Abbey Road
!HTM CUT!
(Professionally cleaned with Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record Cleaner)

ORIGINALLY released in 1969 this is a fantastic UK Beatles LP. This was the Beatles' 12th LP, released on the 26th September. It was also the last official Beatles release that was recorded by them. Staying at number one for almost 18 consecutive weeks, it was only knocked off by The Rolling Stones' "Let It Bleed."

EX-!
After giving her a gentle professional vacuum clean, I have just finished listening to her-all the way through-and found a SUPERBLY clear audio performance with just a small amount of background noise: There was a tiny amount of light background crackle on SAomething with some crackle right at the end of side 2 on The End Her Majesty...Other than that the audio was wonderfully clean, clear and rich.
I noticed a couple of stand-out monets: one on Maxwells Silver Hammer-where the electronic warbling shone out and another section on Octopus's Garden, where I noticed how perfectly in sync and perfectly clear the harmonies were on the track...Magical!
CERTAINLY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS.




Labels:
EX.
 Only light spindle marks-visible when angled towards the light and looking for them.  
NO "Sold in the UK..." text and the outer text begins: "Apple Records all rights.." "Mfd. in U.K." text. The labels are nice and vibrant.
It has the lighter version of this Apple label.
The last song credit DOES HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.
As you can see on side 2-there appaears to be a factory defect near the central hole...
Also has the 33 1/3 in the centre of the left text block.


PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED AND FEEL FREE TO READ MY FEEDBACK FOR HAPPY CUSTOMERS AND TRUE GRADINGS



Cover:
EX-.
The cover of this LP remains vibrant, it is the early front and back laminated cover. This lamination only has a couple of crescents of spidering to her, near the opening, with a few small fingers of spidering emanting from the seems...Please see the detailed images as these are not terrible at all.
The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is inline with the text.
There's some minimal rubbing/knocking to the corners, with the bottom left corner having a ding...nothing bad at all.
NO WRITING/RIPS OR TEARS
*NO BARCODE-IT IS AN EARLY COVER HERE*
WOULD FRAME VERY WELL


Inner:
VG+
 Original EMI white die-cut sleeve with no windows.
It has the correct period “Important Notice”  box to the front as well as “Made In Great Britain”
There is a small amount of rubbing to the bottom seam of around 2cm-which has gone through...As well as some foxing through age (don’t we all?! ;)


All in all this is a FANTASTIC sounding HTM pressing of a classic album.
COMPLETE WITH THE CORRECT INNER.
PROVIDING A RICH AUDIO FROM BACK IN THE DAY.
MAGICAL!
