Paul McCartney
RAM
*VERY 1st PRESSING COVER AND VINYL!!*
With superb audio too...
This was Pauls second album and was released on the 21st of May 1971. It managed to get to the number 1 slot and stayed there for 2 weeks. The album was credited to both Paul and Linda, with Linda's daughter making a guest appearance on "Monkberry Moon Delight."
Advanced orders exceeded 100,000, which allowed the album to enter into the UK charts at number 1 and knocked off The Stones' album "Sticky Fingers" BUT after a couple of weeks, "Sticky Fingers" regained it's number 1 slot and knock RAM off the top slot.

QUALITY 138g
Yep, really is GORGEOUS. Only carries light and whispy marks due to incredibly careful playing-with immediate replacement to it's inner.
WONDERFUL SOUND REPRODUCTION
Just dust!
After playing her ALL THE WAY THROUGH-I found one tiny skip near the start of track 4, side 2...I have no idea why, so possibly a gentle clean and/or a slightly heavier stylus will combat this....Other than that,the sound is lovely and clean & clear.
The Sleeve: Near Mint!!!! Yep, once again this is a beauty! Gatefold and the best I have seen!
Strong corners with minimal rubbing
FANTASTIC , almost perfect spine-with just a tiny nick near the top!
**IT IS THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRINTING/PRESSING AS THE SPINE IS WHITE**

GREEN APPLE ON THE INSIDE DOUBLE LAMINATED GATEFOLD
INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LAMINATING
"An Apple Record. An EMI Recording...PRINTED AND MADE IN ENGLAND...*C McCartney Productions, Inc. 1971"
Bright, vibrant colours-almost as if printed yesterday!!
(As a note to fans out there-did you know the "L.I.L.Y." print to the right of the front cover stands for: Linda I Love You...?)
SIMPLY PUT-AN UPGRADE OR ARCHIVE COPY!!
The Labels: EX++. Superb dark 1st printing of this iconic APPLE label.
Barely any hole wear and the only spindle marks that are visible ONLY when angled towards the light and looking for them.
