Story & Background
This first 1964 Parlophone pressing of *A Hard Day's Night* is a tangible witness to a period of extraordinary and feverish creativity. Recorded in an incredibly short space of time – almost simultaneously with the filming of the eponymous movie – the album represents a momentous turning point: it is The Beatles' first record entirely composed of original Lennon-McCartney tracks, an achievement almost unheard of at the time for a band of such success. The need to provide fresh material for the film pushed the duo to unprecedented prolificacy, with songs like "Can't Buy Me Love" and the title track written and recorded under intense pressure. The famous chordal opening of the track "A Hard Day's Night" itself, a mystery for decades among musicians and sound engineers, has become legendary, a symbol of the innovation that permeated even the most minute details of this pop-rock milestone, making this edition an indispensable item for every collector.
