The Beatles Hey Jude/The Beatles Again LP Still in Original Shrink Wrap

$

90

I am selling more BEATLES and BEATLES-RELATED LPs from my collection, so, please check my other auctions, too.

 In this auction: 

·       “HEY JUDE”/“THE BEATLES AGAIN” by the Beatles  

·       This LP is Apple Records SW-385.

·       This LP was issued February 26, 1970.

·       This LP consolidated 10 Beatles singles that were originally released in the 7-inch (45 RPM) format, but were never included on an LP until this LP.

·       The labels identify this LP as “The Beatles Again”, but the labels have the corrected catalog number of SW-385. (It was changed from SO-385 to SW-385.) “Mfd. by Apple” is printed on the sliced-Apple label.

·       This LP was issued in covers with the LP title “Hey Jude” and the correct catalog number SW-385 printed on the spine.  This is the correct cover in this auction.

·       The cover is of cardboard construction (NOT poster-board) with front and rear slicks pasted on. (Poster-board covers were used after 1976.)

·       The COVER is in STRONG VG+ CONDITION. It is STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP. The Shrink Wrap has “breathe holes”. There is a small tear in the shrink wrap at the top right corner on the reverse and 2 small staple holes where a price tag was once attached. (Only a small push with slight wear on the lower right corner at the opening and some moderate wear on 1 ½ -inch of the top seam near the top left corner where the shrink wrap is torn/worn through kept me from grading the cover as Near Mint Minus.)

·       The VINYL is in NEAR MINT CONDITION.
