Description
THE BEATLES ABBEY ROAD APPLE PCS 7088 STEREO 1969.
FIRSTLY LET ME START BY SAYING THAT THIS IS A LATER 1973 FRENCH CONTRACT PRESSING BY PATHE MARCONI EMI. AT THE TIME THE BEATLES WERE AT THE HEIGHT OF THEIR POPULARITY NOT ONLY WITH THIS ALBUM BUT ALSO THE PERVIOUS 1967 RELEAS OF ST. PEPPER AND THEN IN 1968 THE FAMOUS WHITE ALBUM FOLLOWED BY YELLOW SUBMARINE 1969 SO IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES OWING TO THE STILL OVERWHELMING DEMAND RECORD WERE OFTAIN PRESSED BY NON-EMI COMPANIES UNDER CONTRACT.
THE VINYL IS IN V/G CONDITION RETAINING ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL GLOSSY SHEEN, ON CLOSE INSPECTION SOME LIGHT MARKS ARE VISIBLE AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT FROM A VINYL OF THIS AGE, THERE ARE NO DEEP SCRATCHES HOWEVER AND PLAYBACK IS FANTASTIC, REALY CLEAR WITH GREAT CLARITY TO VOCALS, GUITARS AND PERCUSSION. ALL SONGS PLAY WITHOUT DISTORTION AND WITH MINIMAL BACKGROUND NOISE AND THERE ARE NO SKIPS OR JUMPS JUST THE OCCASIONAL POP. THE RECORD LABELS ARE CLEAN, WITHOUT WRITING AND SPINDLE WARE. A REALY ENJOYABLE LISTEN.
THE SLEEVE WAS PRINTED BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE INTERNATIONAL LTD. IS IN V/G CONDITION AND LOOKS GREAT FRONT AND BACK RETAINING THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND BRIGHT COLOURS. CORNERS ARE GOOD, THERE IS MINOR CREASING, VERY SUBTLE BUBBLE TO LAMINATE NEAR LEFT BOTTOM EDGE. THE SPINE IS STRONG THE TITLES ARE CLEARLY READABLE, THE OPENING IS CRISP AND CLEAN. A NICE SLEEVE.
ALL IN ALL A VERY NICE COPY OF THIS ICONIC BEATLES ALBUM AND ONE I'M SURE WILL BRING A LOT OF PLEASURABLE LISTENING
VINYL WILL BE SENT IN A POLYTHENE OUTER SLEEVE WITHIN A VINYL RECORD MAILER.
