Abbey Road - The Beatles - UK 1969 - 1st Press - Misaligned Apple
Note This is the much rarer misaligned version. 'Her Majesty' is included on Side 2 label but not on the cover. The more commonly available pressings eliminate this track completely.
Matrix/Stampers Side 1) YEX 749-2 MOM 912 Side 2) YEX 750-1 MAM 8
Vinyl Play Back: VG+ Passive surface noise between tracks and occasional light tics. 'Sun King' is the only track where tics are heard due to its quiet intro. They pass quickly and are rather mild.
Cover: VG+ Fully laminated jacket with the misaligned Apple logo on the back. 'Her Majesty' is correctly NOT included with the track listings on the back.   There are multiple laminate creases seen, however, the laminate remains completely intact and is not compromised in any way. No cracking. JANICE (likely the original owner) has 'immortalized' her name by carefully pressing it into the front cover's laminate. There is just a very slight hint ofLP ring impression but with no actual ring wear. There is no sign of shelf wear whatsoever. In fact, with its corners still well defined, other than the creasing noted, there is little sign of wear in general. This jacket is in no way fragile. The cover is clean, solid, and in-hand it presents very nicely.
Vinyl Visual: VG The vinyl is clean and still maintains its glossy finish. There are scuffs and surface lines on both sides seen more readily under fluorescent lighting.
Labels: EX+ 'Her Majesty' is listed on S2. Most editions eliminate this track.
Original White Inner: VG Shows some age browning but still perfectly intact. These pressings came with either white or black UK inners.
A lovely 'Abbey Road' first pressing.
INV: 68

Grading endeavors to be conservative. (Please see below for grading scale)
All open vinyl is shipped in a new poly-inner, and the album cover in a poly-sleeve.
Vinyl is cleaned on a VPI 16.5 machine and test played 'start-to-finish' prior to listing, unless otherwise noted.
'Vinyl Playback' will always address egregious audible concerns.   If you encounter any issues with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback.
My goal is your 100% complete satisfaction.

Vinyl Play Grades
M: Still sealed
M-: An opened item that appears 'M'. Virtually perfect playback.
NM: A few minor visual imperfections with virtually no audible impact. Top quality play.
EX: A few more surface marks than NM with very few audible imperfections. Quality play.
VG+: Surface scuffs and lines. Some light surface noise or a few tics or pops. Enjoyable play.
VG: Defined scuffs, lines, and scratches. More surface noise, tics, and pops than VG+. Acceptible play.
G: Heavy wear, deep scratches, with egregious surface noise, clicks, and pops. Poor play.
Hybrid Example:    Vinyl which is VG in appearance but plays NM. = Visual Grade: VG  Playback Grade: NM
The reverse may also occur.  = Visual Grade: NM  Playgrade: VG
Album covers are graded on a case by case basis given the myriad of issues which may impact each.
All grading is completely subjective and provided to the best of my ability.
