The Beatles
Abbey Road
Without 'Her Majesty'
**LOVELY EARLY 1st pressing**
(With misaligned Apple plus original PATENTS PENDING inner too)
141g
*Professionally Cleaned*

Fantastic 1969 Beatles UK LP. This was the Beatles' 12th LP, released on the 26th September. It was also the last official Beatles release that was recorded by them. Staying at number one for almost 18 consecutive weeks, it was only knocked off by The Rolling Stones' "Let It Bleed."

Vinyl:
QUALITY 141g VINYL
VG(+)
 Lovely FLAT & SHINY vinyl. She only carries a few very light and superficial wispy marks-providing some light and only occasional background noise...
To side 1 there are two slight patches to the vinyl which create a light, revolutionary 'Shhh ' noise as the needle passes through them-mainly noticeable on track 3, but nothing terrible.
After I cleaned her on my Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record cleaner I had the utter joy of listening to her-all the way through..
CERTAINLY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS ON MY FOCUS ONE DECK WITH SMK ARM AND AUDIO TECHNICA STYLUS FITTED.


Labels:
EX.
 There are only a handful of very light spindle marks, seen when angled towards the light...With minimal hole wear.
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED
  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.
Has the '33 1/3' to the extreme left.
The last song credit DOES NOT HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.
NO WRITING.
WOULD FRAME WELL.


Cover:
VG-.
The cover of this LP is the rarer cover; with the alignment of the Apple Logo on the back NOT being inline with the text.
The spine remains lovely and strong.
There are many crescents of spidering near the opening, as well as creasing around the edge of where the record has been housed for the last 50 years. There are a lot fewer crescents of spidering to the back, so this baby would look great framed-showing the mis-aligned Apple...
The corners have some rubbing and knocking, but nothing terrible.
SOLID EXAMPLE
NO SPLITS
 The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is OUT OF LINE with the text.
*FRAME THIS BEAUTY*


Inner:
VG+.
 ORIGINAL "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" inner...These were only issued with the very 1st pressings.
This one is in lovely condition.
There is some discolouration to the paper and she carries some small wrinkles of creasing.
NO SPLITS.
NO WRITING.
Certainly done her job in keeping this very early slab of vinyl in tip-top condition!


THIS IS A SOLID,  COMPLETE & COLLECTABLE PIECE WITH THE RARER COVER, VERY 1ST PRESSING VINYL AND ORIGINAL 'PATENTS APPLIED FOR' INNER.

*A COMPLETE PACKAGE FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR*
