The Beatles – ABBEY ROAD Authentic First UK Press, First UK Cover Variant, near MINT!
Only the Cover with less sky is the TRUE FIRST PRESSING OF THIS ALBUM. The front cover photo is more tightly cropped than on other releases, showing less sky (noticeable over the roof tops right) and less of the drainage grating bottom right. The sleeve has arrow spines.
1st Press Stereo - Less sky showing. 
Complete & original 1st UK press of The Beatles 1969 album ‘Abbey Road’. Released on the 26th September 1969, the 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.   

STAMPERS: 
Matrix / Runout (Side A runout stamped, variant 1): YEX 749-2 ODD 4 Matrix / Runout (Side B runout stamped, variant 1): YEX 750-1 ATR 3

COVERS: They have all the original gloss there is only a small crease on it, the spine looks near MINT and it's fully readable (see pics) LABELS: They look MINT VINYL: It looks Excellent to near MINT, occasional hair lines and a few scuffs, plays dead flat on the turntable. AUDIO: Apart from some ticks at the very start on side 1 and side 2, the rest of the record plays beautifully with no skips, crackle, sticks or jumps, just very few ticks occasionally. An outstanding example of this fab album!
