Description

The Beatles 1967–1970 UK Apple pressing (BBC Gramophone Library copy) with matrix numbers:

• Side One: YEX 909-3

• Side Two: YEX 910-6

• Side Three: YEX 911-7

• Side Four: YEX 912-6


This is a mid-1970s pressing, notable for its blue Apple labels with the BBC’s proprietary library marks

• Vinyl pressed in the UK by EMI for Apple Records

• Part of a rare set of Beatles LPs circulated within the BBC’s in-house Gramophone Library for broadcast, review, or archival purposes

• This provenance adds historical and collectible interest beyond standard pressings


Condition (Visual):

• Vinyl: VG to VG+ across sides (some light visible scuffs/sleeve wear, no major gouges)

• Sleeve: Good to VG-; visible edge wear, taped spine, laminated front intact with archival stickers and log sheets present



Please understand that this is an official UK archival record from the British Broadcasting Corporation and the sleeve(s) may contain archival stickers from the BBC. Some of these stickers are 'on top' of the plastic with some 'underneath' (i.e. on the sleeve itself). Some sleeves have been 'laminated' either by way of 'punching' the plastic wallet to two parts of the sleeve or by fully wrapping the plastic to the sleeve. Where sleeves are laminated stickers can be removed with the use of appropriate sticker removal fluids however it is unlikely that stickers can be removed from any sleeves that are not laminated. The sleeves as such in this collection are generally graded as VG with the records often VG+ to Ex+.
