Pressing Details from This Copy

1. Sleeve

• Standard UK gatefold with front cover cherries photo by Linda McCartney.

• Back cover features Paul with baby Mary.

• Inside gatefold: collage of McCartney family and lifestyle photos.

• Printer credits typical of 1970 Apple UK issues.

• Top right back cover shows the UK catalog number PCS 7102 along with the continental code 1E 062 o 04394 (indicating export compatibility).

2. Labels

• Standard Apple labels: green “whole apple” Side 1, cut apple Side 2.

• Text: “Apple Records – All Rights…” around the rim in green type.

• Side 1 matrix: YEX 775

• Side 2 matrix: YEX 776

• Deadwax photos confirm YEX 775-2U / YEX 776-2U.

• “-2U” indicates an early UK pressing (not the very first cut, which would be -1U, but still from 1970).

• These lacquers were cut at EMI, Hayes, Middlesex.

3. Condition (based on photos)

• Sleeve: Glossy front/back, light edge wear only. The spine looks intact, gatefold still clean. Likely VG+ to EX-.

• Vinyl: Both sides show light surface scuffs but no deep gouges visible. Labels are clean with only a faint pen marking. Likely VG+ to EX- depending on playtest.

• Inner sleeve: Standard EMI plain inner.

Collectability & Value

• First UK pressings (YEX 775-1U / 776-1U) command higher prices, especially with red Apple logo misprints or black inner sleeves.

• This copy (-2U / -2U) is still an early UK 1970 pressing, sought after but slightly less scarce than -1U cuts.
