Fantastic 1969 Beatles UK LP. This was the Beatles' 12th LP, released on the 26th September. It was also the last official Beatles release that was recorded by them. Staying at number one for almost 18 consecutive weeks, it was only knocked off by The Rolling Stones' "Let It Bleed."

Vinyl:
146g QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL
EX-.
 Lovely vinyl. I only noticed a couple of very light and very small marks to her, which are superficial and barely heard on playback....When playing her all the way through, I noticed a wonderfull deep and rich audio.
Right at the start of track 1 on side 2 I noticed 5 light pops from the run-in and then later there was a tiny, microscopic skip on "Because" which I think will play over with a slightly heavier stylus than mine-it also produced 3 light pops...Nothing offensive at all.
The audio playback was clean and clear throughout.
JUST HAD THE UTTER JOY OF LISTENING TO HER
SUPERB
Quality audio with high peaks and deep bass.


Labels:
EX+!
One of the most vibrant labels I have seen for this copy in a good while...Perfect for framing!
 All I can see are just incredibly light spindle marks-With these only being evident when angling towards the light and looking for them!
Zero central hole wear-as can be seen in the detailed images provided.
  NO "Sold in the UK..." text.
Outer text begins: "Apple Records all rights.."
"Mfd. in U.K." text.
This is the 1st pressing DARKER version of this Apple label.
The last song credit DOES NOT HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.


Cover:
EX+.
The cover of this LP is ALSO SUPERB!
 The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is inline with the text. The spine is strong, but has some light rubbing to the title.
There are only around 2 small crescents of spidering to the front laminate near the opening and one line to the back....As well as a few tiny fingers eminating from the spine and a slight line to the top right corner-Nothing bad at all and is ready for framing!
NO WRITING
NO RIPS
Only VERY gentle rubbing to the corners.
DEEP CLEAN AND CLEAR COLOURS.
Please see the detailed images for yourselves and click on them for even larger images and more detail.

FRAME THIS BEAUTY!


Inner:
VG+.
**Much RARER "Patents Applied For" inner**
 Original die-cut sleeve.
Also has the "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" text to the bottom too.
There is a small 3cm tear to the back at the top as well as some light feathering to the opening.
There is some discoloration due to ageing-don't we all?!
LOVELY!


THIS IS A LOVELY COLLECTABLE PIECE IN REALLY COLLECTABLE CONDITION
GRAB THIS BEAUTY FOR ITS LOOKS AND GREAT SOUND REPRODUCTION!
