Description

Abbey Road by the Beatles.


PCS 7088.

YEX 749 2/YEX 750 1


Rare UK first pressing to the best of my knowledge. These are generally the most sought out copies of this classic disk.


Firstly, the record:


Visually very nice. Superficial hair lines on both sides with a small slightly deeper dink on side A (see picture 10). The labels have a little spindle wear on them but are really pretty nice otherwise. I've had it professionally cleaned so it's lovely & shiny.


I have play tested this record (no *visual testing only* nonsense) & it generally sounds gorgeous -upfront & bright just like the sixties stereo pressings should be. The run ins are lovely & quiet too. However the knock on side A does cause a couple of clicks followed by a short skip on I Want You. This is the only reason for the low starting price.


Secondly, the sleeve:


Generally of a lovely standard. Clean & unmarked with a razor sharp spine & nicely defined corners. A little foxing here & there & light edge wear but nothing too offensive. The pictures tell a thousand words.


Further notes:


No Her Majesty on sleeve nor label;


Misaligned Apple on the sleeve.


John is 121 mm tall on the sleeve - taller than usual. I had no idea about this until half an hour ago but my friendly local record dealer tells me that means it's a very early copy.


In summary- a nice copy of a rare collectable.


Offers welcome.


I post promptly and securely second class to keep costs down and I sometimes use recycled packaging.


Polite disclaimer:


If you don't have the means to pay for a bid within 48 hours of sale then please let me know before bidding.


Also if you intend making an offer but you have further questions about the items for sale, then you should ask them *prior to making that offer. By making an offer you are committed to the sale should the retailer accept it as per eBay terms and conditions. Sorry to have to mention this but I've suffered some frankly rotten buying etiquette recently.


Domestic or GSP buyers only please.


Check out my feedback, bid with confidence, & thanks for looking
