The Beatles - Revolver

After a long hiatus, I am pleased to offer for sale this fantastic collection of Italian Beatles releases. 

For sale in this listing is the penultimate studio LP to be released by The Beatles in Italy, Abbey Road. Released in September of 1969 the was perhaps the pinnacle of vinyl production in Italy; with a beautiful heavy weight vinyl and the sturdiest sleeve I have ever owned.
The album was originally released on the dark green Apple Records labels.

Album Details: 

Serial Number: PMCQ 31520
Matrix Number: 04243-A - 12-9-69 /  04243-B - 12-9-69 
The matrix numbers suggest that the record was produced using the first pressing plates sent to Italy. Consequently the audio reproduction is superb - take a listen below.
The labels are the first variant, as is the sleeve. 
The album is complete with the black die-cut inner sleeve.

Side 2: 


As can be heard in the audio clips, the audio is simply fantastic. There is no audible sign of play wear. The lead ins are quiet. It is quiet between songs. The bass is punchy and the vocals are clear. It's a great listen. 

Sleeve: Mint -
The sleeve looks shop-new. Both the front and rear are exceptionally clean. The laminate retains the original lustre. The cover art is vibrant, showing no sign of colour fade. All four corners are crisp and sharp. The pinched spine is without damage and the writing is fully legible. The top, bottom and opening edges are all without wear.

The original inner sleeve is in remarkable condition. Only minor creasing is visible. There are no tears, rips or writing.

Additional Details: 
Before the audio test and recording the vinyl was cleaned using a three step method using an Okki Nokki vacuum cleaner and an Audio Desk ultrasonic cleaner. 
After being cleaned, the record is housed inside a brand new mobile fidelity anti-static inner sleeve.
The record is packaged outside of the sleeve. Both the sleeve and the record are stored inside an archival quality polypropylene outer sleeve. 
The record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
