Matrix Number Side 2: 750-1


Mothers/Stampers Side 1: PAD @ 3 O'clock 4 @ 9 O'clock
Mothers/Stampers Side 2: PRG @ 2 O'clock   5 @ 9 O'clock


Vinyl:
VERY HEAVY 147g
VG-. Lovely vinyl, only light marks to her. With some dust in the grooves. Only a very light and occasional background noise evident..
I found there to be a couple of tiny skips to track 1, side 2...I am sure a good clean and a slightly heavier stylus than mine will play through without a problem.
JUST HAD THE UTTER JOY OF LISTENING TO HER
FLAT as the day she was born.


Labels: EX. There are only very light spindle marks,  these are  seen only when angled towards the light...Barely any hole wear at all.
  NO "Sold in the UK..." text.
Outer text begins: "Apple Records all rights.."
"Mfd. in U.K." text. The labels are nice and vibrant.
This is the 1st pressing DARKER version of this Apple label.
The last song credit DOES HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.


Cover: VG.The cover of this LP is solid. The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is inline with the text. However, there is a bend to the top left corner-creating a line of spidering to the laminate...Please see the detailed images provided.
NO WRITING
NO SPLITS OR TEARS


Inner: It is a plain white two-sided windowed replacement inner with some staining and age...BUT has done her job in looking after this record over all of these years.

THIS IS A WONDERFULLY SOUND SLAB OF VINYL-EVEN WITH THECOUPLE OF TINY SKIPS-SOLID THROUGHOUT AND FAR FROM TRASHED WOULD AT LEAST MAKE A VERY NICE FILLER.
