Description
This UK original pressing was issued on Apple Records with a notable misaligned Apple logo label variation, a printing anomaly found on early runs of PCS 7088.
The front cover is the original UK crop, with a slightly tighter framing compared to later issues, showing less sky above the rooftops and reduced visibility of the drainage grating in the bottom right corner.
Early label variants of this pressing also did not include “Her Majesty” on the Side B label, which was added in later corrected versions.
Matrix numbers appear as printed on the release:
YEX 749-2 GHT3 / YEX 750-1 RH1
- Cover:
Condition VG+ (The spine is in excellent condition, but the bottom left edge is slightly bent. I think it can be straightened out under weight.) - White inner sleeve included.
- Vinyl: VG+
In quiet passages and between tracks, there is occasional background noise (light crackling), which does not interfere with enjoying the very dynamic, analog sound of this 1st UK pressing.
- Extras: Never stored in a smoking environment.
Сlean copy with excellent dynamics, perfect for collectors and Beatles enthusiasts.
The record is already in the USA, so no customs fees apply!
