The Beatles
Abbey Road
**wonderful sound reproduction**
*RARE EXPORT PRESSING*
ALSO has a rare misprinted label


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."

Catalogue number: Apple PCS 7088

Matrix Number Side 1: 749 A-3U
Matrix Number Side 2: 750-1
Very unusual mixture of 1st and later pressing matricies here


Mothers/Stampers Side 1: P @ 3 O'clock   1 @ 9 O'clock
Mothers/Stampers Side 2: ROT @ 2 O'clock   5 @ 9 O'clock
Further adding to the strangeness of this pressing as the side 1 (A-3U matrix) pressing is one of the first off the press, with the side 2 being a much later Mother & Stamper..
A TRUE TRANSITIONAL PRESSING HERE


Vinyl:
EX(+).
 Lovely vinyl, barely a mark on her-the only few noticable are very feint and whispy!
SOUNDS FANTASTIC.
Barely even ANY background noise...She sounded wonderfully rich, full of depth and warmth, with clear peaks too.
MAGICAL!


Labels:
EX+.
This label is also very strange as there is a factory defect to side 1-Have a look at the photo's and you will see the defect-the top of the Apple on side 1 has a much lighter shade, which bends around the Apple too-very unusual....This would normally have been picked up in quality control, but this baby made it through.
Only VERY LIGHT spindle marks-only visible when angled towards the light and looking for them!
  NO "Sold in the UK..." text.
Outer text begins: "Apple Records all rights.."
"Mfd. in U.K." text. The labels are nice and vibrant.
This is the darker,original version of this Apple label for the majority-mixed with the later lighter Apple!
The last song credit DOES NOT HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.
WOULD FRAME INCREDIBLY WELL!


Cover:
EX-.
The front and back laminated cover of this LP is in LOVELY CONDITION.
This appears to be the 1st pressing run, without the mis-aligned Apple to the back.
Small patch of rubbing to the centre of the spine but not all the way through.
There are a few small crescents of spidering near the opening, with one line of around 7cm each to the bottom left and right-that really is all, apart from some small fingers of spidering emanating from the seams.
LOVELY AND GLOSSY.
NO SPLITS
NO WRITING
    WOULD LOOK GREAT FRAMED


Inner:
EX.
Original die-cut inner sleeve "Made in Great Britain."
NO SPLITS
NO WRITING
Just some creasing and a few small spots of discoloration.


SO FOLKS, THIS COPY OF ABBEY ROAD IS A REALLY  UNUSUAL, TRUE TRANSITIONAL PRESSING, WITH GREAT SOUND.
ALL COMPLETE.
WOULD SIT PROUD IN ANY COLLECTION....NOT MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE ONE OF THESE.
WITH SUPERB, DEEP AND RICH AUDIO REPRODUCTION
&
NOT FORGETTING THE MISPRINTED SIDE 1 LABEL TOO
