This original 1964 UK mono 1st pressing of The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night (PMC 1230) is a great addition to any vinyl collection. Highly sought after by Fab Four completists, this definitive British pop masterpiece features the iconic black and yellow Parlophone label. It includes all essential first-press identifiers: "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD." rim text, "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964" and the mandatory "Sold in U.K." statement. A distinct KT tax code is also cleanly embossed on the side one label, paired with the desirable 3N/3N matrix stampers (XEX 481-3N / XEX 482-3N) in the runout.

The vintage album is housed in its authentic, front-laminated Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve, distinguished by the mid-sized "mono" indicator on the front cover. It comes complete with the original, correct period-accurate polylined Emitex inner sleeve.

We grade the sleeve as VG due to a tiny split on the opening edge and a split on the bottom right-hand corner. The jacket still retains its vibrant gloss and classic structural integrity. The vinyl disc is in clean VG+ condition. It showcases its original sheen with a few surface marks that do not detract from its overall appeal. This collectable piece of British rock history represents a fantastic opportunity to own a first-edition Beatles vinyl record. It is perfect for listeners who demand the punchy, authentic analogue sound of the 1960s.
