FROM MY OWN COLLECTION!

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE BEATLES!!! 

DUE TO A LACK OF SPACE AND THE REALISATION THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO PLAY THE MAJORITY OF MY HUGE COLLECTION,I AM PRUNING DOWN SELECTED ITEMS.

AN ORIGINAL 1ST EDITION FROM 1970 OF THE SOUL ALBUM ISSUED ON THE BEATLES APPLE LABEL .  

INCLUDES 4 SONGS WRITTEN BY GEORGE HARRISON WHO ALSO PLAYED ON THE LP AND CO-PRODUCED THE SESSIONS WITH BILLY PRESTON.

A STAND OUT TRACK IS A VERSION OF THE GEORGE HARRISON SONG"MY SWEET LORD"!!!!!! WONDERFUL AND HIGHLY ORIGINAL GOSPEL STYLED INTERPRETATION!!!!

THICK PRESSINGS different to the LATER THINNER REISSUES from 22 years later-This OVERLOOKED LP pressed within the first few months of issue from 1970 when Beatlemania was still at it's International height allowing them to indulge themselves with favourite artists on their own label!

A 1st PRESSING FROM 38 YEARS AGO! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN NEAR MINT/BARELY BEEN PLAYED AND THAT IS BEING STRICT!

IT WAS OWNED BY A REVIEWER BEFORE ME! TWO OWNERS SINCE 1970!A BRILLIANT OPPORTUNITY!

ONLY  FAINT SURFACE MARKS THAT DO NOT SOUND DUE TO COVER REMOVAL!

NO SURFACE NOISE! 

NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO DISTORTION!

A COPY THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED ONLY A FEW TIMES!!!!! 

IN 1970 THE APPLE LABEL ALBUMS BY NON-BEATLES ARTISTS WERE NOT BIG SELLERS AND WERE DELETED WITHIN A YEAR OR SO AND MOST COPIES ON EBAY ARE AMERICAN ISSUES-WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE A BRITISH ONE AND AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE??!!!!!!

The mixes are Warm and full of bass.

By 1970 Most fans who bought this album were using cheaper stereo equipment which was becoming available but not always kind to the vinyl or using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds.

The VINYL mixes are far punchier than the rather flat ones on the CDs that have come out!

  Vinyl is still the best way to hear vintage music and always will be!  

GREAT SOLID SOUND!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

There is NO spindle wear.  

Look elsewhere on ebay and MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues/Imports or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN A VERY STRONG NEAR MINT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "MINT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.MANY DEALERS WOULD CONSIDER STATING  MINT! 

THE GLOSSY  COVER HAS SOME MINOR CREASES  AT THE EDGES BUT NO WRITING/RIPS or REPAIRS!!!!!

ORIGINAL BLACK INNER SLEEVE.

AN ADDITIONAL POLYLINED INNER AND PVC OUTER COVER WILL BE SUPPLIED AND AS ALWAYS I REMOVE THE DISC FROM THE COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY!

PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS. 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic  £20 STARTING price with no annoying reserve.
