Description
An original 1st pressing of Abbey Road on the Apple label from 1969. Matrix -1/-2. The record label makes no mention of 'Her Majesty' and this identifies it, along with the matrix numbers, as an original first pressing from 1969. The record is also a very decent solid pressing unlike later reissues. The Lp comes housed in its original Garrod & Lofthouse cover and original white inner sleeve. So, this is 100% complete and 100% original - and in great condition to boot.
Vinyl (Ex-) Is still nice and shiny and has clearly seen only minimal use. Under close inspection I can only make out a couple of very light marks - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a near EXCELLENT level of playback. Intros and inbetweens are nice and quiet and the audio comes across with excellent clarity and with minimal interference. There's some very light static crackles here and there....but it's really only vaguely audible in the quieter passages. It's worth noting that these first issues from 1969 are really solid and the sound quality is absolutely top draw. Beautiful full range sound with bags of detail. A lot of Abbey Road is very low-key stuff and so many copies easily show noticeable deterioration - but this copy really is very well preserved indeed.
Cover (Ex-) Has survived the years in amazing condition and looks lovely and shiny. There's very little wear visible at all just a couple of light creases. It feels really nice and rigid - and the text on the spine is entirely intact, but please note there's a one inch split.
Inner (VG+) One two inch split - and that's it.
Any purchase is guaranteed to get to you quickly, safely, and with total satisfaction, or your money back.
