A true 1968 original “Crossover” pressing-Apple labels featuring “EMI Recording” on disc 1. Fairly solid black inners with one repaired. Disc 2 is heavy-duty vinyl. Vinyl shows fairly minor handling. Playback is pretty solid with some surface-noise (quite listenable). Side 1 contains the highly coveted 1 G stamper (earliest possible stamper)! The sleeve is very solid (almost VG+ for it’s age), only revealing some of it’s age in the pictures provided. She’s overall a nice copy, and a very special find for those searching for the 1 G’s. No original poster or photos, replacements from an early 70’s edition have been added as a bonus to complete the set. All -1’s in the runouts (Side 3 has a 2 T stamper if that matters). No K T tax code present.
