🧠 Collector Notes

  • The MFSL 1-023 pressing is one of the best-regarded Abbey Road reissues for sound quality — many audiophiles prefer it over most other vinyl editions except the UHQR version (which sells for over $1,000).

  • Even without the original inner sleeve, it’s still a desirable audiophile piece.

  • The Japanese JVC “Super Vinyl” used in MFSL pressings has extremely low surface noise and high durability, which adds collector appeal.

  • Edge fray is common due to the thick gatefold cardboard used by MFSL; it usually doesn’t drastically hurt value unless severe.
