Representing an original variant for Beatles completists, this 1964 UK mono 1st pressing of A Hard Day's Night (PMC 1230) offers an excellent entry point into original sixties analogue sound. This historic release carries the famous black and yellow Parlophone label, displaying all mandatory first-press typography. The rim features "THE PARLOPHONE CO. LTD." text, alongside the "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964" line and the "Sold in U.K." statement. Collectors will find a KT tax code cleanly embossed on the side one label, paired with the legendary 3N/3N master matrix stampers in the runout grooves.

This specific vinyl copy is housed in the distinct front-laminated flipback Ernest J. Day sleeve, which features the mid-sized "mono" indicator on the front layout. It comes complete with its original, period-accurate polylined Emitex inner sleeve.

We grade the sleeve as Good (G). The jacket shows wear on the corners, a vintage pen name written on the reverse side, and a visible tape residue mark running down the opening edge. The vinyl disc itself grades at a presentable VG. It remains in clean condition, showcasing its original gloss with a few surface marks that do not impact the overall visual appeal. For listeners wanting the punchy, authentic uncompressed mono mix of this landmark Fab Four record without a premium price tag, this listing delivers fantastic historical value.
