BEATLES ABBEY ROAD PCS 7088 YEX 749 -1 /750- 2 LP 1969 1 or 2nd press VINYL - NO Your Majesty credited
On the Green Apple EMI label, in UK Jarrod and Lofthouse sleeve. Original recording with green apple logo under side 1 list on sleeve.
I'm not going to list the sides and tracks as if you want this LP you will know what's on it EXCEPT The LP and sleeve do not list Her majesty - the last track, but it is on the LP - so's its one of the early pressings as far as I understand.This is a comparatively hard to get LP in VERY GOOD vinyl and sleeve condition.
Comparison with the different available guidelines suggests the condition of this LP has at least a VERY GOOD grading
I’m not an expert grader, or a dealer, but as I have owned this record since new I know this LP hasn’t been played much. I never lent my LP’s out or used them at party’s (I made tape compilations years before people burnt CD’s or laid down MP3 selections). I’m certain before this point it’s been in the sleeve for sure since 1994.This is the condition as best and as honestly as I can describe it:
LP: Neither side has any scratches or marks whatsoever that might be felt, and NONE that are immediately obvious. The record remains quite shiny overall but has a few small dull spots, and may benefit from a more expert clean than I can give it. All I have done is given the record a token light dust with an antistatic cloth to remove a paper sleeve fragment or two before I took the photos. It has no nasty finger or dirt marks.
Side 1: there are a number of very faint and very fine hair-line or paper scuff mark visible in very good light in keeping with a record that has been played a few times but handled carefully.
Side 2: similar, but not quite as good.
To check matters I played a selection of tracks: it sounded perfectly fine - the usual identifiable sound of vinyl but NOTHING UNTOWARD. No distortion, jumps, or clicks or sticks and never any interrupt noise or any other interference or bad sound I could detect using different volume or amp settings. Given the comparatively good and consistent condition across both sides, that’s all I played.
Both the record labels are VG (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing and just some minor spindle marks.
SLEEVE
The ORIGINAL laminated sleeve is in GOOD condition. There is no writing, stickers, or a price mark label. The spine is rather flattened by unworn and readable. It has some minor surface creases on both sides but the laminate is intact. There is no circle center or LP shape marks impressed into the card but a little dulling of the laminate following the LP outer edge on the text side.The top R/H corner zebra crossing side has some wear and the opening edge shows minor wear.
The inner sleeve is the original EMI.
This is the story:Back in the 1960-early 70’s I bought albums, but only very selectively as I was then rather young, poor and living away from home. I bought this new when it was released (I was 17). I can’t remember where, but I lived in London at the time (not yet a student but at work).
From 1969 and throughout the 70’s I had a big Wharfdale linked to a Grundig TK141 x 4 track reel to reel recorder. On that I put my music and anybody's I could borrow organised into mood compilations. My personal hard copy LP purchases & collection has never amounted to more than 60-70.
Mostly my vinyl was not played afterwards, or for years – in fact we (me and wife by then) did not have a record player from about mid 1970 until Xmas 1990 – when she treated me to a music tower (always before only the Grundig), and for years work/house building/kids got in the way of music. Consequently all my LPs are in fine condition with original covers etc.
NOW… retired and rather cash poor we will be moving to a smaller house. I have decided it is time to let my collection go – other records will be on eBay as I get around to them.
This is a genuine sale. I have owned the record since new and have given it the best informative and honest description I can.
I’ve been selling off unwanted stuff from our house on eBay over the past year or so ahead of an anticipated move. I tender this for auction on the same condition: NO RETURNS, No guarantees, and to date nothing has gone wrong with me, or for me.
I will send it signed for and pack it well with a good stiffener and protective material inside a cardboard outer. If you read my feedback you will see a lot of good comment on the quality of my packing. E bay works a lot on trust – and I try to honour that, although I know not everyone always does.
