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."

Vinyl:

145g-UTTER QUALITY VINYL

EX+

After giving her firstly a vacuum clean, then followed by an ultrasonic bath and finally a last vacuum clean, I listened to the whole album and this is what I found:

*SIMPLY GORGEOUS AUDIO REPRODUCTION THROUGHOUT*

Really was incredible-with as silent run-ins and outs as you could hope for!

Even quiet during the transitions of the tracks.

When angled towards bright light; I noticed just faint hairline marks from simple removal and replacement of the inner.

The audio really sounded like a HOT STAMPER audio with incredible richness and depth throughout.

It is a very long time since I have come across audio this rich and clean.

To demonstrate the clarity of the audio I have recorded the very enf of The End, through the silence and into Her Majesty...Now not many people can say they have a slab of vinyl with this silence demonstrated in the audio clip provided!

*FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN*

Labels:

EX+!

There are only a small handful of very light spindle marks-evident when angling towards the light.

With barely any central hole wear.

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 NOT HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.

*VERY FRAMEABLE*

The 33 1/3 is aligned to the extreme right at 9 o’clock-showing this to be a very 1st pressing.

Cover:

EX.

The cover of this LP really is GREAT.

The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is NOT inline with the text...Showing this to be the VERY 1st printing run, as this was later change to being inline with the text.

The spine is lovely, clear, strong and perfectly legible.

Just a few small lines of spidering to the front/back laminate, with smaller fingers of spidering emanating from the seams..

NO WRITING

NO RIPS

NO SPLITS

Only minimal rubbing/knocking to the corners, which remain wonderfully sharp.

DEEP CLEAN AND CLEAR COLOURS.

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

FRAME THIS BEAUTY!

Inner:

EX-.

Original, early ‘PATENTS APPLIED FOR’ white die-cut sleeve.

Also has the "MADE IN ENGLAND" text to the bottom too.

Small 3.5cm split to 2 seams.

Would look great framed.
