Fantastic 1969 Beatles UK LP. This was the Beatles' 12th LP, released on the 26th September. It was also the last official Beatles release that was recorded by them. Staying at number one for almost 18 consecutive weeks, it was only knocked off by The Rolling Stones' "Let It Bleed."

A LOVELY EARLY PRESSING HERE with the very 1st 1/1 MOTHERS!!


Vinyl:
QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT 145g VINYL
VG.
 Lovely SHINY vinyl. She only carries some light marks-with BARELY ANY background noise!
HAVE A LISTEN TO THE CLIP PROVIDED TO HEAR HOW CLEAR SHE IS :)
After I cleaned her on my Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record cleaner I had the utter joy of listening to her-all the way through....
I found the vinyl delivered a wonderful clean and clear audio playback....With deep bass and glorious highs too.
All I noticed were a just two pops in the middle of You Never Give Me Your Money, but didn't skip on a light needle setting on my deck. I then noticed two tiny skips in succesion, right at the end of She Came In Through The Bathroom Window...I think these will play over with a better clean and slightly heavier stylus than mine.
When playing side 2, I noticed a slight undulation-not noticable to side 1, but this didn't make any difference to the playback.
In fact the audio was gorgeously rich and full-bodied :)
Visually there is a little light blooming towards the edge but nothing to affect playback at all and only noticeable when angled towards the light and looking for it.


Labels:
EX.
 There are only a handful of very light spindle marks, seen when angled towards the light and looking for them...With barely any central hole wear.
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED
  NO "Sold in the UK..." text.
Outer text begins: "Apple Records all rights.."
"Mfd. in U.K." text. The labels are nice and vibrant.
This is the 1st pressing DARKER version of this Apple label.
Has the '33 1/3' to the extreem left.
NO WRITING
The last song credit DOES NOT HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.


Cover:
VG.
The cover of this LP is the rarer 1st print cover; with the alignment of the Apple Logo on the back NOT being inline with the text.
The spine remains lovely and strong, as well as legible and WHITE.
There many small crescents and lines of spidering to the laminated front and back cover, but these are more noticable when angled towards the light...So I think framing her would work very well and the back.
The corners remain strong with just some light rubbing, but again-nothing terrible at all.
SOLID VG EXAMPLE.
NO SPLITS OR TEARS.
 The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is OUT OF LINE with the text.
*FRAME THIS BEAUTY*


Inner:
EX
 ORIGINAL "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" and "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" inner...These were only issued with the very 1st pressings.
There's barely even any discoloration to the paper-as can be seen in the images provided!
NO SPLITS.
NO WRITING.
Certainly done her job in keeping this very early slab of vinyl in great condition!
**A collectors piece in it's own right**
