Description:

Original UK stereo first pressing of A Hard Day's Night by The Beatles released on Parlophone Records.

This is the desirable 1/1 matrix variation and also carries the early white label font variation to the Parlophone labels.

The vinyl remains in excellent condition overall with very clean glossy surfaces and only faint signs of careful play visible under strong light.

Labels remain especially crisp overall with only light spindle wear present.

Playback remains particularly strong throughout with very clear punchy audio following careful play testing.

There is only a tiny trace of light crackle audible during the opening intro before the music fully begins.

The original Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve remains in strong near excellent condition overall with especially sharp glossy laminate still present to the front panel.

The rear sleeve displays only faint traces of age yellowing overall while the flipback construction remains especially well preserved.

Includes the correct EMI Emitex poly-lined inner sleeve.

A very strong example overall of this sought after early stereo first pressing.

Carefully cleaned and fully play tested prior to listing.
