The BEATLES

Abbey Road
Without 'Her Majesty'
**LOVELY EARLY 1st pressing**
(With 1st press misaligned Apple cover!)
138g
*Professionally Cleaned*

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:
QUALITY 138g VINYL
EX+!
 Lovely FLAT & SHINY vinyl.
She only carries incredibly light wispy marks from simple removal and replacement of the inner-I certainly did not find these to have any impact on audio playback as the audio was wonderfully rich, clear and glorious throughout.
After I cleaned her on my Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record cleaner I had the utter joy of listening to her-all the way through....LOUDLY ;)
Wonderfully rich and exactly as The Beatles wanted you to hear them, back in '69!
*DEEP, RICH BASS, WITH CLEAR PEAKS THROUGHOUT*
Almost ZERO background noise!!-not even noticable inbetween tracks or in the run-ins...WOW!
It is even SUPERBLY quiet between Carry That Weight, through the long pause and into Her Majesty-MAGICAL :)

CERTAINLY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS ON MY FOCUS ONE DECK WITH A  LIGHT, PRECISION SMK ARM WITH AN AUDIO TECHNICA STYLUS FITTED.


Labels:
EX+.
Deep, dark green 1st pressing Apple labels here.
 There are just some very light spindle marks, seen when angled towards the light and looking hard for them!...With almost zero central hole wear.
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED
  NO "Sold in the UK..." text.
Outer text begins: "Apple Records all rights.."
"Mfd. in U.K." text. The labels are nice and vibrant.
This is the 1st pressing DARKER version of this Apple label.
Has the '33 1/3' to the extreem left.
The last song credit DOES NOT HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.
NO WRITING.
WOULD FRAME INCREDIBLY WELL.


Cover:
EX!
EXTREMELY GLOSSY!!
The cover of this LP is the rarer cover; with the alignment of the Apple Logo on the back NOT being inline with the text.
The spine remains wonderfully strong, free from any damage, as well as clearly legible.
There is only around 3 small crescents of spidering to the front laminate, as well as a just a few fingers of spidering to seams.
The back laminate has just 5 very small crescents of spidering to her..Certainly nothing at all to worry about at all.

*WOULD FRAME INCREDIBLY WELL*

The corners remain strong with just VERY light rubbing and very light knocks- nothing bad at all.

NO SPLITS-NO WRITING.

 The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is OUT OF LINE with the text.
*FRAME THIS BEAUTY*


Inner:
EX!
 ORIGINAL  RARER inner with the 'PATENTS APPLIED FOR' text!
This one is in TOP condition.
"MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" die-cut, white inner.
There is only very slight discolouration to the paper and inceredibly light crease marks.
Tiny, tiny split of 5mm to the bottom seam...Barely noticeable
NO WRITING.
Certainly done her job in keeping this very early slab of vinyl in tip-top condition!
Beacoming increasingly rare to find.



THIS IS AN EXCELLENT,  COMPLETE & COLLECTABLE PIECE WITH THE RARER COVER, VERY 1ST PRESSING VINYL AND RARER "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" ORIGINAL INNER.
SOUNDS SUPERB AND LOOKS MAGICAL TOO...IT IS SOOO GLOSSY.
*A COMPLETE & ORIGINAL PACKAGE FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR*


*FREE TRACKED UK POSTAGE*
