A compelling option for Fab Four enthusiasts tracking specific dead wax variations, this 1982 UK stereo edition of A Hard Day's Night (PCS 3058) introduces a very unique matrix combination. This particular pressing features the black, silver, and white "Two EMI Box" Parlophone label with the modern "All Rights" perimeter text layout. In the runout grooves, the side one dead wax carries a classic stamping anomaly where the number 2 digit is struck directly on top of an initial number 1 matrix indicator (YEX 126 - 2 6 04), while side two carries a clean -4 master matrix configuration with 4 44 individual stamper letters.

The classic rock album is presented in its original glossy picture sleeve, which displays the standard "stereo" header text prominently across the front cover.

We grade the sleeve as Good (G). The jacket shows notable age-related wear around the edges alongside a clear structural split located on the centre of the top edge. The vinyl disc itself achieves an exceptional Excellent (EX) condition grade, remaining beautifully clean and well-preserved. It showcases a striking original mirror gloss with only minimal handling traces across the playing surfaces. Providing an affordable entry point for audiophiles who prioritise a clean, top-tier audio presentation on quiet vinyl, this listing represents a wonderful example of a fascinating turning-point pressing.
