" SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS." statement was printed at the center of the label. This issue has “Songs From The Film “A Hard Day’s Night” title credits on the side-1 only. Side 2 of the Stereo "A Hard Day's Night" mastering was re-cut in the 1960s as "YEX 127-2" but was withdrawn almost instantly as the pressing plates went into production. It has been noted that there's a cutting error which is present on this LP; The drum crack that opens "Any Time At All" on the -2 cutting is partially missing at the very beginning. This may have been an error with the cutting tape or a mistake on the lathe it was cut with, but the song doesn't play as it normally should on any other matrix of this album. EMI quickly noticed this problem, stopped pressing with the -2 plates and reverted back to their -1 plates, a cutting which lasted all the way into the early 1970s on "Two Box EMI" pressings. For context, the only time these LPs ever come up for sale, they all have the same Side 2 Stamper, that being 1 AH. The 37th stamper from the very first mother, with either 2 MA or 34 OT as Side 1. From that, we can guess that only one stamper of the -2 Side 2 matrix had even been used before they were pulled from production again.
