Description
THE BEATLES "ABBEY ROAD" AP 8815 JAPANESE RELEASE ON RED WAX WITH ORIGINAL SLIMLINE GREEN OBI !!
HAS THE SECRET TRACK "HER MAJESTY" (NOT MENTIONED ON SLEEVE OR LABEL!)
THIS IS THE FULL SET, IT INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL LYRIC SHEET INSERT AND BLACK DIE CUT STOCK INNER, VERY RARE TO HAVE ALL THIS IN ONE SET!
CONDITION AS FOLLOWS:
SLEEVE
BEAUTIFUL HEAVY CARD SLEEVE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, BARELY A MARK ON IT, JUST A VERY SLIGHT BASH TO TOP RIGHT AND A SLIGHT CREASE TO TOP LEFT BUT I'M BEING VERY PICKY HERE, ITS HARD TO FAULT. FRONT COVER IS CLEAN AND BRIGHT AS IS THE BACK. THE SPINE IS IN LOVELY CONDTITON, CLEARLY TITLED ETC. A LOVELY ORIGINAL SLEEVE.
OBI
ORIGINAL SLIMLINE GREEN APPLE OBI (STEREO AP-8815). THE OBI HAS A TEAR TO THE TOP FRONT ABOVE THE APPLE BUT THE TEAR LIES FLAT AND THERE IS NO PAPER LOSS AT ALL. TO THE TOP REAR THERE IS SOME SLIGHT PAPER LOSS AT THE POINT WHERE OBIs FOLD OVER TO JOIN UP. HOWEVER THE OBI STILL FITS AROUND THE SLEEVE PROPERLY AND IT IS ORIGINAL. PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS, I BELIEVE THESE MINOR POINTS DONT DETRACT TOO MUCH FROM THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THE OBI.
LYRIC SHEET
THE ORIGINAL APPLE RECORDS SINGLE PAGE LYRIC SHEET WITH LYRICS ON BOTH SIDES. IT HAS THE PRINTING IN ENGLISH WITH THE SONG TITLES SUBTITLED IN JAPANESE. IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, NO RIPS OR PAPER LOSS, IT IS JUST SLIGHTLY YELLOWED WITH AGE AND HAS THE ODD BROWN AGE SPOT AND AN OLD CREASE DOWN THE MIDDLE WHERE IT HAS BEEN FOLDED. THIS IS GOOD THOUGH, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED.
INNER
THE ORIGINAL BLACK, STOCK ISSUE, DIE CUT INNER WITH ONE HOLE, HARD TO FAULT, IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, THE SLIGHTEST OF CREASES WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED THE VERY FIRST TIME IT WAS PUT IN THE SLEEVE, THE VERY SLIGHTEST OF WEAR TO THE OPENING. TOP QUALITY. THE RECORD WILL BE SENT IN AN ALTERNATE POLY LINED INNER TO PROTECT THE BLACK INNER FROM DELIVERY DAMAGE.
RECORD
STUNNING RED WAX VINYL!, RETAINS A BEAUTIFUL SHEEN, IN THE VERY STRONGEST OF LIGHT I HAVE MANAGED TO SEE ABOUT 4 VERY SLIGHT HAIRLINES ON SIDE ONE AND MAYBE ONE ON SIDE TWO BUT I'M BEING VERY PICKY HERE, YOU REALLY CAN HARDLY SEE ANYTHING AT ALL. THE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION, NO MARKS WHATSOEVER, NO SPINDLE WEAR, CANT FAULT THEM.
BOTH SIDES PLAY THROUGH FROM START TO FINISH WITH NO SKIPS OR JUMPS, POPS OR CLICKS, IF I WAS BEING ULTRA CRITICAL I'D SAY THERE MIGHT BE SOME RECORDING HISS BETWEEN TRACKS BUT THATS AS IT WAS ISSUED. TRULY STUNNING.
