NOTES
This "true" first press' initial publication time was even shorter than we saw it a year before with the White Album. Published on the 26th of September, it took six lonely days until Hayes pressing plants realized their printing mistake: the misaligned apple, shifted to the left instead of lining up with the track listing of Side A on the cover's reverse side.
We know that some (well recognized!) collectors (and many professional dealers) like to "disregard"" this fact. However, a pressing is characterized by its entirety of a unique track listing, labels, cover, and its time of "printing". Not more, not less.
"Corrected alignment" of the green apple hit the market on the 2nd of October.
This overall EX conditioned first press comes with Label Variation A. No Her Majesty on both cover and label. Copy is complete, its vinyl housed in the original Black inner sleeve
Please see grading details for a more elaborate description of the record's condition.
IMPORTANT NOTE for GERMAN BIDDERS: Please constact us before bidding, for otherwise we will remove your bid without prior notice. This is in view of constantly recurring problems, often caused by language. It's NOT an offense. Collectors want harmony and consensus, not trouble.

1st Class Packaging
We are Collectors, hence every record is stored (and will be sent) in a sophisticated way. Many experienced collectors were thrilled by our unique, bullet-proof "packing technicque". Original cover, inner sleeve(s), prospective inserts, and/or whatever may come across, are stored separately. The vinyl sits in a neutral antistatic, padded inner sleeve, which is housed in a stable, neutral cardboard cover. Package is protected by one (or more) transparent plastic sleeves. Finally, all items are being wrapped with thick bubble foil and go to a professional record mailer, which is then being properly sealed with water-resistant tape.
(PLEASE NOTE that pictured record is an EXAMPLE only. It is NOT the item up for auction. Thank you.) Record Grading
