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."

Vinyl:
143g-QUALITY VINYL
VG
Good quality vinyl, but with many light marks to her, which are superficial and only VERY occasionally heard on playback: I noticed some occasional soft pops in some small and only occasional sections but I found these were nothing to worry about..I heard around 3 pops at the end of 'Because'..When playing her all the way through, I noticed a wonderfull deep and rich audio reproduction free from sticks but I did find a skip on "You Never Give Me Your Money" with around 4 pops before the skip and a tiny, tiny micro skip on "Carry That Weight"-which was a shame after such fantastic audio reproduction-but maybe a slightly heavier stylus than mine will play over these.
Clear highs and bassy lows.
Even the run-ins were lovely and quiet-as can be heard in the clip provided.
JUST HAD THE UTTER JOY OF LISTENING TO HER
SUPERB
The Moog was lovely and clear on Maxwells Silver Hammer-INCREDIBLE!
Rich deep audio with high peaks and deep bass.
*FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN*

EX.

EX.
The cover of this LP has lasted the test of time very well indeed.
 The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is inline with the text. The spine is lovely, clear and strong.
There are only a couple of very small crescents and lines of spidering to the front laminate, with some fingers emanating from the seams.
