Description
This is a lovely UK first pressing of The Beatle's 'Abbey Road' LP on the Apple label. The laminated Garrod &Lofhouse printed sleeve is in lovely EXCELLENT PLUS condition, would be closer to MINT were it not for one light crease to the laminate on the rear of the sleeve. Otherwise it's quite perfect. This copy has the apple logo aligned to the song titles. The dark green labels carry both the 'Manufactured in UK' and 'an EMI recording' credits. They are lovely and clean with just a few spidertrails visible to Side 1. There is no 'Her Majesty' credit on this copy. The vinyl is gorgeous with a newly pressed look and just a few light hairlines visible only under very bright light, graded MINT MINUS. Playback is wonderful, barely even the lightest of background crackle even between tracks, there are no faults of any kind to report, it sounds amazing, like a brand new LP. Comes with its original black die-cut inner which is in EXCELLENT condition, there are a few tears near the centre hole which appear to have been very carefully repaired. A lovely copy all round of this classic LP.
Matrix info- Side 1: YEX 749-2, stampers RRM(& M scratched out) at 7 o'clock, 5 at 12. Side 2: YEX 750-1, GTH at 9, 5 at 4
I have been a collector for any years and a now selling most of my vinyl to fund a change of career. All records are thoroughly cleaned on my ClearAudio Smart Matrix machine and then carefully played on a Rega Planar 3 deck with Goldring cartridge. I use strict RC gradings with plus and minus to indicate variation and all records are sent out in professional mailers. I offer a full refund minus return postage should you not be satisfied with how I've graded a record.
