Description
This is a rare, hard-to-find UK 1969 first edition pressing of The Beatles’ ABBEY ROAD LP. This specific release is even more rare, due to some misprints and variations. Please see the details below from Discogs about the unique and special characteristics of this particular version:
DISCOGS
This release has a misaligned Apple Records logo on the back and does not list "Her Majesty" on either cover or B side label. The front cover photo is more tightly cropped than on other releases, showing less sky (noticeable over the roof tops right) and less of the drainage grating bottom right. The fully laminated sleeve has arrow spines.
Small Ⓟ on labels.
B5 appears as "Mean Mr Mustard" on cover, but as "Mean Mr. Mustard" on label.
[Back cover]:
An E.M.I. Recording. Thanks to George Martin, Geoff Emerick and Phillip McDonald

CONDITION
This is from my mom’s personal collection, which she purchased while growing up in London and brought with us when we moved to the USA. So, it’s going from the sole/original owner to YOUR home library. It has been carefully stored in a climate-controlled environment all these years.
This is a 60 year-old title—so the vinyl, itself, shows signs of regular use. But there are no deep scratches or damage that should affect playback. And the cover is in EXCELLENT shape—as you’ll see in the pictures.
FINAL NOTE:
I’ve been on eBay since 1997, with a flawless history. I’m proud of that reputation and history and plan on maintaining the same level of excellence. Please be assured that your record purchase will be professionally and carefully packaged and shipped out to you the same or next Business Day, and I’ll provide status updates each step of the way.
If, for unforeseen circumstances, the record arrives damaged and doesn’t play properly OR does not match the description, I’ll be happy to refund your order. With that stated, please realize this is a USED record and not being presented as MINT/NEAR MINT. And I’ve priced it competitively, because of this. Again, please refer to the pictures.
Happy to answer any questions, and I look forward to doing business with you!
