, the record is virtually silent.
A truly stunning example of this near 50-year-old record
