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  that, as shown in the photos, the lower-right corners on the front and back sides of the jacket have very slight (only visible while looking up close) corner dings.  Also, as shown in the last photo, the shrink wrap is torn in an area along the top edge while looking at the back side of the jacket (but the jacket itself is fine).

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!!
