Description

I do not sell copies. I am an honest dealer with good feedback and describe my listings as accurately as possible. If you have any enquiries about my listings, please contact me. Some feedback suggests my gradings are too low but I prefer to be a little strict rather than exaggerate!
THE BEATLES - YELLOW SUBMARINE (NOTHING IS REAL)  FIRST PRESS, LAMINATED SLEEVE PMC 7070 MONO 1969.  MATRIX SIDE A: VARIANT 1 XEX 715-1.  SIDE B VARIANT 1 XEX 716-1. ORIGINAL BLACK INNER SLEEVE. VINYL IS EX/ COVER IS EX.

SLEEVE:
The Laminated Gatefold sleeve is in EX condition for its age.There are no stuck on labels or stickers obviously removed and the sleeve is clean and shiny outside. The back is unlaminated but clean with no marks or stains. There is very light ring-wear to the front but the laminate is still in excellent condition. No seam splits but very slight edge wear to the top right. The rear picture and printing is still almost perfect. Catalogue numbers, EMI and Apple credits present. Tony Palmer review present as are the horizontal red lines below the tracklisting and below the Reviews. No creases in the sleeve which is in lovely condition for its age.
INNER SLEEVE
The Black Apple original inner sleeve is still present and intact but has a couple of light creases

LABELS:
The labels have black print on a green picture of the Apple design on side one and text on the Apple core on Side two. The are distinctive green texts around the outer black rims of the disc  All of the track listings and identification numbers etc. are very clean and unworn. Some very minor spindle wear.

TEST PLAYING:
Visually, this looked really excellent for its age with no deep scratches or signs of wear. I think the Disc is EX rather than Mint or Near Mint.
I test played this twice on High End Naim amplifiers in series, Kef Foundry Reference speakers, and an Audio Concept deck. In my opinion it was excellent! There were no mistracks, warping, jumps or skips, sticking,  loud pops or cracks etc.. There was some light surface noise detected between tracks but the vocals are very clear. Good separation of instruments and drums plus special effects. There are some hairline scratches from cleaning and handling but nothing that really detracted from the music or vocals and I thought the disc was excellent rather than just VG+ on playing. 
I will be using a Professional wet solution / hoover type Deep Groove Cleaning machine before sending, and provide a new replacement card inner sleeve and anti-static inner sleeve for your choice. The sleeve will have a new plastic cover. I will pack well with reinforced cardboard and a cardboard record case for protection. Postage is by Signed for process.
