Initial numbered edition with top opening G & L gatefold sleeve, black inners, poster & 4 colour prints, dark green Apple labels with Ⓟ & "Sold In The UK...." text.This was released in error omitting the text 'E.M.I.

About this copy:

Please look carefully at all photos, zoom in etc. , to get a full picture of what it looks like...it sounds fab!

A complete set, plays great,  - low '00' start number; great mono sound.

  • Matrix / Runout (Side A runout, variant 1): XEX 709-1
  • Matrix / Runout (Side B runout, variant 1): XEX 710-1
  • Matrix / Runout (Side C runout, variant 1): XEX 711-1
  • Matrix / Runout (Side D runout, variant 1): XEX 712-1

The Sleeve - Gateflod, top opening, low number '0040794', has slight discolouration on top edge and light edgewear, a little creasing here and there, very clean and shiny. Inside gatefold there are some light marks, but again very clean. The spine has some laminate lifting but is legible - I have graded  VG+, but it is close to excellent in my opinion. Please see all the photos.

The inner sleeves: - Very light fraying - NO SPLITS, do not look like they have been used much...

The poster and portrait pictures: - both have a little foxing, no pin holes and a very rare SPACER included!

The Labels: - No major marks or writing on all 4 labels, some very light spindle marks from past usage 

The Vinyl: - All 4 sides display age related usage marks, nothing dramatic, needle drops and hairlines... LP2 has 2 or 3 slightly more noticeable ones, not deep though; there is no real impact on playback, no jumps, no sticks, no loud pops, just occasional crackle - still a great listen!

Matrix 709-1, 710-1, 711-1, 712-1Mother/Stamper:5 GM, 7 GL , 1R , 2R


The Listening Experience: - side one = light crackle in some run ins, excellent; 

side two = a pop near the end, very light crackle in places, excellent; 

side three = hardly any background noise, excellent; 

side four = same as three, excellent!
