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."

Vinyl:
153g
QUALITY VINYL
VG+
Lovely vinyl, only some very, VERY light marks to her....When playing her all the way through, I noticed a wonderfully clear and rich audio reproduction...She plays through superbly well.
Visually, I can see 2 light marks to side 2, extending for around 4 songs-When playing over these sections I noticed just a gentle revolutionary pop on You Never Give Me Your Money and a small amount on Sun King-but it was rather faint and not offensive at all...I think it is due to it being such a quality HEAVYWEIGHT slab of vinyl from the 60's!!
VERY, very critically: All I noticed were a couple of incredibly short lived revolutionary pops-nothing at all to affect my enjoyment at the great playback.
JUST HAD THE UTTER JOY OF LISTENING TO HER
FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN
Clear, rich & deep audio, with high peaks and low bass.
REALLY RICH A FULL AUDIO PLAYBACK
Labels:
EX.
There are only VERY light spindle marks-evident ONLY when angling towards the light and looking for them!
Just a small amount of central hole wear to the side 1 label-with side 2 being free from any.
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.
The last song credit DOES NOT HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.
Very displayable.
Cover:
VG(+).
The cover of this LP is ALSO WONDERFULLY CLEAN & STRONG!
The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is NOT inline with the text. The spine is lovely and strong, WITHOUT any flaws.
I noticed around 12 wrinkles of spidering to the front laminate....As well as around 8 crescents to the back laminate and some fingers of spidering eminating from the seams.
Wonderful deep and rich colours which would make her great for framing.
NO WRITING
NO RIPS
Even the corners are lovely and strong-one has slightly more rubbing/knocking than the other 3, but this is just 1cm's worth!
WONDERFULLY CLEAN AND STRONG SPINE
Please see the detailed images for yourselves and click on them for even larger images and more detail.

Inner:
G+
It is the ORIGINAL BLACK INNER! So rare to find!
This inner, in itself is pretty rare as it comes from the Apple family!!
Unfortunately there is some wear to her, with the one window having some small tears, the opening having feathering and the bottom seam having just a very small 1cm split...I think she has survived incredibly well!
I shall include another white die-cut period inner from APPLE in NEAR MINT condition!
With..
"IMPORTANT NOTICE COPYRIGHT EXISTS IN ALL APPLE RECORDINGS...." text
It also has the "MADE IN GREAT BRITIAN" text to the bottom, as well as the Patent No. 1125 555 too.
NO splits or writing.
Only very light creasing.
VERY EARLY AND VERY NICE TOO!
THIS IS A LOVELY COLLECTABLE PIECE IN REALLY COLLECTABLE CONDITION
GRAB THIS BEAUTY FOR ITS LOOKS AND GREAT SOUND REPRODUCTION!
NOT FORGETTING THE EARLY MOTHERS/STAMPERS-MISALIGNED APPLE AND ORIGINAL BLACK INNER!
