This version is the "first label, revised cover" version:
Dark green labels with a whole apple on the A-side label and a half, sliced-open apple on B-side. The labels have the "(An E.M.I. Recording)" text on two lines and small "33 1/3" text moved to the left side. Publishing year printed with a small ℗ symbol. The B-side label does not have "Her Majesty" credits. The labels are quite dark, although the actual shade of green varies between copies.
Comes in a full laminated cover without flaps on the back side. The front cover has the drain showing, the rear cover has the Apple logo aligned with the text, and 'Her Majesty' is not listed.
Another distinguish trait of this pressing is the alternate indenting style on the last two lines of Side B ("Northern Songs. NCB" is by itself on the last line)
℗ 1969.
"An E.M.I. Recording"
Mfd. in U.K.
The cover has a small hole in the spine. The record plays great, with no skips, jumps or clicks. There is slight noise at the beginning of each side and in pauses, but this does not interfere with audibility at all. Great dynamics. The sound is fantastic. This is a rare version of the original 1969 UK pressing. Never been in a smoky room. A great gift for fans of the great Beatles and collectors.
