1969 UK 1st PRESS STEREO LP
**FACTORY SAMPLE & MISALIGNED APPLE COVER**
This excellent 1969 1st pressing is on the UK dark green Apple label: PCS 7088

The side 1 label also carries a genuine 'pointed-end' Factory Sample sticker.
The side 2 label includes the 'Her Majesty' title.
Housed in a fully laminated 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with misaligned Apple logo on the rear panel.
Complete with an original white Apple Records inner-sleeve.
Matrix numbers: YEX 749-2 & YEX 750-1
Stamper numbers: 3/PDP & 1/PGH
Labels: EXCELLENT PLUS
Visual: EXCELLENT PLUS
Pristine, clean & bright surfaces bearing just a single faint paper scuff on side 2 in strong daylight but no other marks or any scratches.
Close inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals no more than a few wispy sleeve removal hairlines but no other marks.
Both sides lie 100% flat both sides on the turntable with no dishing or warping.
Audio: EXCELLENT PLUS
Rarely played, this is a fine sounding copy with no crackle or groovewear distortion on any track.
Apart from a few light ticks in the dead grooves before 'Her Majesty' there is little to find fault with.
There are no loud clicks, jumps, repeats or any other significant audible wear anywhere.
Cover: EXCELLENT
This fine example retains an extremely high-gloss, unscratched laminate which disaplys just a few light edge wrinkles and 3 thumbnail creases.
The corners are all in clean, sharp & unbumped shape and both opening edges are clean, sharp & unworn with no tears or feathering.
The rear panel as clean & bright as the front with just a few tiny pieces of missing paper along the upper edge but otherwise in perfect condition.
The spine & seams are all completely intact, clean & undamaged.
All discs are carefully play graded in their entirety on a Rega P9 deck with an Ortofon Kontrapunkt 'A' cartridge.
All records are 100% guaranteed. Full refunds given if you are not satisfied
