One other oddity I did not know about is that the name of the album is not shown anywhere on the side 2 labels. (Actually, with one exception. On the 1981 mono pressing (starting at 9:47), both sides are labeled as 'A HARD DAY'S NIGHT', whereas on all other pressings side 1 is labeled as 'Songs from the film "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT"', and side 2 does not reference the album title at all.) The Discogs entries have photos showing that recent pressings do not reference the album name on side 2 either. www.discogs.com/The-Beatles-A-Hard-Days-Night/release/4036879 www.discogs.com/The-Beatles-A-Hard-Days-Night/release/6074075
Hi, Brent! I never actually noticed that the album title appears on both sides of the 1981 mono pressing, or that it omits the "Songs from the Film" before the album title; excellent observation. I always thought it was quite unusual that the album title only ever appeared on Side 1, although I assumed this to be because the songs on Side 2 didn't all appear in the film like those on Side 1. Thanks for watching, take care!
I love your informative and very addictive films but I have to ask you how on earth you manage to source and pay for these amazing records? Are you a millionaire or what?!!
Thank you so much! That's a perfectly reasonable question. I am able to source the records because I am fortunate enough to live close to several record shops that have excellent selections of Beatles vinyl, although ebay plays a big part too. As far as payment goes, both me and my Dad collect Beatles vinyl and we have built this collection together. We certainly are not millionaires (unforunately, haha!) this is just the result of several years of dedication. Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Take care! : )

So which versions are the best sounding? since you have so many to compare..
How do you identify the very first press? I could not pick that out from your excellent video. Thanks for posting the valuable insights.
