  DESCRIPTION

(ACTUAL IMAGES)

FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES PROUDLY OFFERS THIS VERY RARE FACTORY SEALED ORIGINAL MONAURAL PRESSING OF '"A HARD DAY'S NIGHT" ALBUM IN GORGEOUS CONDITION. IT IS INDEED A TRULY INCREDIBLE SEALED EXAMPLE OF THE BEATLES' CLASSIC NUMBER ONE SOUNDTRACK ALBUM. THIS IS THE FIRST SEALED MONO COPY OF THIS LP WE'VE OFFERED FOR QUITE A NUMBER OF YEARS. THIS TITLE IS INCREDIBLY RARE TO FIND SEALED AND ONE OF THE MOST DEMANDED AMONG COLLECTORS.

THIS EXAMPLE IS THE CORRECTED VARIATION WITH THE 4 LINE PUBLISHING CREDITS ON BACK COVER (UA3366.MC2, SPIZER). THE REVISED PRINT STATES "ALL SONGS PUBLISHED BY MACLEN MUSIC, INC. AND UNART MUSIC CORP. (BMI) EXCEPT "THIS BOY" AND "I CRY INSTEAD" WHICH ARE PUBLISHED BY MACLEN MUSIC, INC. (BMI)". THIS CHANGE WAS MADE ON JUNE 29, 1964 (THREE DAYS FOLLOWING THE INITIAL RELEASE DATE) WHEN UNITED ARTISTS LEARNED IT DID NOT HAVE A PUBLISHING INTEREST IN "I CRY INSTEAD" BECAUSE THE SONG WAS DROPPED FROM THE FILM.

6 FACTORY SHRINK "BREATH HOLES" (3 ON FRONT, 3 ON BACK) ARE EVIDENT. IT HAS A BEAUTIFUL EXTREMELY TIGHT SEAL CORNER TO CORNER WITH COMPLETE WRAP ALL AROUND WITH NO TEARS OR RIPS, AND ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP. THE GRAPHICS AND RED BACKGROUND ARE BOLD AND CRISP. THE WHITES ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN. THE SPINE HAS A HINT OF FADING, BUT THE DARK PRINT IS ALL THERE AND LEGIBLY CLEAR.

ALSO PRESENT ON THE BACK COVER IN THE LOWER RIGHT AREA IS THE NUMBER "5", INDICATING IT WAS MANUFACTURED ON THE WEST COAST AND MOST LIKELY A H.V. WADDELL PRESSING FROM BURBANK, CALIFORNIA.

THE COVER ALSO RETAINS THE ORIGINAL PRICE STICKER INTACT ON THE FRONT SHRINK FROM "WHITE FRONT" DEPARTMENT STORE AND PRICE MARKED AT $2.78.  White Front was a chain of discount stores in Southern California and the western United States from 1959 through the mid-1970's. They were noted for the architecture of their store fronts (SEE PHOTO OF STORE BELOW) which was an enormous, sweeping archway with the store name spelled out in individual letters fanned across the top.

ACCOMPANIED BY LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY FROM PERRY COX, BEATLES U.S. RECORDS EXPERT, AUTHOR OF "THE BEATLES RECORD PRICE GUIDE" SERIES OF BOOKS.
