GEORGE HARRISON
======================================================================
*WONDERWALL MUSIC* UK Mono 1st pressing - 1968
================================================================ 
NO OFFERS PLEASE - AUCTION ONLY
================================================================ Some 'firsts' here: The first solo venture by any Beatle. The first L.P. to appear on the Apple label and the  first Beatle solo release to be deleted. Wonderwall Music was released 3 weeks before the 'White Album'  on 1st November 1968. It failed to chart and as such, can be considered a relatively rare vinyl record in  terms of anything attributed to a Beatle, at that time.   ================================================================

THE DISC
Matrix: Side1: APCOR 1A-1 (crossed out AP 1A-1)      Stamper code: 1-M Matrix: Side2: APCOR 1B-1 (crossed out AP 1B-1)      Stamper code: 1-M
AUDIO - VG / VG+
Sound quality is undiminished throughout the whole album. There are no skips or stalls. However, there are some surface lines which do cause the odd 'click/pop' here and there but the majority of tracks have no issues.
VISUALLY - VG+ / VG+ 
The vinyl surfaces have retained an excellent deep gloss finish, suggesting play on good equipment and could possibly merit a higher grading but there are some light needle lines which are mainly very short. This is a great looking disc and it is surprising that there are any 'pops' or 'clicks' at all.
LABELS - EX-
The labels are in great condition. Both sides do display spindle trails, in keeping with a disc that has been played and enjoyed. Of course, as a first pressing, they display the 'Sold In UK' text. 
=====================================================================================
THE COVER - VG+
The fully laminated cover is in very good condition. It does display age related toning and the expected perimeter wrinkles, as well as some thumb bends near to the opening. There are some pressure lines (only really noticeable against reflected light), but overall, it is a very solid example. There is a tiny bit of rubbing on the spine but all the wording is in perfect condition.
=====================================================================================
THE INSERT - EX
This unique item, specifically designed for this album, gives details about the variety of musicians used to create all of the songs. It does show signs of handling and age toning but is in great condition overall and is often found missing from original issues.
=====================================================================================
THE INNER SLEEVE - GOOD
In keeping with any first issue, this album comes with its genuine original, single die-cut paper inner. The soft paper used here is of poor quality and prone to tearing. Two of the seams are split at their centres and there is a tear on the edge of the hole but this example is still better than most and is still largely intact.
