Description

An original 1st pressing of Abbey Road on the Apple label from 1969. Matrix -1/-2. The record label makes no mention of 'Her Majesty' and this identifies it, along with the matrix numbers, as an original first pressing from 1969. The record is also a very decent solid pressing unlike later reissues. The Lp comes housed in its original Garrod & Lofthouse cover and original inner sleeve. So, this is 100% complete and 100% original - and in amazing condition too.
Vinyl (Ex+) Is still nice and shiny and has clearly seen only minimal use. Under close inspection I can only make out a couple of very light marks - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Intros and inbetweens are silent and the audio comes across with excellent clarity and barely a hint of interference. It's worth noting that these first issues from 1969 are really solid and the sound quality is absolutely top draw. Beautiful full range sound with bags of detail. A lot of Abbey Road is very low-key stuff and so any background shows up easily, but not here, this really is a one-off!
Cover (Ex+) Has survived the years in amazing condition. There's very little wear visible at all - just some extremely light creases. Other than that it's in great condition. No dinks to the corners, no hidden rips. It feels really nice and rigid - and the text on the spine is entirely intact.
Inner (VG) Couple of light splits and a bit of ageing - but original all the same.

It would be difficult finding a better copy than this - and it's from 1969 a real rarity....



Any purchase is guaranteed to get to you quickly, safely, and with total satisfaction, or your money back.
