Questions

How many vinyl pressings of A Hard Day's Night are there?

590 vinyl pressings of A Hard Day's Night are listed here, from 51 countries, released between 1964 and 2024.

When was A Hard Day's Night first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1964, in UK, Australia, Peru, Spain and more. One of them is Parlophone PCS 3058, released June 10, 1964.

How do I tell if my copy of A Hard Day's Night is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PCS 3058, PMC 1230, PMCO 1230, MOCL 122) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is A Hard Day's Night on vinyl worth?

It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
