The album was of course, named after the London road in St. John's Wood that houses the E.M.I. studios (although, at one time it was going to be titled, "Everest").
The cover photograph was taken on Friday 8th August 1969 by Iain Macmillan at 10 o'clock in the morning.
For these quick snaps the police held up the traffic for 10 minutes as six pictures were taken (in two of which Paul wore his sandals).
Along with the Sgt. Peppers cover, The Beatles once again managed to create something so iconic that it has been imitated many times.
Side 1: Come Together / Something / Maxwell's Silver Hammer / Oh Darling / Octopus Garden / I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Side 2: Here Comes The Sun / Because / You Never Give Me Your Money / Sun King / Mean Mr Mustard / Polythene Pam / She Came In Through The Bathroom Window / Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight / The End Her Majesty
LABELS: MINT
An immaculate set of labels which carry no spindle traces or any sign the record has ever been played
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT
Both surfaces shine like-new with nothing but a couple of marks on Side Two. These are completely harmless
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays perfectly throughout with a beautifully deep, rich, warm sound and my play-check at volume found nothing to fault.
No clicks, ticks or pops and an exceptionally clean player.
Graded as NEAR MINT to err on the safe side but they don't come much better
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
A fine example with a deep gloss to the laminate front and back and practically unworn edges.
There is some soft creasing to the extremities, slight record impression and slight rub to the narrow spine but all text is clear and bold
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from the beginnings of a tiny split to one edge the black inner is in great shape with no snags to the die-cut section
