"Abbey Road" was The Beatles eleventh studio album when it was released on the Apple Records label in 1969. It sold more than 4 million copies in its first two months of release and topped the charts for a total of 11 weeks. It's cover image is probably the most instantly recognizable picture in the history of the record business. Although they were nearing their end as a band, the album is widely considered some of their best work.
This copy (SO-383) is in exceptional condition and is from the first pressing but was packaged after the embarrassing omission of the 23 second long "Her Majesty" at the end of side 2 was corrected. The disc plays very cleanly and I rate both it and the album cover as VG+ which is as high as I go on vintage vinyl. Please see the pictures.
In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Sleeve to hold the vinyl disc and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve.
Free shipping is included in the special corrugated album mailer seen in the last picture.
This vintage 12" vinyl album has been sitting upright on a shelf in climate controlled storage for the past 51 years. It has not been played in decades other than a quick test spin for this sale which found no skips or obvious flaws. Like all used records it should be cleaned and wiped with an anti-static brush to minimize the occasional pops that are part of playing vinyl albums. Buyers should note that this is a well-cared for but used record and it will have some minor imperfections.
