The Beatles
Abbey Road
SUPER AUDIO

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 HEAVYWEIGHT 142g
VG-.
 Lovely vinyl, I can only see light marks to her.
I have just given here a gentle professional vaccum clean and then had the utter pleasure of listening to her-all the way through.
There was a clean and clear, deep, rich stereo sound reproduction with just the very occasional tiny bit of light and insignificant background noise...I noticed a light revolutionary pop on Maxwells Siler Hammer-but as it was in-beat it didn't make much difference at all and then faded away.
The main point of note is a scratch on Octopusses Garden which made my light needle skip and stick toward the last 3/4 of the track..This mark ONLY affects this track and no others...This is why I have given the album a VG- grading rather than a VG+ due to the rest of the great audio.
I even noticed a new harmony towards the end of Oh! Darling...Magical to discover something new from an album I have listened too hundreds of times :) :)
**Really was a joy to listen too**
FLAT


Labels:  
VG+/EX-.
 There are only light spindle marks. These are only seen when angled towards the light...With barely any hole wear at all.
NOW WRITING
  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+.
This FULLY LAMINATED cover of this LP has been well looked after.
The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is inline with the text. The spine is lovely and strong. Just some lines of spidering near the opening and a few small fingers emanating from the seems....NOTHING at all to worry about.
NO WRITING
NO RIPS
Lightly rubbed/knocked corners.
VERY CLEAN AND STRONG SPINE
The top seem has some rubbing which has managed to go through for just about 1cm.
Please see the detailed images for yourselves and click on them for even larger images and more detail.
Also why not read my feedback for fair gradings and happy customers.
WOULD FRAME VERY WELL
