The Beatles have announced a special 60th anniversary reissue of their third studio album A Hard Day’s Night, in celebration of National Album Day. The limited-edition reissue on 180g White Vinyl will be released on October 19th.
 
At a time when popstars either spoke BBC English or tried to emulate the American rockers they so​ idolised, there was no hiding where The Beatles – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison &​ Ringo Starr – came from: they sang, as they spoke, in a Liverpool accent. Although the demands of​ the music business meant they soon had to relocate to London, in many ways they never left their city​ – in song and in story, the group are inextricably, indelibly linked to Merseyside.
Recorded between January and June 1964 and released that July, if ever there was a pointer to what​ an album could achieve, it's the 13 songs and 31 minutes of A Hard Day's Night, the third long-player​ by the Beatles. It is the sound of a group with the wind in its hair, the confidence that their hard work​ was paying off. The (partial) soundtrack to their first film, at a time when an LP was a collection of​ recent singles and cover versions, A Hard Day’s Night was penned solely by Lennon & McCartney.Can’t Buy Me Love, the first track from the forthcoming album to be released, topped the US and UK​ charts in April 1964.
 
In the 476 days since the release of their debut LP, Please Please Me in March 1963, The Beatles​ had gone from local to national to international phenomenon. A Hard Day’s Night, both the beloved​ 1964 film directed by Richard Lester and the album, captured that rocket in a bottle. With songs about​ working men going home to their loved ones (the title track, When I Get Home); the exhilaration of​ early love (I Should Have Known Better, If I Fell, And I Love Her, I’m Happy Just To Dance With You);​ the ups and downs of relationships (I’ll Cry Instead, Tell Me Why, You Can’t Do That) and, already, a​ strong sense of time (Things We Said Today), on A Hard Day’s Night, Lennon & McCartney put words​ in the mouths of teenagers around the world.
