Stereo
No. 0524573
!!!AN ALL ORIGINAL & COMPLETE1968 FIRST PRESS STEREO!!!
NO EMI RECORDING TO SIDES 1 & 2
This album was The Beatles FIRST release on the now famous Apple label. It was entered into the charts on the 7th of December 1968 and went straight to number one-where it stayed for 7 weeks! Making it the FIRST double album to get the top slot...EVER!
The rather unusual fact about this album is that it was the first release by The Beatles which contained only SOLO material.
By the time 1970 ended, the total sales of this wonderful album were estimated to be 6.5 Million! However...get this...The only other album that beat this a few years later was "Saturday Night fever" !!!

VG. GORGEOUSLY shiny vinyl. The vinyl has a few visible marks to her, after playing her partly through, I found just some background noise with a few skips throughout-perhaps a heavier stylus will play over these??...Side 1 is the worst affected, with the other sides providing good audio reproduction.
Wonderful deep & rich sound reproduction, with some pops and clicks, but come on-she is 44 years old!
A joy to listen to, which would only improve with a professional clean....Really nice playback!
EACH RECORD IS AS FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN
The labels: EX-. All four of the labels are extremely bright and clean with the DARKER apple.
Only very light spindle marks to each label, but these can only be seen when angling to the light....Light and small blooming spots-that really is it!
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES FOR YOURSELVES
NO 'EMI RECORDING' PRINTED TO SIDE 1 & 2 LABEL
Barely any hole wear to each side!
"Mfd in the U.K." to each of the labels.
"An EMI Recording" printed to sides 3 & 4...BUT without the brackets!
WITHOUT writing.

The Cover: NUMBERED: 0524573 It is the first run TOP loading with a great shine to her.
Garrod and Lofthouse gatefold
The spine remains strong, with a some lifting to the laminate just on the spine creating a kind of split (but not all th way through the spine-more of a split to the laminate) of 5cm
Has the printing of Stereo to the back top right.
There are just small areas of spidering to the laminate, and some indentations.
Light knocks to the corners.
(Please see the detailed pictures for yourself-it really is rather nice).
AGAIN, I AM BEING INCREDIBLY CRITICAL!!!
