Description
Available here is a 12" vinyl LP by The Beatles - Abbey Road. Issued in the UK by Apple in 1969, it has the catalogue number PCS 7088. This version has certain sought after characteristics, which makes it a rare and collectible edition i.e. a misaligned Apple logo on the back cover, with the final track “Her Majesty" missing from the rear cover but not the B-side label.
Identifiers - The record has the following matrix marks -
Matrix / Runout - Side A - Stamped - YEX 749-4
Matrix / Runout - Side B - Stamped - YEX 750-3 - HCM (Possibly but indistinct)
Vinyl Condition - Very Good+ - Possibly Ex- but I prefer to grade cautiously in order to avoid disputes. The record is certainly very bright and clean - there are no worrying scratches, although close examination may reveal the odd light surface mark. Sound wise, the record offers a dynamic, crisp and clear listen, which is so much better than some of the later vinyl versions and CD incarnations that I’ve heard down the years. Indeed, I’ve listened to both sides and can confirm that there is no jumping or sticking. The odd light click is likely to be heard with minor background crackle/noise on occasions but nothing excessive or detracting. I’ve only given the record a cursory clean but the sound quality may well improve further with a little more dedicated attention.
Sleeve Condition - Very Good+ - Again, I might be grading conservatively. Original laminated sleeve with the surface film firmly attached on both sides. Otherwise, light signs of wear but no damage of note. There are a few minor stress lines top and bottom, with a partial disc impression mark present. Inner is largely plain white and as issued, with a little edge and corner creasing.

It is not my intention to profit from postage. If possible I use good clean recyclable material but I also buy bubble wrap, brown paper, packing tape and glue and all items are well wrapped and protected before posting. Items are also weighed and postage calculated before I list at auction and a small percentage of the charge does go towards packing costs.
I will accept returns on any item which is not as described and refund all costs upon safe receipt. See "Me" for further general despatch information.
