This is a lovely UK later-in-1969 pressing of ‘Abbey Road’; see the label/sleeve specifics below:
The sleeve has an aligned apple and the ‘standard size’ cover photo with the drain visible, and a label with the 33 1/3 to the left under a 2-line-spaced (“An E.M.I Recording”); no “Her Majesty” credit.
749-2/750-1 matrices, RA/3 and MP/5 Mother/Stampers.
The sleeve is VG+ with minor corner knocks, very slight rippling under the rear laminate and a small smudge on the B-side label.
The disc is a classic VG+ with lots of hairlines and 2 (visible in pictures) marks that can be very lightly felt but played through immaculately when tested. For a visibly marked disc it played through really cleanly without background noise etc.

GRADING SYSTEM:
1. NM: Record/sleeve will be near-perfect or have maybe very minor scuff/s from being handled a few times or from the inner sleeve (potentially played once or twice).
2. EX: Record will have some minor scuffs and possible more noticeable marks preventing a NM grading; a record that was played very little and has been taken care of.
3. VG Plus: Record will have noticeable scuffs and light scratches from being handled and played, but nothing too deep as to affect playback. May have light background noise in quieter areas but still no major issues; a record that has been played and enjoyed but not abused.
4. VG: Record will have scuffs and scratches from being handled and played, causing noticeable background noise and some disturbances/pops but still enjoyable overall; still a good quality record that can be enjoyed with life left.
5. GOOD / FAIR / POOR: Record will have scuffs and major scratches. Can still be played but will have background noise and most likely major distractions such as sustained pops or skips. Records with this grade are used for rare albums or ones that would be best used only for display.
