The Beatles legendary 1969 album Abbey Road... on gorgeous heavy vinyl. This is the original UK first pressing (with no reference to the 'secret' track 'Her Majesty' on the cover or LP ... and the rare misaligned apple on the back cover (which was quickly corrected). THE COVER is in good overall condition, although there are thin, faint, pen lines to the top right front (about 3/4 inches) and running down, almost fully, top to bottom right front (John's side). They're not too intrusive, but can be seen (pictured). THE RECORD looks lovely, nice and shiny, with very few marks. It plays fine, except for a jump on I Want You (She's So Heavy). However, my machine is a bit lightweight, so a better quality might might make a difference to that (I am selling some of my Beatles collection to buy a better one!). THE INNER SLEEVE is in excellent condition, black, but is not original. In all, a chance to get a true first pressing of a classic album, good - but with a few minor flaws. **Please note the postage quote is for UK bidders only.
