Description

An original 1st press of AR on the UK Apple label from 1969. Matrix 2/1 [1st cut]. Please note that the labels DO NOT mention 'Her Majesty' next to the track 'The End' - this is the main indicator of VERY 1st press. Well worth seeking out these early copies they sound fab and were pressed that bit heavier too. This example is super chunky. The vinyl comes house in an original thin spine cover with laminated waxy surfaces. We also have the original 'patent pending' inner sleeve. So, we're 100% genuine and 100% complete. We will ship in a replica black inner for maximum protection.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) A lightly used copy which is in great condition given the vintage and relative popularity of this title. Under close inspection there are a few very slight markings observable on side 1. [Bear that in mind if you are someone who is super fussy about looks]. Fully tested - they don't seem to be impinging on the audio at all really - a really solid clean player. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback with two deviations. Intros and inbetweens are lovely and quiet and the audio comes across with superb clarity. The audio on these early copies is legendary and it is very much evident on this example too. Highly addictive! The question with AR is can you find a copy that has seen sufficiently light use that those lowkey super fussy sections play clean. And I'm pleased to report that this is one of the best examples I've witnessed. It is closing in on perfect - and that is no mean feat on this very fussy title. Side 2 in particular is very fussy in parts - long lowkey passages which will trip up the majority of copies. Side 2 plays impeccably - hardly any original copies will play to this standard. The Bird Song at the start of  'Sun King' is unusually clean. All I could detect was a couple of minor ticks late on side 2 accompanied by a couple of crackles in a couple of spots [as the side closes out]. And a couple of minor ticks going into 'Golden Slumbers'. Overall I'd argue this is a very small price to pay for what is one of the consistently cleanest players I've witnessed. Top draw - and would be extremely difficult to match, let alone better. This copy will smoke 90% of decent copies out there...It is very highly accomplished. 
Cover (Ex/Ex+) Has been very carefully looked after and the front and back are looking super tidy.  Excellent colour retention - the aesthetic is preserved pretty much perfectly. Just a couple of minor thumbnails front and back. Worth mentioning the cover lies really nice and flat. hardly any signs of edge wear and sharp firm openings. The spine is 100% intact. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity. A very impressive original example.
Inner (Vg+) Better than you often tend to find. Light ageing. No splits.
