This product is a first Canadian pressing of The Beatles' "Abbey Road" album, released in 1969 by Apple Records. The 33 RPM LP features the iconic pop rock sound of the British Invasion era, with production by Sir George Martin. This edition comes in a cardboard sleeve, graded as Excellent (EX), and includes the original cover. The vinyl matrix number is SO-1-383 X2 / SO-2-383, and it is a must-have for fans of 1960s music, especially in stereo format.

Thank you for your purchase!

eBay offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not happy with your record, please contact me before leaving negative feedback. TRY CLEANING THE RECORD FIRST! I’ll do my best to resolve any issue—and if its an Ebay option, I’ll even cover return shipping for a full refund (as long as the item is returned in the same condition it was sent). Vinyl is visually graded and not all are play tested due to the large volumes of inventory I sell. (Plus it would drive my wife bonkers) I also rely on the same universal grading system defined by Discogs:

Vinyl (Media) and cover grades

MINT (M)

• MINT/Sealed (M/S): A new record that is still sealed in its original plastic wrap.

• MINT (M): A new record that has never been played or used, with perfect surfaces and cover. 

EXCELLENT (EX)

• Vinyl: Shows no signs of wear, with only very minor, barely visible scuffs.

• Cover: Appears nearly perfect, with no creases, seam splits, or other noticeable defects. 

Very Good Plus (VG+)

• Vinyl: Shows some signs of use, with slight scuffs or light scratches that don't affect the music's playback significantly.

• Cover: May have slight wear, but remains in good condition with no seam splits. 

Very Good (VG)

• Vinyl: More pronounced signs of play than VG+. Surface noise (like crackles or pops) may be heard, but it won't overpower the music. Should not skip, but if it does try cleaning the vinyl. Surface will show scratches, some feelable with finger.

• Cover: Normal used cover wear, such as ring wear or slight seam splits, is evident. 

Good (G) and Good Plus (G+)

• Vinyl: Can be played through with possibility of skipping, and will have significant surface noise and visible groove wear. May have slight warp that may impact sound.

• Cover: Has seam splits (especially at the bottom) or other noticeable damage. 

Poor (P) and Fair (F) 

• Vinyl: The record is cracked, badly warped, or skips. Playback is significantly affected or impossible.

• Cover: The cover is heavily damaged with tears, tape, and writing.
