DESCRIPTION (ACTUAL IMAGES) FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES IS VERY PROUD TO PRESENT THIS TRULY STUNNING STEREO PRESSING OF "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT", THAT INCLUDES THE ADDITION OF THE MEGA-RARE ORIGINAL 2¼" DIAMETER ROUND ORANGE HYPE STICKER STATING "INCLUDES RINGO'S THEME (THIS BOY) / AND I LOVE HER" IN BLACK UPPERCASE LETTERS STILL ADHERED ONTO THE FRONT OF THE ALBUM COVER. THIS UNITED ARTISTS HYPE STICKER IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL BEATLES LP ALBUM HYPE STICKERS EVER ISSUED IN THE U.S. WHEN THEY HAVE EMERGED, THESE STICKERS HAVE BEEN FOUND EITHER ON THE SHRINKWRAP OR ADHERED DIRECTLY TO THE COVER. THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE HAS THE STICKER ADHERED ONTO THE SHRINKWRAP, AND REMAINS IN VIBRANT, BOLD NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE STEREO COVER IS THE SECOND ISSUED BACK COVER CONTAINING THE "4 LINE PUBLISHING CREDITS". THIS CHANGE FROM THE FIRST "3 LINE PUBLISHING CREDITS" BACK COVER LINERS WAS MADE AROUND JUNE 29, 1964 WHEN UA LEARNED IT DID NOT HAVE A PUBLISHING INTEREST IN "I CRY INSTEAD" (SIC) BECAUSE THE SONG WAS DROPPED FROM THE FILM (UA6366.SC2, SPIZER). THE COVER REMAINS IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINKWRAP AND GRADED AT A GORGEOUS NEAR MINT. NO SPLITS, NO RINGWEAR, AND THE GRAPHICS ARE BOLD WITH STRIKING COLORS ON BOTH SIDES. THE SPINE IS SOLID AND COMPLETELY LEGIBLE. MINOR FLAWS INCLUDE Very slight rubbing at the top and bottom spine corners and very slight rubbing at top opening corner. OTHERWISE, IT IS DEFINITELY EVIDENT THAT THIS COVER HAS BEEN PROPERLY STORED OVER THE YEARS, ALONG WITH THE RECORD. THE ACCOMPANYING RECORD IS A COLUMBIA RECORDS VARIATION, PRESSED AT ITS FACTORY IN PITMAN, NEW JERSEY, OR POSSIBLY IN BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT. THESE PRESSINGS CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY A THIN 2 11/16" DIAMETER RING LOCATED 1 3/16" FROM THE CENTER SPINDLE HOLE. THE SONG TITLES AND RUNNING TIMES ARE NOT LEFT OR RIGHT JUSTIFIED, BUT RATHER ARE POSITIONED TO CONFIRM WITH THE CIRCULAR BAND. AS ON ALL COLUMBIA RECORDS PRESSINGS, THEY HAVE THE INITIAL LABELS PRINTED FOR THE ALBUM WITH THE INCORRECT SONG TITLE AS "I CRY INSTEAD", (UA6366.SR1A, SPIZER). THE RECORD IS ASTONISHING AND IMPECCABLE. THE VINYL GRADES A STELLAR AND PRISTINE MINT MINUS "AS NEW" UNPLAYED. THE GROOVES AND ORIGINAL SHEEN OF THIS VINYL ARE STILL RETAINED IN ALL ITS SHIMMERING BEAUTY. THE ORIGINAL UNITED ARTISTS INNER DUST SLEEVE IS ALSO INCLUDED AND GRADES A SOLID NEAR MINT.
