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 HEAVYWEIGHT 143g VINYL
EX!
 Lovely FLAT & SHINY vinyl.
She only carries a few very light marks-however, I 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!
Barely any bacgroiund noise at all-not even noticable inbetween tracks or in the run-ins...WOW!
CERTAINLY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS ON MY FOCUS ONE DECK WITH A  LIGHT, PRECISION SMK ARM WITH AN AUDIO TECHNICA STYLUS FITTED.


Labels:
EX+.
 There are very light spindle marks, seen when only when angled towards the light...With barely any centrall 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 WELL.


Cover:
EX-.
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 lovely and strong, as well as legible.
There are around 4 small crescents of spidering near the opening to the front and around 6 or 7 to the back near the opening.
*WOULD FRAME INCREDIBLY WELL*
The corners remain strong with just light rubbing, with nothing bad at all.
SOLID EX- EXAMPLE.
NO SPLITS.
 The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is OUT OF LINE with the text.
*FRAME THIS BEAUTY*


Inner:
EX+/NEAR MINT!
 ORIGINAL "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" inner...These were only issued with the very 1st pressings.
This one is in TOP condition.
There is only very slight discolouration to the paper.
NO SPLITS.
NO WRITING.
Certainly done her job in keeping this very early slab of vinyl in tip-top condition!
**A collectors piece in it's own right**


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


*FREE UK POSTAGE*
(If you live in the UK and use buy it now-I will throw in free Special Delivery before 1pm the next day up until Christmas cut-off times...SO, get it for Christmas ;)
