Description

An original 1st press of LIB on UK Apple. Matrix 2U/2U - 1st available cut. Please note On side 1 label the '1' of track one can be found directly below the I&D of 'Side 1'. It sounds crazy - but this is precisely the design layout of the earliest 1st copies. Well worth going for the early copies as they were pressed heavier and the audio reproduction is superb. The vinyl comes housed in an early cover [pinched spine] with the Apple logo removed and replaced by a Parlophone/Emi logo. These copies were destined for export abroad where Parlophone had current licencing agreements in place - and Apple were still working on it. There's also a REPLICA black inner that we'll ship in.
Vinyl (Vg+) In nice condition and has only seen relatively light use. Under close inspection I can only make out a few light marks per side, one or two are semi-feelable - nothing heavy or really problematic. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly VERYGOOD+ level of playback with a couple of deviations per side. In my experience LIB is an incredibly fussy record - one of the fussiest by the Beatles.  'Let It Be' and 'Winding Road' play reasonably clean - not perfectly but better than on many copies. Expect a few errant crackles in one spot per side. A couple of ticks in 'Two Of Us' & 'Pony' & 'I ME MINE'. Not perfect - but a pretty solid rendition throughout.
Cover (Vg+) In great condition and the aesthetic of that front image - has been largely preserved. Nice deep blacks which have not faded. The only noticeable creasing is the one top right on the front - the rest is pretty small fry. Edge wear is light and the openings are still nice and firm. The spine is 100% intact with all text legible. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.  Very nice indeed.
Inner (Vg+) No splits.
