Back cover DOES NOT feature HER MAJESTY in track listing
Cover is pasted on slick with enlarged art
"ABBEY ROAD" (RELEASED OCTOBER 1, 1969) WAS THE FIRST BEATLES ALBUM IN AMERICA PACKAGED WITH PRINT-ON-BOARD COVERS. THESE COVERS INVOLVED THE PROCESS OF PRINTING THE COVER IMAGE DIRECTLY ONTO WHITE POSTER BOARD, WHICH IS THEN FOLDED AND GLUED TO FORM THE ALBUM JACKET. THE PREVIOUS BEATLES ALBUM COVERS WERE CONSTRUCTED BY AFFIXING SEPARATELY PRINTED SLICKS TO CARDBOARD JACKETS. THE NEW PRINT-ON-BOARD COVERS WERE A SUPERIOR LOOKING PACKAGE. ANOTHER ADVANTAGE WAS THAT THESE COVERS WERE MANUFACTURED BY ONE COMPANY, WHEREAS THE OLDER STYLE COVERS INVOLVED BOTH A PRINTER AND AN ALBUM FABRICATOR. CAPITOL DOCUMENTS INDICATE THAT THE ALBUM'S ARTWORK WAS SHIPPED ON SEPTEMBER 11,1969.
COVER #3: AS STATED ABOVE, "ABBEY ROAD" COVERS ENDED UP BEING THE ONLY BEATLES ALBUM TO HAVE PRINT-ON-BOARD COVERS UPON ITS INITIAL RELEASE. ALTHOUGH CAPITOL WAS PLEASED WITH THE PRINT-ON-BOARD JACKETS, FUTURE DECISIONS REGARDING THE MASTERING, PACKAGING AND ADVERTISING OF APPLE RELEASES WERE HANDLED DIRECTLY BY APPLE BY VERY LOYAL INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD A LONG-STANDING RELATIONSHIP WITH QUEENS LITHO AND SELECTED THEM AGAIN TO BE THE PRIMARY PRINTER OF COVER SLICKS FOR FUTURE BEATLES ALBUMS STARTING WITH "HEY JUDE".
