SUPERB 1ST PRESSING - 2ND STATE THE BEATLES ABBEY ROAD APPLE RECORDS PCS 7088 - DARK APPLE LABEL MATRIX YEX 749-2 & YEX 750-1 MOTHER & STAMPERS 4 MPL & 9 OHM I have listened to this album a few times at high volume on a Goldring Lenco GL75 turntable and except for one (and I mean one) stray, barely audible click in Come Together this is an absolutely stunning copy of Abbey Road. Visually at first glance there are no markings whatsoever and it really takes looking under a very strong light and at certain angles to see any signs of sleeve wear. This truly is a NM copy which plays beautifully with effectively no background noise at all. I really found it hard to fault.
The aligned Apple sleeve is in EX condition with a nice spine and just a bit of detaching of the laminate at the top left hand corner and light ring wear (see pics).
Album comes with its original white 'patent' inner sleeve which accompanied these 'aligned Apple' copies.
Happy bidding!
Please note I use UK Record Collector grading system for all albums with the addition of the accepted Near Mint category:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
NEAR MINT: The record appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner
and is assumed to have been played by them
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality,
despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
I try to be as accurate as possible, however, we are all human so if there are any problems please let me know.
