	$		135

On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called "The Beatles 1967-1970" and is an ORIGINAL UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Apple labels!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS DOUBLE LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 'STICKERED' SLEEVE!!!!  BLUE VINYL COPIES OF THIS DOUBLE LP DO TURN UP FROM TIME TO TIME - BUT MOST DO NOT HAVE THIS MEGA RARE STICKER ON THE COVER FRONT.  MOST COPIES OF THIS LP DID NOT COME WITH THE MEGA RARE STICKER IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND MANY MORE HAD THEIR ORIGINAL STICKER PEELED AND LOST OVER THE YEARS.  AND EVEN WHEN A 'STICKERED' 1ST PRESSING DOES TURN UP - IT IS USUALLY IN LESS THAN PERFECT CONDITION WITH DAMAGE TO THE STICKER OR THE VINYLS.  BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!!  THIS BLUE VINYL 'STICKERED' 1ST PRESSING IS IN STUNNING CONDITION AND VERY HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS!!!!  IT IS VERY HARD INDEED TO FIND ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' BLUE VINYL 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP IN THIS CONDITION COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 'STICKERED' SLEEVE!!!!  

IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THE CORRECT DATE OF RELEASE FOR THIS BLUE VINYL 'STICKERED' 1ST PRESSING!!!!  SOME PEOPLE INACCURATELY QUOTE THIS LP AS BEING RELEASED ON BLUE VINYL IN 1973.  NATURALLY MOST COLLECTORS WILL ALREADY KNOW THAT THIS IS COMPLETELY INCORRECT- AND OF COURSE THE BLUE VINYL 1ST PRESSINGS HAD A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RELEASE DATE!!!!  WHILST THE COMMON BLACK VINYL PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE INDEED RELEASED ON THE 19TH APRIL 1973 - THE BLUE VINYLS WERE NEVER RELEASED AT THAT TIME (AND MOST LIKELY NOT EVEN THOUGHT OF!).  THE DECISION TO RELEASE THE LP ON BLUE VINYL WAS TAKEN IN 1978 AND THE BLUE VINYL 1ST PRESSINGS WERE RELEASED ON THE 30TH SEPTEMBER 1978.  AND SO OF COURSE (AS JUST STATED) THE CORRECT BLUE VINYL 1ST PRESSING DATE OF RELEASE IS THE 30TH SEPTEMBER 1978 (THERE WERE NO BLUE VINYLS BEFORE THIS DATE).  HOWEVER THESE BLUE VINYL 1ST PRESSINGS SOLD FAR FAR LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL BLACK VINYL RELEASE AND AS A RESULT IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND A BLUE VINYL 'STICKERED' 1ST PRESSING IN THIS CONDITION TODAY!!!!

THIS IS THE 1978 UK BLUE VINYL 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS APPLE LABELS, 1ST PRESS BLUE 'LYRIC' INNER SLEEVES, AND 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' GATEFOLD 'STICKERED' COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS VERY HARD INDEED TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION AS A GENIUNE 'STICKERED' 1ST PRESSING - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the original Apple UK BLUE VINYL 1st pressing from 1978 and is in STUNNING condition!!!! The Cat. No is PCSPB 718 on the 1st Press Apple Labels (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st pressing!!!!

The record labels on BOTH records are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in SUPERB condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO scratches, NO hairlines, and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOK SUPERB!!!!  It is great to find that the records play as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, and NO jumps!!!! Typically there is some VERY slight VERY low level touches of background crackle in places, and on one of the discs some slight background sound in places - though it is VERY important to note that this is from the pressing (NOT from wear) and virtually ALL Blue vinyls were pressed like this and ALL have varying degrees of background sound/crackle!!!!  There is NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! BOTH records must visually grade FULL Excellent if not better (with playing as described above)!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press Blue Lyric inner sleeves which are both in SUPERB condition and UNSPLIT!!!!  The 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Laminated Gatefold STICKERED Cover is in STUNNING condition!!!! The first thing to mention is that the sticker on the cover front is in absolutely AWESOME condition!!!!  The Cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (STUNNING shape to ALL corners), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is AMAZINGLY flat looking), STUNNING shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated inside is in AWESOME condition with NO wear, NO grubbyness, NO writing, and NO yellowing!!!! The cover must grade Excellent++ if not better!!!! AWESOME COVER!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND AS A GENIUNE BLUE VINYL1ST PRESSING WITH 'STICKERED' SLEEVE,  AND EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION -  SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this MEGA RARE LP!!!! THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY AN ORIGINAL UK 1978 BLUE VINYL 1ST PRESSING OF "THE BEATLES 1967-1970" BY THE BEATLES, IN STUNNING CONDITION!!!!  Dont forget to take a look at all my other items including many other TOP LPs and contact me with any queries you may have.
