READ THIS!

Sealed albums are non-returnable if they have been opened.  (That’s fair, isn’t it?)

Please don’t bid if this is a problem for you.

So with that said…

Beatles SEALED LP Abbey Road Apple Label!

For obvious reasons, there’s no way to tell for sure which Apple label variation this is.  However; there are certain forensics we can use, which will narrow the pool down.

**The sewer grate isn’t on the front cover. And by the way, the sewer grate on the cover isn’t rare at all.  Forensically speaking though, I usually see these with Los Angeles pressings.  Other plants used them, but LA is predominant for not using them.

**Back Cover doesn’t list “Her Majesty.” 

**Back cover has a predominant seam on three sides.  Those last two features are also consistent with Los Angeles Apple pressings.

**Spine text is on the back cover.  I have seen this repeatedly with Los Angeles 1975 “All Rights Reserved” Apple labels.

My best guess is that this is a Los Angeles 1975 “All Rights Reserved” Apple pressing.  And if that’s the case, which variation is it?  The rarest is the bright green Apple label with the disclaimer in black letters on two lines, just below the stem at the top.

Vinyl--- NM SEALED.

Plates--- NM SEALED.

Cover--- NM SEALED.  Back cover has a section of missing shrink, about 3 inches long, an inch high.  See photo.

Breathe Holes--- There are two breathe holes on the front cover.  Both at the top, one is due north of Paul in the tree foliage, the other is between Ringo and John, due east.

Labels--- NM SEALED.

Capitol Inner Sleeve--- NM SEALED.

What a very cool Christmas gift for anyone, collector or not.  Someone’s jaw is about to drop when they pull this one out from under the tree this year!

CAUTION!  There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids.  A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.

Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!

(Please note:  Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized.  The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle.  Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix?  Thanks!)
