This auction is for a rare, coloured vinyl pressing of the Beatle's double LP '1967-1970', more commonly known as the Blue Album. The album was originally released in 1973 on black vinyl, then reissued in 1978 on coloured vinyl.

This set has something interesting. Disc 1 is a very bright, rich shade of blue whilst disc 2 has a noticeable darker shade of blue to it. It hasn't really shown in the photos below, but if you compare them side by side the second disc is definitely a darker blue!.

The cover features the rare sticker and the set, overall, is in a really nice condition!

Would look great in any Beatles collection!
...

The Cover : EX-



The cover is looking really nice and with just a little, light wear and tear. The front cover! has clean laminate with just a little dirt buildup and light disc impression. There are a few little knocks along the bottom part of the sleeve and along the bottom, with a bit of knocking down the bottom right corner. The sticker is tight to the cover and has not peeled or torn, but does have a little wear and rubbing on it. Top and bottom seams are both holding tightly with no tearing or splits. The spine has a couple of little laminate creases running through it but is holding tightly with no splitting or tears, and is fully legible. The back cover is predominantly clean but with a little dirt buildup in places. There's some light disc impression and a couple of knocks, but nothing serious. Inner gatefold is clean and white with a little knocking and creases along the top, but this is pretty minimal. Overal, nice sleeve!
.

  Inner Sleeve 1 : VG+
Inner Sleeve 2 : VG

Inner sleeve one is looking nice with just a light disc impression and a touch of wear at the opening. The bottom and just started to split in the middle and there's a small split in one of the sides in the middle that appears to be just over 1" or so long.

Inner sleeve two has a little more creasing in the corners than the other inner sleeve. One side has the beginnings of a split in the middle and the bottom, again, has a small patch of wear in the middle.

Both inner sleeves are holding up okay with just light, general wear and tear as highlighted above.
.

  Disc 1 : NM- / Disc 1 : EX+/NM-
Both discs look near immaculate with just one or two very light, faint little scuffs that I can just about see under my desk lamp. I can see a little more of this light scuffing on the second disc so I've brought the grade down slightly for that.   Terms and Conditions + Shipping Information
