Brief Album Description:
A Hard Day's Night is the third studio album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 10 July 1964, with side one containing
songs from the soundtrack to their film A Hard Day's Night. The American version of the album was released two weeks earlier, on 26
June 1964 by United Artists Records, with a different track listing. In contrast to their first two albums, all 13 tracks on A Hard
Day's Night were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney showcasing the development of their songwriting talents. The album includes
the title track, with its distinct opening chord, and the previously released "Can't Buy Me Love", both transatlantic number-one singles
for the band. The title of the album was the accidental creation of drummer Ringo Starr. According to Lennon in a 1980 interview with
Playboy magazine: "I was going home in the car and Dick Lester [director of the movie] suggested the title, 'Hard Day's Night' from
something Ringo had said. I had used it in 'In His Own Write', but it was an off-the-cuff remark by Ringo. You know, one of those
malapropisms. A Ringo-ism, where he said it not to be funny ... just said it. So Dick Lester said, 'We are going to use that title.'
