Fantastic 1969 Beatles UK LP. This was the Beatles' 12th LP, released on the 26th September. It was also the last official Beatles release that was recorded by them. Staying at number one for almost 18 consecutive weeks, it was only knocked off by The Rolling Stones' "Let It Bleed."

QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT 146g VINYL
EX!
 Lovely FLAT & SHINY vinyl.
She only carries one or two incredibly light marks-however, I did not find these to have any impact on audio playback as the audio was wonderfully rich, clear and glorious throughout.
After I cleaned her on my Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record cleaner I had the utter joy of listening to her-all the way through....LOUDLY ;)
Wonderfully rich and exactly as The Beatles wanted you to hear them, back in '69!
The Bass was deep and the highs were lovely and clear.
Almost ZERO background noise!!-not even noticable inbetween tracks or in the run-ins...WOW!
I even noticed a snare I had not heard before on You Never Give Me Your Money...fantastic :) !

CERTAINLY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS ON MY FOCUS ONE DECK WITH A  LIGHT, PRECISION SMK ARM WITH AN AUDIO TECHNICA STYLUS FITTED.


Labels:
EX+.
 There are just very light spindle marks, seen when angled towards the light and looking hard for them!...With barely any central hole wear....really nothing to worry about at all.
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED
  NO "Sold in the UK..." text.
Outer text begins: "Apple Records all rights.."
"Mfd. in U.K." text. The labels are nice and vibrant.
This is the 1st pressing DARKER version of this Apple label.
Has the '33 1/3' to the extreem left.
The last song credit DOES HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.
NO WRITING.
WOULD FRAME WELL.


Cover:
EX!
The cover of this LP is the rarer cover; with the alignment of the Apple Logo on the back NOT being inline with the text.
The spine remains lovely and strong, as well as legible.
There is only around 8 crescents of spidering to the front laminate, as well as a just a few fingers of spidering to seams.
The back laminate has 3 small crescents of spidering near the opening..Certainly nothing at all to worry about.

*WOULD FRAME INCREDIBLY WELL*
The corners remain strong with just VERY light rubbing.
NO SPLITS-NO WRITING.

 The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is OUT OF LINE with the text.
*FRAME THIS BEAUTY*


Inner:
EX+/NMint!
 ORIGINAL  inner.
This one is in TOP condition.
"MADE IN ENGLAND" die-cut, white inner.
There isn't even ANY discolouration to the paper!
SUPERB.
NO SPLITS.
NO WRITING.
Certainly done her job in keeping this very early slab of vinyl in tip-top condition!



THIS IS AN, EXCELLENT,  COMPLETE & COLLECTABLE PIECE WITH THE RARER COVER, VERY 1ST PRESSING VINYL AND ORIGINAL INNER IN NEAR MINT CONDITION..
SOUNDS SUPERB AND LOOKS MAGICAL TOO.
