COMMENTS		The front and back covers to A Hard Days Night are essentially the same as the original issue, but have the Capitol dome logo instead of the UA logo and have no banner. All covers and labels have I'll Cry Instead. 1983 Capitol rainbow band label with rim text inside colorband. There were 2 80s Black Capitol rainbow band label variations. The one was pressed 1983-1985 at Capitol's Jacksonville plant as identified by a "0" in the matrix runout. Both sides stamped MASTERED BY CAPITOL. On some pressings that stamp is only on one of the sides. The label has a dull label finish and has the classic 1" diameter inner-ring notch that surrounds the spindle hole. The vinyl is a little more firm than the SRC pressings, and some pressings are translucent (hold the disc up to a bright light and you can seed through it). The other pressing, 1986-87, were pressed at Specialty Record Corporation (The large S surrounding R and C stamped in the run-out), also identified by smooth indent/notch approx 3/4" from edge of label and glossy finish. The SRC pressings also have more etching data on the run-out. The vinyl is a little more flexible/bendy than the Capitol pressings. (from Discogs) As with all prior stereo pressings, the Beatles tracks are in re-channeled mono, the instrumentals are in true stereo. Runouts are etched with "MASTERED BY CAPITOL" and Jacksonville "O" stamped. J. LEMAY: John Patrick LeMay Engineer and producer known to have worked at Capitol Mastering and Paradise Studios, Grand Lake Of The Cherokees.
