The Beatles
Abbey Road
!NEAR MINT HTM CUT!
(Professionally cleaned with Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record Cleaner)

ORIGINALLY released in 1969 this is a fantastic UK Beatles 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."
THIS RECORD FOR SALE:

Catalogue number: Apple PCS 7088

Matrix Number Side 1: 749-4
Matrix Number Side 2: 750-3

Mothers/Stampers:
2/TG
2/RT

With 'HTM' etched into the side 2 groove...Showing this as the very respectable Harry T Moss cutting-Widely seen as the superior cut for audio reproduction.


Vinyl:
NEAR MINT!
After giving her just a very gentle, professional vacuum clean, I have just finished listening to her-all the way through-and found a SUPERBLY clear audio performance with no background noise to speak of!
 She provides wonderfully clear audio....I even noticed a prominant Cicada at the start of Sun King, which I had never noticed before...even after 17 years of selling Beatles vinyl!
CERTAINLY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS.




Labels:
NEAR MINT!
All I can see are around 5 light spindle marks to the side 1 label-when angled towards the light and looking for them!
WOULD FRAME INCREDIBLY WELL
NO "Sold in the UK..." text and the outer text begins: "Apple Records all rights.." "Mfd. in U.K." text. The labels are nice and vibrant.
It has the slightly lighter version of this Apple label.
The last song credit DOES HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.
Also has the 33 1/3 in the centre of the left text block.


PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED AND FEEL FREE TO READ MY FEEDBACK FOR HAPPY CUSTOMERS AND TRUE GRADINGS



Cover:
EX+.
The cover of this LP remains vibrant, it is the early front and back laminated cover. This lamination just has 2 small lines of spidering to her, as well as just a couple of tiny fingers of spidering emanting from the seems...Please see the detailed images.
IT REALLY IS IN SUPERB CONDITION.
The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is inline with the text.
The corners remain strong and sharp with only minimal rubbing-nothing at all to worry about.
NO WRITING/RIPS OR TEARS
NO BARCODE
AGAIN: WOULD FRAME INCRERDIBLY WELL


Inner:
NMINT!
 Original EMI white die-cut sleeve with no windows.
It has the correct period “Important Notice”  box to the front as well as “Made In Great Britain”
NO splits or tears or even writing...just some very slight foxing through age (don’t we all?! ;)


All in all this is a FANTASTIC sounding HTM pressing of a classic album.
COMPLETE WITH THE CORRECT INNER.
PROVIDING A RICH AUDIO FROM BACK IN THE DAY.
MAGICAL!
