Vinyl:  NM-  Play Graded.  Plays Like New!  Super High Gloss Vinyl.  Superb Fidelity!  Original Apple labels are clean, bright and MINTY!  This is the audiophile acclaimed, Original 1969 Apple 1st Pressing!  Apple 1809, recorded June 1, 1969 in room 1742 of the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and Released July 7, 1969.  Pressed at Capitol's Scranton, PA Pressing Plant.  John Lennon & Yoko Ono's band, Plastic Ono Band, was Lennon's "exeunt" band from The Beatles. This was Lennon's insignia premature for peace, and is one of his most remembered songs, particularly amongst his Solo stuff.  He wasn't quite ready to eliminate the "Lennon-McCartney" writing credentials yet, but this is the very last of the partnership to bear both John & Paul's names together.  The scene is unparalleled in R&R history:  along for the ride are the Montreal chapter of the Hare Krishnas, Tommy Smothers, Derek Taylor, Timothy and Rosemary Leary and others...

Why buy a first or early pressing and not a re-issue or a ‘re-mastered’ vinyl album? 
First and early pressings are pressed from the first generation lacquers and stampers. They usually sound vastly superior to later issues/re-issues (which, in recent times, are often pressed from whatever 'best' tapes or digital sources are currently available) - many so-called 'audiophile' new 180g pressings are cut from hi-res digital sources…essentially an expensive CD pressed on vinyl.  Why  experience the worse elements of both formats?  These are just High Maintenance CDs, with mid-ranges so cloaked with a veil as to sound smeared.  They are nearly always compressed with murky transients and a general lifelessness in the overall sound.  There are exceptions where re-masters/re-presses outshine the original issues, but they are exceptions and not the norm. 

First or early pressings nearly always have more immediacy, presence and dynamics. The sound staging is wider.  Subtle instrument nuances are better placed with more spacious textures. Balances are firmer in the bottom end with a far-tighter bass. Upper-mid ranges shine without harshness, and the overall depth is more immersive.  Inner details are  clearer.  

On first and early pressings, the music tends to sound more ‘alive’ and vibrant.  The physics of sound energy is hard to clarify and write about from a listening perspective, but the best we can describe it is to say that you can 'hear' what the mixing and mastering engineers wanted you to hear when they first recorded the music.
