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 final studio LP to be released by The Beatles, Let it Be. Released in March of 1970 the album was originally available as a box-set which included the 'Get Back' studio diary book. The LP was released on its own at the same time and was more popular due to it being much cheaper to purchase.
The album was originally released on the dark green Apple Records labels.

Album Details: 

Serial Number: 3C 062-4433 Y
Matrix Number: 04433-A - 29-4-70 / 04433-B - 29-4-70
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 - identifiable by the red apple logo to the rear. 
The album is complete with the original black die-cut inner sleeve.

Condition Report: 

The condition report provided below is given as a guide only. I have included high-quality, comprehensive photographs in addition to a complete audio recording to enable you to make an informed decision on the condition of this record yourself. 

Vinyl: EXCELLENT
Labels: Mint -
The labels are clean, bright and without any writing. Both sides are without spindle wear. 
Visual: Excellent - 
The vinyl retains beautiful deep gloss playing surfaces. In bright daylight several light marks can be seen on the surface on the record. Two are feelable: one short mark on 'Two of Us' and another even smaller on 'Dig a Pony'. Under the glare of a halogen desk lamp only a handful of wispy hairlines can be seen alongside an iridescent rainbow shine. 
Audio: Very Good +
Please note, the eBay app does not facilitate play back. Please use the internet site to enjoy the audio clips. 
Side 1:

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. Other than several clicks during the tracks mentioned above there is little to note. It's a great listen. 

Sleeve: Excellent
The sleeve looks shop-new. Both the front and rear are exceptionally clean. The laminate retains the original lustre showing only minor scuffing. 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. 
Inner Sleeve: Excellent
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 of 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.
