Description
THE BEATLES Abbey Road UK EARLY PRESSING with no "Her Majesty" credit on the sleeve or on the record label. Road grate visible on bottom. Fully laminated UK sleeve, white UK inner sleeve included.
Excellent sound quality on this pressing, gave me goose bumps when I first heard it loud! After having the U.S. edition then hearing this is like night and day!! Wow! The earliest editions of this tile featured no mention of "Her Majesty" on the record labels or the cover, as well as a street water grate visible on the bottom of the front cover. The apple IS aligned on this, so this is the second issue after the misaligned apple on the back cover.
VINYL in VG++ condition, some very light paper scuffs only that do not affect play, A few areas where there are quite a few, but are very light, most likely from removing the record from the sleeve, incredible and full sound!!!!! This has been my go-to copy for years, never disappointed in it.
COVER in VG+ fully laminated Garrod & Lofthouse UK cover with aligned apple. There are some creases around the edge of the spine, a few creases along the bottom from the record, corner bumps, and a 1" split starting on the spine right in the middle where the record started to come through, still solid, no splits!
INNER SLEEVE in VG with staining/yellowing. No splits! Has "Made In great Britain" and PATENT 1,125,555 on bottom.

Notes
? 1969."An E.M.I. Recording"
Mfd. in U.K.
This version is the "first label, revised cover" version:
Dark green labels with a whole apple on the A-side label and a half, sliced-open apple on B-side. The labels have the "(An E.M.I. Recording)" text on two lines and small "33 1/3" text moved to the left side. Publishing year printed with a small ? symbol. The B-side label does not have "Her Majesty" credits. The labels are quite dark, although the actual shade of green varies between copies.
Comes in a full laminated cover without flaps on the back side. The front cover has the drain showing, the rear cover has the Apple logo aligned with the text, and 'Her Majesty' is not listed.
"Thanks to George Martin, Geoff Emerick and Phillip McDonald".
