A Hard Day's Night is the third UK album by The Beatles, released on 10 July 1964 as the soundtrack to their first film of the same name on Parlophone in mono (catalogue number PMC 1230) and stereo (PCS 3058.) The album, their fourth U.S. release, was released on 26 June 1964 by United Artists Records with a different tracklisting.


While showcasing the development of the band's songwriting talents, the album sticks to the basic rock and roll instrumentation and song format. It is notable as the first Beatles album to feature entirely original compositions (and the only one with a song catalog credited entirely to Lennon/McCartney). The album contains some of their most famous songs, including the title track (with its distinct, instantly recognizable opening chord) and "Can't Buy Me Love", both being transatlantic number one singles for the band. The album and film are said to portray the classic image of the Beatles, as it was released at the height of Beatlemania.

George Harrison's resonant 12-string electric guitar leads were hugely influential; the movie helped persuade the Byrds, then folksingers, to plunge all out into rock & roll, and the Beatles (along with Bob Dylan) would be hugely influential on the folk-rock explosion of 1965. The Beatles' success, too, had begun to open the U.S. market for fellow Brits like the Rolling Stones, the Animals, and the Kinks, and inspired young American groups like the Beau Brummels, Lovin' Spoonful, and others to mount a challenge of their own with self-penned material that owed a great debt to Lennon-McCartney. The title of the album (and of the film) is said to have been the accidental creation of drummer Ringo Starr, though the phrase is used in John Lennon's contemporary book In His Own Write and was reputedly used at least once by him during the Hamburg era.

Side one of the LP contains the songs from the movie soundtrack. Side two contains songs written for, but not included in, the film, although a 1980s re-release of the movie includes a prologue before the opening credits with "I'll Cry Instead" on the soundtrack. This is also the first Beatles album to be recorded on four-track tape, allowing for good stereo mixes. Despite this, the 1987 Compact Disc release of this album is currently available only in mono, though many of the tracks appeared in stereo on CD for the first time with the release of the boxset The Capitol Albums, Volume 1 in 2004. "A Hard Day's Night" and "Can't Buy Me Love" both appear in stereo on the 1962–1966 compilation. "I Should Have Known Better" and "You Can't Do That" have yet to be released in true stereo on CD. In 2000, Q placed A Hard Day's Night at number five in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2003, the album was ranked number 388 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. This album will finally be reissued in stereo on CD on 9 September 2009. ... wikipedia

Hello and thanks for your upload. I must say, that I've found in each of your postings mistakes - that is for MFSL and us very terrible. I found such mistakes in "Please, please me" (Boys - at 2:00), "With the Beatles" (You Really Got A Hold On Me at 1:24) and so on.
Can you fix please this mistakes? The Sound is very good.

Many thanks rsfoto for your uploads. I didn't knew better start that Beatles MFSL in 24/96. But, Please. Please Me, With The Beatles and Rubber Soul, in fact, are in glorious Mono.

many thanks. in my oppinion in thos rip the bass and middle sounds better, in the high it is not so bright, but over all it sounds rounder and more full, compared to the DESS cd posten on avax.

look forward to the two fixed track! thanks once more rsfoto!!!

@ rohitbhalla - Bad tracks mentioned by @mecking are fixed. See PPM and WTB posts.
Posted By: rohitbhalla Date: 29 Jul 2009 09:32:59
thank you so much. am downloading the WTB now [the bigger size flacs] and have downloaded Boys - absolutely brilliant posts! September 9 - i am going to get the Mono Box which has mini lp packaging and very true to the original vinyl packaging. Also the records were originally in Mono. Stereo box has dynamic compression as recorded on the forums while mono box has no dynamic compression at all and exactly what i want. Stereo and Mono boxes both will surface on Avax anyway in lossless but i really want to hold the mono mini lp box and enjoy the packaging. wish they had done the same quality treatment for the stereo box which is digipacks and not mini lps and dynamically compressed.

Hey rsfoto,
Thanks for your Beatles posts... I just have one question: If A Hard Day's Night is in stereo (regardless of the fact that it is barely 30 mins), how come the file size is only 375 Mb as mentioned above?
Posted By: layoutpad Date: 29 Jul 2009 13:40:53
Thanks for the great beatles. I've compared the Dr. Ebbetts versions with these vinyl recordings (Mac G5/apogee Duet D/A converter through highly modded Sansui 990db w/JBL 4412A speakers-files at full strength).
I prefer the warm smoother sound w/less sybillence of the vinyl. The Dr. Ebbetts are indeed brighter and more "open" but I guess it's all up to personal preference.

Thanks so much for these great Beatles albums. Looking forward to upgrading my collection with the rest of them.

@kingn

Oops, I goofed again. I transposed the numbers when i typed the post. The four RAR's are 735.2. The archives and FLAC's are the right size and are stereo. Just the listing was wrong this time.
