!!!AN ALL ORIGINAL & COMPLETE1968 UNUSUAL 5th PRESSING: Summer 1971 to 1973-STEREO!!! 1/1/1/1 Matrix Numbers
***SIMPLY MAGICAL Audio***
THIS IS ANOTHER FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION, SO WILL NOT ACCEPT LESS THAN THE STARTING PRICE-SHE WORTH CONSIDERABLY MORE!!!
This album was The Beatles FIRST release on the now famous Apple label. It was entered into the charts on the 7th of December 1968 and went straight to number one-where it stayed for 7 weeks! Making it the FIRST double album to get the top slot...EVER!
The rather unusual fact about this album is that it was the first release by The Beatles which contained only SOLO material.
By the time 1970 ended, the total sales of this wonderful album were estimated to be 6.5 Million! However...get this...The only other album that beat this a few years later was "Saturday Night fever" !!!
Catalogue Number: PCS 7607/8

!!EASY UPGRADE!!
GORGEOUSLY shiny vinyl. The vinyl is as shiny today as the day she was born-being ultra critical I can barely see a few incredibly faint, wispy, light marks to her.
I have just played her all the way through-after giving her a professional Vacuum clean and W-O-W..SUPERB AUDIO!
Wonderfully clear highs and deep bassy lows...Even the fading on Helter Skelter was fantastically quiet on the break down!
Even the run-ins and transitions between tracks were silent!
FLAT
A pure joy to listen to...I even noticed new arrangements I hadn't heard before when playing other White Albums over the 18 years in trading Beatles vinyl...SIMPLY EXCEPTIONAL
**INCREDIBLE**
**FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN**
***NOTHING AT ALL TO MAKE HER JUMP, SKIP OR STICK***
TURN HER UP-I DID ;)
The labels:
**NMINT**
You could frame these beauties!!
All four of the labels are extremely bright and clean with the DARKER apple.
Only a few very light spindle marks-which are only visible when angled towards the light and actively looking for them! ZERO hole wear to each label.
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES FOR YOURSELVES
This is the more unusual 5th pressing-pressed from the summer of 1971-1973.

PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED-CLICK ON THEM FOR EVEN LARGER IMAGES AND SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR FAIR GRADING AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS
The Cover:
**NEAR MINT**
SUPERB
NUMBERED: 236971.
It is the correct 5th run: SIDE loading with a great shine to the laminate.
Without the flipbacks showing on the inside-instead, they are folded within the pockets where the records are housed.
Garrod and Lofthouse gatefold.
The spine remains strong and free from any lifting to the laminate...LOVELY.
WITHOUT the printing of Stereo to the back top right.
All I can see are just two very small (2cm and very light) crescents of spidering to the either side of the laminate. With a knock to the bottom left corner-that really is all!
S-U-P-E-R-B
(Please see the detailed pictures for yourself-it really is rather nice).
AGAIN, I AM BEING INCREDIBLY CRITICAL!!!
PLEASE SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR FAIR GRADINGS
NEAR MINT Garrod & Lofthouse gatefold here.
SUPERBLY clean inside.
Opens with the crackle-as if being opened for the first time back in 1970!!!
*AN UPGRADE TO ANYONES COLLECTION*

*NEAR MINT-*
It is the ORIGINAL printing of this poster. Lyrics printed to the back and kiss to the front.
