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."

QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL

 Lovely vinyl, only some very light marks to the majority of her....When playing her all the way through, I noticed a wonderfully clear and rich audio reproduction...She plays through superbly well.
Visually, I can see a light scratch to side 2, extending for around 3 songs-I paid particular attention to this section when plaing her and found a very light revolutionary pop from Sun King through to Caryy That Weight, which was not particularly noticeable when the tracks get going, but is a very faint pop in the background on the lighter sections of the tracks. The biggest problem I found was a seperate scratch, which made my needle stick right at the end of that track and into The End....It is a shame as the rest of the audio remains wonderfully rich in output...Such a shame for such quality HEAVYWEIGHT slab of vinyl from the 60's!!
JUST HAD THE UTTER JOY OF LISTENING TO HER
FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN
Clear, rich & deep audio, with high peaks and low bass.
REALLY RICH A FULL AUDIO PLAYBACK

Labels:
EX-.

 There are many light spindle marks-evident ONLY when angling towards the light and looking for them!
No central hole wear to speak of.
  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 NOT HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.
Very displayable.
NO WRITING


Cover:
EX-.

The cover of this LP is ALSO SUPERB!
 The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is inline with the text. The spine is lovely and strong, WITHOUT any flaws.
 I noticed around 6 small crescents of spidering to the front laminate....As well as just a few tiny fingers eminating from the seams. When angled towards the light, there is some light ring wear evident to the laminate, but nothing terrible and hard to spot when looking straight at the cover-so great for framing.
NO WRITING
NO RIPS
Even the corners are lovely and strong!
WONDERFULLY CLEAN AND STRONG SPINE
Please see the detailed images for yourselves and click on them for even larger images and more detail.

EX+/NEAR MINT-!

 Original white die-cut sleeve.
With..
"IMPORTANT NOTICE COPYRIGHT EXISTS IN ALL RECORDS ISSUED BY EMI...." text
It also has the "MADE IN GREAT BRITIAN" text to the bottom, as well as the Patent No. 1125 555 too.
NO splits or writing.
Only very light creasing.
VERY EARLY AND VERY NICE TOO!


THIS IS A LOVELY COLLECTABLE PIECE IN REALLY COLLECTABLE CONDITION-OTHER THAN THE STICK(!)...WOULD BE A LOVELY PIECE FRAMED.
GRAB THIS BEAUTY FOR ITS LOOKS AND GREAT SOUND REPRODUCTION!
