THE BEATLES
ABBEY ROAD
1969 1ST STEREO
CAT. NO. PMC 7088
-2/ -1 MATRICES
A very early 1st issue with all the known errors; the misaligned Apple logo on the rear of the sleeve, the omission of the title track ‘Her Majesty’ on the label and track listing on sleeve. Also the front cover shows the edge of a pot-hole on the zebra crossing.

Sleeve: Excellent-Minus condition. Very clean, and his retained its original glossy finish, and bright contrast. Square corners and straight unblemished edges and spine. Structurally sound with no tears, rips, repairs etc or abrasions. There are several thumbnail type creases near opening side and a kink in the laminate in the top left corner on the front. There is a slight ripple to opening side but still lies flat. There are no marks or imprints.
The Vinyl: In a strong Excellent condition. The vinyl has retained a jet-black glossy pressing sheen all over both surfaces. Under halogen light with the disc held at various angles it is immediately obvious that the record has received only several plays. There are no warps, no scuffs, no needle drops, groove wear, no scratches, and no hairlines which stand-out. There are a few small feint wispy lines on either side here and there but have to inspect closely to see. The surfaces are clean and have retained their original lustre and project a strong mirror-like shine.
Mothers & Stampers: 7 MMO / 7 ART
Inner Sleeve: Original Patents Pending inner sleeve in Excellent Condition with no splits or discolouration.

The Labels: Excellent condition. No play-wear to the spindle perimeter and only localised very feint spindle line traces.
The Audio: There are no detractions over the audio, no discernible deviation from the original audio quality. It is as good as likely to be possible, very clear and lucid with only a one or two static type tics which are only audible in a few of the linking grooves between tracks. Original warm, clear and lucid sound projection with perfect stereo channelling. No jumps, no pops, no clicks, no skips, no background noise, no sticks etc. Excellent Plus.
