Description
The Beatles – Abbey Road 1st UK pressing with 1st Sleeve variant showing less sky (noticeable over the roof tops right) and less of the drainage grating bottom right, no Her Majesty on Label or Back Cover and totally misaligned apple on the back.
COVER: Both front Cover and Back cover are in near MINT condition, all the glossy is still there, corners are all firm, no split seams, no tear and wear, opening mouth is still factory sharp and the spine looks new. A beautiful example of this phenomenal album. LABELS: Couldn't see any spindle marks in it, they look MINT SLEEVE: Comes with the traditional black sleeve in excellent condition with the hole so you can see the apple logo through. VINYL: Looks near MINT on side one and there are some little scuffs on side 2 that don't affect the playing at all. AUDIO: Plays beautifully with no skips, doesn't stick, jump, crackle or pop. Only very few little ticks on SIDE 2 that prevent it from being totally MINT.
Early Mother stamper # 3 for side 2 and #9 for side 1.
- Matrix / Runout (Side A runout stamped): YEX 749-2 MOR 9
