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."

*137g-QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL*
VG-.
Lovely vinyl, but she does carry some needle marks to her....When playing her all the way through, I noticed a wonderfull deep and rich audio for the majority of playback.
I found a revolutionary pop during the transition and the start of Sun King, as well as a stick on Polythene Pam....Maybe a slightly heavier stylus/arm than my Focus One deck-fitted with an SME IV arm and audio Technica stylus, will play over this.
There is some light background crackle but I just thought it reminded me I am listening to a slab of ORIGINAL vinyl from 1969 and not a CD!
Rich deep audio with high peaks and deep bass.But also sticks-as described on that one song-the majority of the album is wonderfully rich and clear.....So at the very least she would make a good filler.
WOULD FRAME VERY WELL
Labels:
VG+.
Spindle marks-evident when angling towards the light. With a small amount of central hole wear and needle marks to the side 1 label....Nothing bad at all-please see the detailed images for yourselves.
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.
The last song credit DOES NOT HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.
Cover:
VG-.
The cover of this LP is lovely and clean.
The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is inline with the text.
