CATA GO The Beatles – A Hard Day's Night [Vinyl LP - Japan Press - Reissue 1967 - Odeon – OP-8147 - Toshiba Red Everclean Vinyl - VG+/VG+, seam split, No obi with Insert & OIS] The Beatles – A Hard Day's Night is presented in this sought-after 1967 Japanese reissue on the legendary Toshiba "Everclean" red vinyl. This edition captures the iconic soundtrack to the band's groundbreaking first film—a crucial album that showcases The Beatles' evolution from energetic pop sensations to sophisticated songwriters—in a pressing celebrated for its exceptional sonic quality and unique vinyl formulation. The distinctive Toshiba "Everclean" red vinyl is renowned among collectors for its durability and remarkably quiet playback surfaces. This pressing delivers the album's vibrant production with excellent clarity and warmth. From the unforgettable opening chord of "A Hard Day's Night" and the harmonica-driven "I Should Have Known Better" to the timeless melodies of "Can't Buy Me Love" and "And I Love Her," the Japanese mono mix offers a direct, engaging, and detailed listening experience that highlights the band's infectious energy and harmonic brilliance. This copy is a solid, playable example of this desirable pressing. It is noted as being in Very Good Plus (VG+) condition for both the media and the sleeve. The sturdy Japanese OIS (Original Illustrated Sleeve) cover exhibits a seam split, which is a common age-related issue, but remains intact and presents well. The copy is complete with its original insert, a key collectible element. While it lacks an OBI strip (typical for many copies of this age), the core attraction—the red Everclean vinyl—plays with strong, clear sound, typical of these robust Japanese pressings, with only minor surface noise consistent with its grade. A classic and highly collectible Japanese pressing of an essential Beatles album, offered in good, honest collector's condition with its prized original insert.
