GRADING CONDITIONS:
VINYL RECORD: EX (Excellent)
The vinyl retains its stunning, deep factory mirror-like gloss finish. Under intense direct light, it reveals only
paper-removal hairlines. No deep marks, no scuffs, and absolutely no scratches.
Plays beautifully from start to finish.
LABELS: EX (Excellent)
Both Side 1 (Full Apple) and Side 2 (Sliced Apple) labels are exceptionally clean. The vibrant green colors are crisp. Only a few faint, minimal spindle trails visible around the center hole under close inspection. No writing, no tears, and no stickers.
SLEEVE: EX (Excellent)
The original Garrod & Lofthose picture sleeve is in beautiful, well-preserved condition and is fully laminated on both the front and back covers, retaining a lovely bright gloss finish. It shows only minor, typical signs of age such as slight laminate creasing near the edges and very minimal corner wear. The edges are straight, and the spine is firm, solid, and 100% readable ("ABBEY ROAD THE BEATLES PCS 7088"). The rear jacket featuring the aligned Apple logo is exceptionally clean, with no major scuffs and no heavy ring wear to the laminated surface.
INNER SLEEVE: VG (Very Good)
Includes its authentic, original 1969 die-cut black paper inner sleeve with rounded corners and center window. This is the earliest textless/unprinted variant, completely correct for this specific early pressing. The sleeve shows normal signs of age and handling, including some light creasing and minor wear to the edges.
