No is PCS 7067/68 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press DARK Apple labels (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer STEREO 1st Pressing (most were Monos)!!!!  PLEASE ALSO NOTE - that this Double LP has the FULL LENGTH version of 'Helter Skelter' (with Ringos 'blisters on my fingers!' ending) - and this is exclusive to STEREOs ONLY (Monos dont have this AT ALL!)!!!!  There are also many MANY other mix differences too, which are exclusive to STEREOs ONLY - which makes this ULTRA RARE STEREO 1st Press mix far FAR superior to the Mono version!!!!  All the tracks are Pure quality Beatles at their best!!!! Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

BOTH record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, only 1 label with VERY slight texturisation, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s Double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO nasty feelable scratches, only 2 or 3 light hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 MEGA light surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  ALL SIDES RETAIN EVERY BIT OF THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINE LIKE NEW!!!!  It is great to find that the playing of the records are as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  They play with NO skips, only a few VERY light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The records must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  A BRILLIANT SET OF RECORDS!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  BOTH records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press Black Apple inners which are in BRILLIANT condition - with NO rips, NO tears, NO splits, and NO writing!!!!  The ULTRA RARE Poster & 4 Colour 'Prints' are both in absolutely SUPERB condition (see pictures) and it is VERY doubtful if they have EVER left the cover!!!!  A SUPERB SET OF INSERTS!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Gatefold TOP Opening FULLY Laminated Flipback 'Numbered' Cover is in absolutely SUPERB condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (apart from a TINY rub towards the top - and side words PERFECT!), NO ringwear, NO grubbyness, only VERY slight corner wear, barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), VERY shiny laminate, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  The TOP opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the laminated inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO writing, PERFECT flipbacks, STUNNING shiny 'mirror-like' laminate, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing AT ALL!!!!  The '0426683' number on the cover front is EXACTLY 'as printed' back in 1968 and has absolutely NO wear AT ALL - and the raised lettering of 'The Beatles' on the cover front is absolutely AWESOME with NO grubbyness and NO dirt AT ALL!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB COVER!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
