THIS RECORD LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS BOUGHT! THIS IS EASILY ONE THE BEST COPIES OF THIS LP WE HAVE EVER SEEN!

THE SPINE ON THIS 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING HAS 'PLEATED ENDS' TO EITHER END (SEE PICTURE) - WHEREAS ALL LATER PRESSINGS HAVE STRAIGHT SPINES! VERY OCCASSIONALLY THESE 1ST PRESSINGS DO TURN UP - BUT THEY ARE NEVER IN THIS STUNNING CONDITION! THIS IS THE 1971 VERY EARLIEST 1ST PRESSING WITH THICK QUALITY VINYL, 1ST PRESS LABELS, 1U/1U 1ST PRESS MATRIX ENDINGS, A 1ST PRESS 'LYRIC' INNER SLEEVE, A 1ST PRESS POSTCARD, A 1ST PRESS POSTER AND DISTINCTIVE 1ST PRESS COVER - WITH 'PLEATED' ENDS TO THE SPINE! This is an ORIGINAL 1971 Apple Stereo 1st Pressing, and is in AWESOME condition! The Cat. No is PAS 10004 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Apple label (see picture) and is a Stereo 1st pressing!All the tracks are Pure quality John Lennon at his best!

IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES AT MOST.The vinyl is in NEAR MINT CONDITION! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BEAYTIFUL! It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!
