FOR PERSONAL REASONS, I AM LOWERING THE PRICES ON ALL MY VINYL AND AUCTIONS - MAKES FOR SOME VERY RARE ITEMS IN GREAT CONDITION AT FAR BELOW COMPETITIVE PRICES. THIS IS AN ULTRA-CLEAN COPY (BOTH ALBUM COVER & VINYL) OF THE BEATLES ON THEIR COLOSSAL "ABBY ROAD" VINYL ALBUM ON THE APPLE LABEL- APPLE SO-383. THE PHOTOS SHOW THE GREAT CONDITION AND THE LEGENDARY SONG TRACK. WHAT ALBUM PERSONIFIES THE BEATLES MORE THAN "ABBEY ROAD?" THE ALBUM HAS NO MAJOR SIGNS OF AGE WEAR - NO SEAM RIPS, NO WRITING, NO SMUDGING, ETC. EXTREMELY-WELL PRESERVED!!!! - SEE PHOTOS THE VINYL IS EXCELLENT TO NEAR MINT. THE FEW MINOR SCUFFS THAT CAN BARELY BE DETECTED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT ARE MINOR AND CERTAINLY DO NOT EFFECT PLAY AT ALL. TO BE PARANOIDLY CRITICAL, THERE IS ONE WHITE PINHOLE (LITERALLY) DOT NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE SONG, "SOMETHING" THAT LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD EASILY CLEAN OFF. IT DIDN'T MOVE WHEN I CLEANED IT WITH A SPECIAL CLOTHE, AND I DON'T WANT TO USE ANY OTHER METHOD TO CLEAN IT. THE RECORD MADE ONE "POP" WHEN IT HIT THAT PINHOLE SIZE WHITE DOT. THE NEW OWNER COULD MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO CLEAN OFF THAT PINHOLE DOT OR JUST IGNORE IT SINCE IT DOES NOT EFFECT THE MUSIC. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE WHOLE VINYL PACKAGE. BEING ON THE ORIGINAL APPLE LABEL DOESN'T HURT THE COLLECTIBLE QUALITIES OF THE VINYL ALBUM. I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW JUST HOW NICE THE CONDITION IS OF ALL MY RECORD ALBUMS. AS SUCH, I HAVE POSTED AS MANY PHOTOS AS I COULD THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF THE COVER, THE LABELS, THE VINYL, ETC. YOU CAN SEE THE EXACT CONDITION OF THE ENTIRE "UNIQUE" PACKAGE AS DESCRIBED. - SEE PHOTOS. OH, IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE A FEW LIGHT MARKS ON THE SHINY VINYL, IT IS ONLY THE REFLECTIONS OF A CHANDELIER I HAVE HANGING OVER THE TABLE WHERE I TAKE THE PHOTOS. OF COURSE, THOSE LITTLE SPARKLING "REFLECTIONS" ARE NOT ON THE VINYL. I AM PRICING THIS EXCELLENT RECORD COLLECTOR'S GEM ON THE APPLE LABEL VERY COMPETITIVELY, ESPECIALLY FOR BEING IN SUCH EXCELLENTLY PRESERVED CONDITION. WILL CAREFULLY BE SHIPPED IN A BOX ESPECIALLY DESIGNED TO TRANSPORT THESE RARE AND UNUSUAL (VINTAGE) VINYL LP RECORDS.
