PRINTING ERROR

Fantastic 1969 Beatles UK 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."

LOVELY AND EARLY HERE

Vinyl:

QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT 147g

**EX+*

Lovely vinyl, I can only see a few incredibly light marks to her-nothing significant at all..I didn’t hear them in playback…

I have just given here a gentle professional vacuum clean, followed by an ultrasonic clean and then had the utter pleasure of listening to her-all the way through.

There was a clean and clear, deep, rich stereo sound reproduction. I could even hear sections where Georges hand was sliding up the neck of the guitar to change chords!

MAGICAL

**Really was a joy to listen too**

CERTAINLY NO JUMPS, SKIPS OR STICKS...Even on a very light arm setting.

FLAT as the day she was born.

Labels:

EX+.

There is a handful of very light spindle marks. These are only seen when angled towards the light and looking for them...With NO central hole wear at all.

NO WRITING

NO "Sold in the UK..." text.

Outer text begins: "Apple Records all rights.."

"Mfd. in U.K." text. The labels are nice and vibrant.

This is the 1st pressing DARKER version of this Apple label.

The last song credit DOES HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.

Unusually there is a factory defect to the printing on the side 2 label with a line in the printing process extending the length of the label-this is NOT added on there-this was done in the manufacturing of the labels.

Would frame incredibly well.

Cover:

EX+.

This FULLY LAMINATED cover of this LP has been incredibly well looked after.

The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is inline with the text. The spine is lovely and strong....With the original factory pinches to the top and bottom.

I noticed only small fingers of spidering emanating from the seams and a tiny bit of lifting (not broken through) to the laminate, near the spine-NOTHING at all to worry about.

NO WRITING

NO RIPS

Lightly rubbed corners. They remain sharp.

VERY CLEAN AND STRONG SPINE.

Please see the detailed images for yourselves and click on them for even larger images and more detail.

Also why not read my feedback for fair gradings and happy customers.

WOULD FRAME VERY WELL.

Inner:

Near Mint!

ORIGINAL white, die-cut inner, IN TOP CONDITION.

NO splits or writing.

Just some slight discolouration is all..NO SPLITS.

It is the rarer PATENTS APPLIED FOR very early inner too :)

THIS REMAINS A COLLECTABLE PIECE.

GRAB THIS BEAUTY FOR ITS LOOKS AND GREAT SOUND REPRODUCTION-ALL WRAPPED UP IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE & ALL TOGETHER WITH THE RARER PATENTS PENDING INNER.
