PCS 7088, early issue UK 1969 mis press ‘dark green’, Apple record label.

An early UK 1969 album in original condition, featuring:

1. a 'mis pressed' record label on side one, as there is a vertical line that runs across the record label as a result of an error in the printing process at the EMI factory. This printing error should have been spotted by EMIs 'quality control department', but it was missed and the record made it out into the shops,

2. more unusual record labels as each of the record labels features larger '33 1/3' text and this text has been printed 'off set' from the left margin,
