THE WHALE

Superb condition rare original first pressing on the Apple record label. The catalogue number is SAPCOR 15.This was released in 1970. This is the ORIGINAL release with gatefold sleeve and has with the Garrod & Lofthouse Patents pending sleeve

Original first pressings of this album are very hard to find ( it sold very limited numbers when released) and are very much in demand by Beatles and Apple collectors alike.

This record has barely been played more than a couple of times this copy offers stunning vinyl and labels. The matrix numbers are:- SAPCOR 15 A-1U & SAPCOR 15 B-1U with Stampers 1 at 9 o'clock and A at 3 o'clock on BOTH sides.

The labels are near mint with just a couple of light wispy spindle marks only seen in a certain light. Completely clean with perfect lettering and vibrant colours. The sleeve is Excellent + with no writing no tears no creases no grubbiness .
The unmarked record is n/m with flawless playback. There are NO pops NO tics NO clicks NO repeats NO jumps.

The original non-laminated gatefold sleeve is EX+. No edgewear and no cornerwear. The inner gatefold is as near mint as you are ever likely to get.

All in all a superb example of this increasingly rare Apple issue.

THIS RECORD IS GRADED VISUALLY AND AURALLY.
