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:

138g-QUALITY VINYL

EX(+)

Lovely vinyl, only a couple of VERY light & wispy marks to her, which are superficial and barely even heard on playback....When playing her all the way through, I noticed a wonderful deep and rich audio reproduction-of course; free from sticks and any skips.

Even the run-ins were lovely and silent-as can be heard in the clip provided.

The harmonies throughout playback were incredibly clean and clear-with Octopus’s Garden and Because REALLY shining out with utter clarity-It felt like being in the studio with The Beatles in 1969!

This is a genuine 1st pressing slab of vinyl and not a digital file!

I have tried to show the utter quality of this album by recording one of the softest songs on the album: The first track of side 2 “Here Comes The Sun”

...As you can see-these marks had just a light effect on playback-nothing terrible at all...Only incredibly CLEAR AUDIO THROUGHOUT!

The Moog was lovely and clear on Maxwells Silver Hammer.

Even as silent as you could ever want in-between tracks and on the fade ins and outs too! To be ULTRA CRITICAL...I noticed a TINY bit of INCREDIBLY light crackle on the break-down of Her Majesty-that really is all...Most wouldn’t even mention this.

Rich, dynamic audio, with clean and clear high peaks and deep rolling bass.

*GORGEOUS*

Labels:

EX+.

There are only a couple incredibly light and small spindle marks, just about evident-but these are only visible when angling towards the light and looking for them.

With barely NO central hole wear to speak of.

NO WRITING

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 1st pressing DARKER version of this Apple label and with the 33 1/3 aligned to the extreme left of the label.

The last song credit DOES HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.

EASILY FRAMEABLE HERE

Cover:

EX(+)!

The cover of this LP is BEAUTIFUL.

The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is inline with the text. The spine is lovely, clear and strong.

Just a small handful of small crescents of spidering to the laminate (around 5).

NO WRITING

NO RIPS

NO SPLITS

BARELY ANY rubbing to the corners-wow!

DEEP VIBRANT COLOURS.

Please see the detailed images for yourselves and click on them for even larger images and more detail.

FRAME THIS BEAUTY!

Inner:

G+.

It is THE VERY 1st PRESSING BLACK INNER!

These are getting rather rare to find in any condition and this one has stood the test of time well.

There is a split to each side as well as some feathering to the opening...But if you were to frame this, this wouldn’t be noticeable.

With some light creasing and little nicks to the one sided window-as can be seen in the detailed images provided.

**I will also include a correct period white die-cut Patent No. 1,125,55 Made In England inner too, which is in EXCELLENT condition and free from any splits or writing.**
