Description

Item description Complete & original 1st UK press of The Beatles 1969 album ‘Abbey Road’.  Released on the 26th September 1969, 1st pressing had a -2/-1 matrix, the final track 'Her Majesty' omitted from the label, and an incorrectly printed sleeve with the Apple logo on the rear famously out of alignment with the copy text.   

Matrix numbers: -2 -1 Confirming its 1st UK press status. Side 1 YEX 749 -2 and Side 2 YEX 750 -1

  • Misprinted Sleeve: With a misaligned Apple logo on the back 
  • Error Labels: Omitting 'Her Majesty': A distinctive feature of the first pressing.
  • Stampers: 1 MLG / 1 AMP (1st Mothers both sides)
  • Patent no. 1125-555
Condition: 
  • EXCELLENT CONDITION-  Vinyl is super-glossy and clean when viewed in good natural light.
  • The disc sits completely flat on the turntable with no warping. The audio is as good as the disc looks.
  • There are obviously no skips or sticks with this quality and no repeat clicks or loud obtrusive pops. 
  • The audio is graded EXCELLENT. 
  • (Excellent condition indicates very light minor surface marks that are not audible)
  • Minor crackle at the start of record before music begins but clears quickly and plays crystal clear and without interference throughout both sides.

  • The sleeve is in fantastic condition, glossy, clean, no obvious ring wear, fully readable spine, extremely light signs of handling only, with Apple log
