(Out of Several MILLION numbered issues!!)

1968 Apple Records Original Release

# SWBO-101

Heavy-gauge vinyl

TRUE FIRST PRESSING!!

With all 5 original printing errors, as detailed below:

1) "Bungalow Bill" on side one label - later changed to "The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill"

2) "Obladi Oblada" on side one label - later changed to Ob-la-di Ob-la-da

3) "Revolution No. 1" and "Revolution No. 9" on side four label - later changed to Revolution 1 and Revolution 9

4) "Goodnight" on side four label - later changed to "Good Night"

5) "Rocky Raccoon" mispelled inside jacket - corrected much later...

The Vinyl Records are play/visually graded strong EX+/VG+ with ultra-clean glossy wax, light superficial/non-invasive surface marks, limited very minor background, primarily between tracks with a few isolated ticks, and No Distracting POPS!!

"Revolution No 9" is the only track which has notable, albeit brief, and very minor "ticks" at the very beginning, which quickly dissipate into musical bliss!! All of the tracks on these LP's play between EX+ and NM!!

Awesome Sonics!!

side one matrix:  SWBO1-X1-101 J55 #1

side two matrix:  SWBO-X2-101 J49 #2

side three matrix:  SWBO-3-101-B35 3

side four matrix:  SWBO-4-101-A34: 2

the referenced matrix are spizer/hand engraved on all sides in the trail-off/dead wax

The Gatefold Jacket is graded EX+ with glossy surfaces with very mild rubbing and minor blemishes, solid title edge and a couple of clean top seam repairs from partial seam splitting, which is very common with these covers. The back bottom seam also has a very small repaired split.  No writing inside or out! Some fairly minor corner rubbing and bumping.

Definitely Frame Worthy Condition!!

All things considered....this really belongs in a frame!!

INCLUDES:

The Large folding Lyrics/Picture Collage POSTER -  Excellent overall condition!

All 4 individual PICTURES - Excellent condition!!

**********     Grading Info.     **********

We adhere to strict Goldmine Grading Standards

All of our LP's Are GUARANTEED!

All Vinyl LP's are both Visually and Play-Graded  For Quality Assurance

Visual inspection is performed with optimal 2x 100 watt Overhead Lighting 

Play-grading is performed on a Numark Professional USB interfaced turntable, Shure M97xE Audiophile cartridge, and Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones.

By Popular International Request

This is a numeric grading scale:

MINT  10.0

MINT-  9.9

NM  9.5

EX++  9.0

EX+  8.5

EX  8.0

VG++  7.0

VG+  6.0

VG 5.0

Anything below VG 5.0 is not really in collectible condition and would not sound good enough to play regularly, in my opinion.

 The Bottom Line:

If it isn't something that I'd play on my system, or something that I can't stand behind...I will not sell it!!
