BEATLES UK – Abbey Road LP, UK first issue, misaligned apple logo sleeve.

1969 PCS 7088 - Apple record labels.

A UK very first issue album in original condition, featuring:

1. a Misaligned APPLE logo mispress on the rear of the sleeve,

2. on side two of the record label the track ‘Her Majesty’ is not printed nor is it printed on the rear of the sleeve, but the track plays on the record !

CONDITION:

THE MAIN SLEEVE: is in near excellent condition, the sleeve is laminated front and rear. This laminate has a very good glossy finish to it. The original period ‘thin’ spine is in excellent+ condition and all the text on the spine is clear to read. As this is a very first issue of this album, from September 1969, it features the Apple logo on the rear of the sleeve misaligned, to the left !. EMI were quick to correct this and very soon the sleeves were changed and the Apple logo was correctly aligned with the song listing. There are NO stains, pen writing or splits. To the front, midway opening edge there is a tear, 5mm and some ‘indentions’ to the laminate on the front and rear, to the centre , these only really show when the sleeve is tilted to the light. The rear right bottom has some ‘sticker residue’ possibly from an old sticker that has long come off.

THE INNER SLEEVE: is in very good++ condition and is the original period plain white EMI sleeve, with its ‘Patent no’ 1,125,555. Theres NO pen writing, splits, tears, stains, stickers or sticker residue on the sleeve.

THE VINYL: is in very good condition. The vinyl is made from the period thick, heavy vinyl.  

The matrix are:  YEX 749 - 2  and  YEX  750 - 1,

The mother/stampers are:  ‘1  M O M ’  and  ‘ 2   A O T ’,

THE AUDIO: is very good, it plays with crackle, some ‘ticks’ and some ‘pops’ here and there. The record lays flat on the turntable.

THE LABELS: are in near excellent condition. As this is a very first issue, side one shows a DARK green Apple colour. The labels are free from any pen writing, stickers or sticker residue.
