The Beatles - Abbey Road (Misprint/Misaligned) Vinyl LP Album 1st Press Sleeve Variant 1969)
Media Condition: Near Mint (NM or M-) Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)
An E.M.I. Recording. Photographs by Iain Macmillan Printed by Garrod & Lofthouse International Ltd.
This first press has all the variations on the sleeve and labels. The apple logo is misaligned with the rest of the text. Her majesty is missing from both the sleeve and the vinyl label.
The vinyl is in fabulous condition and sounds superb, it’s glossy with just a few minor hairlines from the inner sleeve, a genuine first pressing matrix variant, YAX 749-2 & 750-1.
The sleeve and spine are in very good condition, the laminate has not peeled, it does have some slight ring wear which shows a little on the laminate and slight edge wear to the opening end of the sleeve. The best copy of the misprint ‘Abbey Road’ I have seen!
Please note: Has a white inner sleeve and not black as stated in the description below.
This is an original misaligned 1st pressing, a well looked after, classic pop/prog rock album worthy of any serious collector!
