Description
🎵 THE BEATLES – ABBEY ROAD | UK APPLE PCS 7088 | Early Pressing | YEX 749-2 / 750-1
A classic and highly desirable UK copy of one of the most loved albums ever made — iconic, timeless, and still essential on vinyl.
✨ Why this copy matters
Abbey Road is not simply a famous record — it is one of the defining albums in music history. From Come Together and Something to the unforgettable medley on side two, it remains one of those albums that collectors, Beatles fans, and everyday listeners always come back to.
What makes this copy especially appealing is that it is a UK Apple pressing with the visible matrix numbers YEX 749-2 / YEX 750-1. That places it in the early UK pressing family — a type of copy collectors actively look for, because original British Beatles pressings have a special place in the market and in serious collections.
This is not being presented as a top “grail” variant, but it is absolutely a desirable early UK pressing with real collector appeal, especially compared with later common reissues.

📝 Condition
Vinyl: VG (Very Good)
The record has been played and shows visible signs of use, including light scratches, marks and general wear. Playback may include some light background noise or occasional crackle, but there are no dominant skips and the album remains enjoyable, clear and strong for regular listening.
Sleeve: VG (Very Good)
The cover shows honest age-related wear, including edge and corner rubbing, laminate wear, light creasing and general handling marks. The artwork remains attractive and fully present, with text and design still clearly readable.
🔍 Collector note
Collectors often check Abbey Road very carefully by label style, country, sleeve construction and especially matrix numbers. This copy has the attractive combination of a UK Apple label and early YEX 749-2 / 750-1 matrices, which gives it genuine collector interest.
In plain terms: this is not an ordinary later budget reissue. It is an early UK example with stronger appeal, even if condition keeps it out of the top collector bracket.
💬 Honest description
This is the kind of copy many buyers actually like to own: original character, real age, real history, and still very presentable on the shelf. It is not a museum piece, but it is a true vintage UK Beatles pressing with the right look, the right label style, and the kind of runout details people want to see.
Please study all photos carefully, as they form an important part of the description. If you would like any additional close-up photos or a short video, just message me — I am always happy to show more.
