IS THIS A DECCA PRESSING ? YOU DECIDE ? PLEASE READ ON ....
DONT MISS IT !!!
This LP really does not need an introduction. Abbey Road was quintessentially a defining moment for The Beatles. An absolutely groundbreaking LP the likes we are unlikely to see the like again.
Take a chance to grab yourself a real bargain. This is an ORIGINAL UK 1969 RE-ISSUE EXPORT PRESSING. It is a STEREO UK PRESSING.
Dont be disappointed. Bid Early.

SLEEVE CONDITION : VERY GOOD
ANOTHER STRANGE ANOMOLY OF THIS LP IS THE FLIPBACK SLEEVE? With some EXPORT LPs the manufacture of the actual sleeve was up to the country where the LP was to go to and in this case a flipback sleeve was used. THIS IS DIFFERNENT TO THE UK LP WHICH WAS NON FLIP-BACKED. Sleeve is VERY GOOD. It has been selotaped down 2 sides a partly down the opening edge. This has been done unnecessarily (This has been done to preserve the edges). It does not look bad because of this and looks unnoticable. Has some creasing but nothing too serious. NO WRITING. Slight nick to opening edge.
LABEL CONDITION : EXCELLENT
Original Silver & Black ONE BOXED EMI labels are in EXCELLENT condition. There is very little noticable spindle wear to speak of. Text is bright and labels are CLEAN WITH NO WRITING etc.
Notice the indented ridge identifying this as a DECCA PRESSING ?
VINYL CONDITION : GOOD
Manufactured on top quality heavy vinyl this LP maintains a nice shine. What lets this LP down is that is sticks in a few places. It sticks twice on side 1 and a few more on side 2. A professional clean may resolve some of these issues. Despite this it is still a very sought after LP and it may be a long time before you see another. It shows many surface marks and on the whole most of these are superficial. I will rate this as only GOOD to avoid any disappointment.
PERSONAL COMMENTS :
A really RARE Beatles item. I cannot decide if this is a DECCA Pressing (AND IT BEARS ALL THE HALLMARKS) so I will let you decide.
Postal insurance, if required, will be extra.
