A Hard Day's Night

A Hard Day's Night is the third studio album by the British group The Beatles, originally released in 1964, and Jugoton's licensed edition brought this important album closer to the domestic audience. It is the group's first album, which is composed entirely of original songs by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and represents a turning point in their creativity.

The album was created as a soundtrack for the film of the same name A Hard Day's Night and shows the Beatles in the period of their greatest early popularity, known as Beatlemania. The record contains some of the most famous songs from that period, including the title track A Hard Day's Night, followed by I Should Have Known Better, If I Fell, And I Love Her, Can't Buy Me Love, Tell Me Why, Things We Said Today and I'll Be Back.

Musically, the album brings an energetic mix of rock and roll, pop melodies and polyphonic vocals, with the band members becoming more and more mature as authors. Lennon's compositions with distinctive rhythmic guitars and McCartney's melodic ballads, which became a trademark of the early Beatles, stand out in particular.

Jugoton's release had great importance for music lovers in Yugoslavia at the time because it made available one of the key albums of the most popular band of the sixties. Today, A Hard Day's Night, published by Jugoton, is an interesting collector's item that represents an important part of the history of domestic discography and world rock.
