AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare UK mono first pressing of A Hard Day's Night by The Beatles on Parlophone (PMC 1230), featuring the desirable "Slender Printing" label variation with the original 3N / 3N matrix combination.
A highly collectible early UK mono pressing of this iconic album.
⸻
Sleeve (EX):
A very tidy example with extremely clean flipbacks and a great front cover. The back cover remains clean with only a very tiny pen mark, which does not detract from the overall presentation. The sleeve grades a strong EX.
Vinyl (VG+):
The vinyl has a nice shiny appearance, showing some light playwear and playmarks consistent with careful use. Nothing serious, with playback remaining strong throughout, grading VG+ overall.
Labels:
Original black/yellow Parlophone labels present on both sides with some staining, consistent with age and use.
