Notable Collectors’ Detail
Features one of the famous early pressing “Seven Errors”:
- Missing question mark in “Why Don’t We Do It In The Road” on Side 2 label.
This is widely considered the rarest of the recognized label errors, appearing only on a small fraction of the earliest UK pressings—making this copy especially desirable among serious collectors.
A fantastic opportunity to own a genuine first UK pressing of one of the most iconic albums ever released.
