Hi and welcome to my Buy It Now listing for an excellent vinyl 1st Pressing Stereo copy of The Beatles album "Abbey Road" (PMC 7088).

Condition:


Album Cover: Overall Good to Very Good. Spine in very good condition. Slight corner wear. Slight delamination top center. Crease on front nr J.Lennon. Crease on rear top center.

Inner Sleeve: Very Good. Slight creasing to corners on one edge. Record kept in seperate plastic sleeve.

Label: Very Good. Some spindel marks to both centers (only viewable under light at certain angles). Side 1 center cut out not circular (photograph 11 shows this).


Vinyl: Graded as Very Good. The vinyl is clean. There are a number of light surface marks evident when viewed under light at an angle (photograph 9 tries to show this). However these do not affect listening. When played it is flat and I have not heard any pops, clicks or distortions.

 

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. Please see my other Beatles records.

Thank You.
