Label: Apple Cat: PMC 7067

Year: 1968 First Press No. 0298061

Vinyl Condition: VG

Sleeve Condition: VG

Notes: This version is the First release, crossover pressing between first and second issues, with top opening G & L Gatefold Sleeve, Black Inners, Poster & 4 Colour Prints, Dark Green Label, with Ⓟ & "Sold In The UK...." Text. Numbered Edition. This was released without the text 'An E.M.I. Recording' on Side 1, but with the text 'An E.M.I. Recording' on Side 2, 3 and 4.

The vinyls still have a glossy finish but there are number of scuffs and marks from general use. They play well though with a little surface noise in the quiet spots and their is a hairline on Side 4 which produces an intermittent soft click throughout. The labels are crisp and clean and show very little sign of spindle wear. The top-loading sleeve has some spine wear and some ring wear but is otherwise in nice condition. It comes with the poster and the 4 photos all in EX- NM condition and there is one original black inner sleeve. My Ref: No.1 Matrix:

XEX 709-1, XEX 710-1, XEX 711-3, XEX 712-1  

All albums have been play tested on my Pro-ject Debut III with standard Ortofon cartridge. I don't often sell albums that are graded below VG - usually only when they are quite rare examples. With albums of G+ or less grading which are typically very well played and scratched, I have found it impossible to assess whether a scratch results in a click or a jump as it depends what set up you have. I will still make every effort to point out where feelable scratches are present. 

I will happily combine postage costs - if buying more than one album please wait for an invoice before paying. Please see my other listings.
