No is APPLE 44 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Apple label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing (I believe this is MONO - but it doesnt specify?)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s records had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only a few small 'dappled' surface traces (100% DEFINITELY from the ORIGINAL pressing - and EXACTLY how this record was ORIGINALLY made!), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves ONLY (again - this is EXACTLY how this record was ORIGINALLY made back in 1972!)!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better - though considering EVERYTHING mentioned on this record was EXACTLY as it was pressed, made & packed back in 1972 - it really deserves a FAR higher grading (perhaps Excellent+ if not better would be more accurate)!!!!  SUPERB RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL ULTRA RARE 'Pink-Patterned' Custom Sleeve which is in absolutely SUPERB condition - with NO damage AT ALL!!!!  This 'Custom' Sleeve must grade Excellent+ if not better and it is hard to imagine how it could EVER be bettered!!!!  SUPERB SLEEVE!!!!  THIS 10" 78 IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
