Vinyl:
*150g-QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL*
G.
 Lovely vinyl, but she does carry some needle marks to her....When playing her all the way through, I noticed a wonderfull deep and rich audio for the majority of playback.
Here Comes The Sun has a bit of shilling and some pops, as does Come Together but they do play through on my Focus One deck-fitted with an SME IV arm and audio Technica stylus.
The worst section is the transition from Something, into Maxwells Silver Hammer where it shills, pops and skips from the end few bars of Something into the start of Maxwells Silver Hammer.
In some of quieter sections I did notice some other pops-Sun King was one track and Something had a brief mid-section where she had some revolutionary pops-but I just thought it reminded me I am listening to a slab of ORIGINAL vinyl from 1969 and not a CD!

Rich deep audio with high peaks and deep bass.But also skips and has some shilling-as described in some sections-the majority of the album is wonderfully rich and clear.....So would make a good filler for that fact and not forgetting she still has the ultra early 1/1 Mothers!

WOULD FRAME VERY WELL



Labels:
EX.
 Only very light spindle marks-evident only when angling towards the light. With a small amount of central hole wear to the side 1 label....Nothing bad at all-please see the detailed images for yourselves.
  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.


Cover:
VG(+).
The cover of this LP is lovely and clean.
 The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is inline with the text.
The spine is perfectly intact and legible.
 There are some small crescents of spidering to the front & back laminate....As well as a few small fingers eminating from the spine and a line of spidering of around 13cm to the top right corner.
NO WRITING.
NO RIPS.
Strong corners.
DEEP CLEAN AND CLEAR COLOURS...However, there is a small line of fading, more than likely due to the sun, to the spine and the front bottom left corner....Please see the detailed images for yourselves and click on them for even larger images and more detail.
SOLID.


Inner:
EX+!
 Original white die-cut sleeve.
Has the "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" text to the bottom too.
NO splits or writing.
Only light creasing.
SUPERB.


THIS IS A LOVELY COLLECTABLE PIECE WITH INCREDIBLY EARLY MOTHERS AND STAMPERS.
PLAYS THROUGH WITH SOME BACKGROUND NOISE, POS, SHILLING AND A SKIP BUT THIS IS ONE FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR AS IT IS ONE OF THE 1st PRESSED BACK IN 1969!
GRAB THIS BEAUTY FOR ITS SOLID PACKAGE.
THIS IS NOT FOR THE AUDIOPHILE (I think I've been clear enough...)
