Description

Nice original first issue of The Beatles Abbey Road Album. The original pressings show the drain cover on the bottom front cover and are without Her Majesty printed on the label or cover. The cover is in beautiful near mint condition still in the shrink.

The record must be given a VG+ rating due to what I believe is a a factory flaw in the record, a small batch of 1/4 inch scratches shown in the photo causing some light clicking during the instrumental middle of Come Together, luckily it clicks at the same beat as the song plays so it's not real annoying. Once the middle instrumental ends the clicking ends.The rest of the lp plays great and the whole thing appears beautiful and probably only played twice once by me and once by the person who opened it.

The side 2 label has a flaw in the B in Beatles it looks like a drill hole but its not, just bad print.

I purchased this lp some years ago from a guy in LA who of course listed it as Mint. He let me find the surprises. Now I'm listing it in the correct condition and pointing out the issues so there are no surprises.

 

 Goldmine Magazine era some years before Ebay. I've never purchased records with the thought of reselling them, I bought them because I loved records and wanted to gradually build my own personal collection. Many times I'd upgraded and then upgraded again just to get that perfect cover and record. Along the way I've been hit by surprises and ripped off hundreds of times by know it alls and MINT monsters who almost always over grade everything. So as a buyer I know exactly how it feels to be ripped off.

I occasionally sell records on Ebay. As a seller I am probably one of the lousiest money makers out there. I believe I should be right up front in detailing my items and grade them accordingly, and there should be no surprises to the buyer when they receive their item. In other words exceed the buyers expectations.
