This is a 2014 GERMAN pressing of 1967-1970 by The Beatles, better known as The Blue Album.

Now that the 'Red' and 'Blue' albums have been reissued (late 2023) with remixed tracks and additional tracks, the scuttlebutt is that the original albums (like the ones I'm selling) will no longer be pressed.  Here's your chance to get an original all-analogue copy before they're out of print.

The German pressings were made by the very highly-regarded Optimal Media record pressing plant in Germany as opposed to a subsequent pressing that was done in 2018 by a company in Canada.  The consensus is that the German pressings are noticeably better than the Canadian ones.  I've read numerous comments online stating that while the German pressings are all-analog, the Canadian pressings are NOT all-analog.

PLEASE NOTE, for those of you who want a "perfect" album jacket with absolutely no issues, the copies I'm selling arrived to me with very slight (very minimal) corner dings -- at most, one corner on each (front and back) side.  The last photo shows an example.  Again, these dings are very minimal.

I have a smoke-free, pet-free home and will ship the album inside a Bags Unlimited Mighty Music Mailer, one of the best (if not THE best) record album mailers available.  They do a fantastic job of protecting record albums!!
