Product Description Delivery & Returns Payment Information About Us

ARTIST:-THE BEATLES
TITLE:-ABBEY ROAD
CONDITION OF RECORD:-VG+
CONDITION OF SLEEVE:-VG
CATALOGUE NUMBER:-PCS 7086
LABEL-APPLE
YEAR OF RELEASE:-1969
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN:-UK/France
COMMENTS:-Interesting one this ~ it's a rare 1969 UK/French Apple label stereo 16-track vinyl LP with YEX 749-2/YEX 750-1 matrices and the sleeve  omitting 'Her Majesty' from the tracklisting but featuring it on the label, fully laminated picture sleeve. The label states 'Mfd in UK' and also 'Made In France' so it's anybody's guess where it originated from, the sleeve though is the standard laminated Garrod & Lofthouse issue with the aligned Apple logo. The sleeve is wholly intact with no tears, stains, splits or writing but some usual ringwear and a fair bit of laminate creasing to the rear opening edge. The vinyl itself plays well all the way through with just a little surface noise in the usual quieter passages.
TRACKLISTING:-AS ABOVE



Vinyl Gradings

All my items are graded according to the Record Collector’s grading system:

M (Mint): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and the extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EX (Excellent): The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VG (Very Good): The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

G (Good): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.

F (Fair): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
