Somebody took a shot on this 4th pressing UK Stereo Parlophone copy of A Hard Day's Night.  Not the $499.99 jackpot I got 7 or so years back for Beatles For Sale that came from the same used bin together with Rubber Soul before the CD era.  Nice UK copies since I had all the US ones.

Since every studio Beatles album is an A+, I'm not going to bother to get into nuts and bolts.  My favorite of the day? "When I Get Home."  Historically I guess "If I Fell," "Any Time At All" and of course the title track were my toppermost of the poppermost for this lineup.  And you don't have George Martin's incidental music to interrupt anything!

Not that I really mind the incidental music...

"And when finally the bottom fell out I became withdrawn..." Bob's public precursor to his own divorce has taken a strange turn in the public narrative over the years, whether reflecting domestic tranquility or turbulence.   Beyonc é  might tell you she flips pancakes or boils an egg to Blood On The Tracks on a Sunday morning.  Jakob Dylan might rail that ...
