Description
A Hard Day’s Night Factory Sealed UK Import Stereo LP (PCS 3058) SIMILAR to the one pictured here
This is a Factory Sealed '70s EMI Parlophone British Import ANALOG LP with No Bar Code. The corners are square, the shrink intact, but there is about a two inch split in the bottom seam and a very slight bend in the lower right corner -- not a crease, just a bend. While we obviously can't make any claims about the sonic quality of this particular copy, these British pressings have the potential to sound AMAZING! AMG Review
A Hard Day's Night not only was the de facto soundtrack for their movie, not only was it filled with nothing but Lennon-McCartney originals, but it found the Beatles truly coming into their own as a band. All of the disparate influences on their first two albums had coalesced into a bright, joyous, original sound, filled with ringing guitars and irresistible melodies. A Hard Day's Night is where the Beatles became mythical, but this is the sound of Beatlemania in all of its giddy glory.
Decades after its original release, its punchy blend of propulsive rhythms, jangly guitars, and infectious, singalong melodies is remarkably fresh. There's something intrinsically exciting in the sound of the album itself, something to keep the record vital years after it was recorded. Even more impressive are the songs themselves... [E]verything on the record is performed with genuine glee and excitement. It's the pinnacle of their early years. TRACK LISTING
Side One
A Hard Day’s Night
I Should Have Known Better
If I Fell Track Commentary
This is a wonderful example of The Beatles' harmonies at their best. Toward the end of the song, during one of their harmonic excursions, you can hear John's voice drop out when something apparently catches in his throat, and I could swear that you can hear Paul McCartney react to it with a little laugh. If their voices sound warm, sweet, and transparent on this track, at the very least you have a contender, and possibly a winner. Not many pressings are going to bring out all the qualities of their voices.
I’m Happy Just to Dance With You
And I Love Her
Tell Me Why
Can’t Buy Me Love
Side Two
Any Time at All
I’ll Cry Instead Track Commentary
This track has a tendency to sound a bit aggressive on even the best copies. Those with extended highs and a tonally correct midrange are really going to excel on this track.
Things We Said Today Track Commentary
This track is really rich and full-bodied on the best copies. It's got a tubey magic that is very intoxicating.
When I Get Home Track Commentary
Another one with a lot of potentially aggressive qualities. If you can play this song good and loud, you must have an excellent copy. (More cowbell!)
You Can’t Do That Track Commentary
One of the Greatest Cowbell Songs of All Time. It doesn't get much better than this, folks.
