This is an excellent (EX/VG++) copy of "Abbey Road" by The Beatles (1969) (PCS 7088).  This is the first UK edition where "Her Majesty" is missing from the song list on the back of the jacket and the disc label. 

I obtained this from the original owner who bought it new while stationed in the UK in the late 1960's and early 1970's.  The jacket is EX with extremely minimal wear (see photos). The original price tag is still affixed to the cover.  There is a small bit of wear on two corners (see last photo) nothing atypical for  a record that is 48 years old. 

The disc is VG++ and would be EX if not for a couple surface marks on the a-side that do not affect play.  Overall, it is still glossy and looks virtually new.  Hard to find one as nice as this! 

This item matches the first variation of the first pressing described here:  http://thebeatles-collection.com/wordpress/2011/10/05/abbey-road-pcs-7088/
