Description

DEPENDANT ON WHICH REFERENCE BOOK YOU USE THE NUMBERING  SEQUENCE FOR THESE 1969 FIRST PRESSING SIDE OPENING  WHITE ALBUMS BEGAN AT EITHER 100,000 OR 150,000 AND ALL THE NUMBERS WERE SIX DIGIT WITH NO ZERO AS THE FIRST NUMBER
THIS PRESSING WAS AVAILABLE BETWEEN MID 1969 TO SEPTEMBER 1970 AND HAS A FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE, DARK APPLE LABELS AND ALL FOUR PICTURES BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE POSTER HAS GONE MISSING ( STILL PROBABLY PINNED UP ON SOME SIXTIES TEENAGERS BEDROOM WALL)
THE NUMBER ON THIS COPY IS No 159196 WHICH MAKES IT EITHER THE 59,196 COPY OR 9,196 COPY SO IS AN EARLY THIRD PRESSING ON EITHER NUMBER
APPLE PCS 7067 / 7068 STEREO PRESSING

BOTH VINYL RECORDS ARE IN  CLEAN CONDITION DEEP GLOSSY VINYL LOOK SUPERB IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT , ABRIGHT LIGHT DOES EVEAL HANDLING MARKS BUT NOTHING FEELABLE WITH UNMARKED LABELS AND UNWORN CENTREHOLES
