This album was The Beatles FIRST release on the now famous Apple label. It was entered into the charts on the 7th of December 1968 and went straight to number one-where it stayed for 7 weeks! Making it the FIRST double album to get the top slot...EVER!
The rather unusual fact about this album is that it was the first release by The Beatles which contained only SOLO material.
By the time 1970 ended, the total sales of this wonderful album were estimated to be 6.5 Million! However...get this...The only other album that beat this a few years later was "Saturday Night fever" !!!


Catalogue Number: PMC 7607/8

LOVELY EARLY PRESSING HERE
Mothers/Stampers:

7/MP
4/ML
2/HD


The Vinyl:
146g/141g
VG(+)Only marked down due to a handful of very light visible marks to each of the vinyl discs...however..After listening to her ALL THE WAY THROUGH, I only found only some INCREDIBLY light and ONLY VERY occasional background noise: There were a couple of light pops right at the end of When My Guitar Gently Weeps in the transition to Happiness is A Warm Gun, but these do not bleed into the tracks much at all...just a couple of light revolutions...So nothing bad at all. Same with the start of Martha My Dear and some light crackle on Blackbird.
The album really sounded wonderfully all original with clean and clear rich audio output....Really warming :)
This is a slab of vinyl from 1968, which has been played (albeit gently) so it will not display the clarity of a CD or MP3...BUT it will display depth and character, with some light crackle occasionally.

**GLORIOUS MONO**

**FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN**

***NOTHING AT ALL TO MAKE HER JUMP, SKIP OR STICK***


TURN HER UP-I DID ;)


The Labels:
VG.
 All four of the labels are extremely bright and clean with the DARKER apple.
Each have the 1st press: "SOLD IN THE UK..." statements.
There are only A FEW, very light spindle marks to each label, these can only be seen when angling towards the light....And particularly looking for them !
VERY NICE!!
Next to NO HOLE WEAR at all!
Unfortunately-as you can see in the images provided; side 2 and 4 have writing on them.
"Mfd in the U.K." to each of the labels.

The Cover:
VG+
!!YEP-THAT GOOD!!

NUMBERED: 0607165 It is an the very first printing run, with TOP loading and a creamy finish (rather than the later brilliant white editions).
 Garrod and Lofthouse gatefold
The spine remains strong and clear.
Superb cover-creamy white, with just a few very small fingers of spidering emanating from the seams of this glorious laminated gatefold cover!
NO RIPS/TEARS OR SPLITS
!!MAGICAL!!
SIMPLY LOVELY CONDITION

Correct MONO cover as it doesn't have the printing of  Stereo to the back top right.
GLORIOUS and clean on the inside of the gatefold.
(Please see the detailed pictures for yourself-it really is lovely).
AGAIN, I AM BEING INCREDIBLY CRITICAL!!!

Excellently strong Garrod & Lofthouse gatefold flipbacks....
ORIGINAL FIRST PRINTING!!!


Inners:  
G+
 Original BLACK inners. They each carry some gentle feathering to their openings.
One has some tearing to the window and small splits to two sides, the other has a very small tear to the window and a larger split to the bottom seam.

THEY ARE ALL ORIGINAL-NOT REPRO!


Pictures:
EX-
ALL present (John and George, Ringo & Paul)
They are ALL ORIGINAL.
They DON'T have any pin-holes around their edges...Which was quite typical for the Beatles fans to pin their beau's up on their bedroom wall.
Just some very small spots of foxing to the white backings and some light creasing to George.
Lovely and bright.
ALL ORIGINAL


Poster:
G.
Full size and with lyrics to the back.
Unfortunately this poster has been torn on the folds at one time and is now repaired with sellotape.Please see the images provided.
Vibrant colours too.
ALL ORIGINAL 1st PRINTING RUN with the naked Paul McCartney and the red lips too.
