Description
The Beatles – Abbey Road
Overall a Good playable copy, but not perfect copy of a first press variant of this best selling album. The disc plays very good to my ears with only modest crackle and a few pops, however it has a very slight WARP to it that doesn’t affect play.
This version is the "first label, revised cover" version:
Dark green labels with a whole apple on the A-side 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, neither does the sleeve. The labels are quite dark, although the actual shade of green varies between copies.
Comes in a fully 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.
Another distinguish trait of this pressing is the alternate indenting style on the last two lines of Side B ("Northern Songs. NCB" is by itself on the last line).
℗ 1969
Mfd. in U.K.
The sleeve is slightly worn, it has a nasty scuff on one corner and some pronounced creasing.
Disc has been cleaned.
