Description

An original 1st press of AR on the UK Apple label.... What's NOT to like! Matrix 2/1 - very 1st cut. Please note that you can REALLY only claim 1st pressing if the labels DO NOT mention 'Her Majesty'. And this copy definitely DOES NOT mention "Her Majesty". It's pressed on lovely thick 60's vinyl and let me assure you that there is NO BETTER way possible to take in AR than on a clean 1st press..the audio is to die for. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original G&L ultra-thin spine. We have included an original generic white inner from the time. But also there's a black brand-new REPLICA inner sleeve to give that authentic '69 Apple feel/effect. So, 100% complete and 100% genuine.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) In lovely condition and has only seen light use. Under close inspection there a couple of light marks per side, and a couple of super-light trails. But let me assure you that none of this is remotely troublesome or remotely gets into the audio spectrum. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly  EXCELLENT+ level of playback with two slight deviations. Anyone who owns a clean 1st player will know exactly what I mean when I say there is NO better way to take in this album. Intros and inbetweens are really very nice and quiet and the audio comes across with superb clarity. AR has lots of delicate intricate moments - side 2 is chock full of low-key classics. If you don't get a CLEAN copy it is GAME OVER for a defining-top-level-rendition. But this copy was owned by a listener who only played the records a limited amount and was very very careful with them. Thankfully that has meant it has arrived in 2020 in really impressive condition, and it now allows a new listener to experience exactly what it was like to hear AR for REAL straight outta '69. I'm really picking up very little background at all - by and large. The only vague background is detected in the intro to 'YNGMYM' and then occasionally in  "SUN KING" - this is almost impossible to rule out entirely and, even then, it is minor. But, literally, this is about as clean as it is realistically possible to go without flipping one out of a '69 sealed wrapper. A beautiful player in every respect - highly recommended.
Cover (Ex) Again, the owner was a fastidious individual and not all original AR covers look this well kept. Lovely shiny and flat front and rear. I can only make out a couple of tiny thumbnail creases on the rear and a couple slightly more noticeable ones at the opening on the front. There's also a tiny light brown mark up in the extreme top-left..it's practically invisible but I must mention it. Edge wear is close on non-existent and the openings still sharp. The spine is 100% intact. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity and remains a seriously impressive example.
Inner (Ex-) Very little ageing. No splits.
