The Beatles - Abbey Road
This truly outstanding 'final-upgrade' copy of the Beatles' final studio album is a UK first pressing on the dark green Apple Records label.

The vinyl is housed in the original fully laminated Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve with the much sought after 'misaligned apple logo' to the rear of the sleeve.
Also included is the original die cut black inner sleeve that was only sold with the first few copies!

The labels are bright, clean and without writing. Only very light spindle marks can be seen to both sides.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
The record displays superb, 'factory-fresh' deep-gloss playing surfaces. Only a couple of light paper scuffs can be seen in bright daylight. Underneath the haze of a halogen desk lamp a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines can be seen alongside a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
The audio is fantastic. This copy has clearly cautiously on good quality equipment. There are quiet lead-ins to both sides and minimal static in between tracks. There is great channel separation, clear vocals and punchy bass. 'Because' and 'Here Comes the Sun' both play without any static. They are beautiful! You will not need to look for another copy of this fantastic record.
Sleeve: EXCELLENT
This 1st class sleeve looks great. Both sides retain the original lustre and the cover are maintains bright colours. There is a 2cm laminate 'graze' to the front side. The top and bottom edges are without wear. The opening edge is without wear. The 'pinched' spine is without any wear.
Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT +
The original die-cut black inner sleeve is in great condition. It shows one small tear to the centre and one or two to the opening edge. There is a crease to one corner. The vinyl is housed inside an audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the record and inner sleeve.
The record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
