🧠 COLLECTOR NOTES
This is the true first U.S. Apple pressing distinguished by the orange Apple labels on LPs 1 & 2, the green Apple Jam labels on LP 3, and heavy box construction.
Later 1970s reissues feature all-green labels and thinner boxes.
A historically important, fully complete example of Harrison’s magnum opus.
