LOVELY COPY - SEEN A FEW SPINS BUT BEEN VERY CAREFULLY HANDLED
PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY THROUGHOUT
RELEASED IN THE US (but not the UK) IN 1970 ON THE BACK OF 'ABBEY ROAD', THE RECORD WAS A HUGE SUCCESS (selling over 3 million) AND TO MEET DEMAND EMI UK PRESSED COPIES (CPCS 106) FOR SHIPMENT ABROAD - BUT EVEN WITH THE US SALES EMI DID NOT RELEASE THE RECORD AT HOME UNTIL 1979 (PCS 7184)

LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, bright and fresh labels with moderate spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen and are practically unmarked - wispy light sleeve-removal hairlines only
VINYL Audio: MINT-
Outstanding sound performance throughout - crystal clear, deep, warm, rich and detailed - beautifully recorded and engineered and my play-check at very loud volume detected nothing to fault - this is an exceptionally clean pressing with practically silent run-ins and track divisions
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
The sleeve is very thin and flat with crisp, sharp edges and spine - all spine text is clear and bold (this text is also reproduced on the top edge of the sleeve). The laminated surfaces have a deep, glass-like glossy sheen with very little rubbing and apart from some minor light creases to the extremities this is a very fine example - practically like-new
