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 VINYL

JUST HAD THE UTTER JOY OF LISTENING TO HER.

 Lovely vinyl, only some light marks to her....When playing her all the way through, I noticed a wonderfully clear and rich audio reproduction, with just some occasional light background noise...She plays through superbly well.
Visually, I can see a few light scuff marks to each side-but when playing her through they barely registered at all...I think it is due to it being such a quality HEAVYWEIGHT slab of vinyl from the 60's!!
All I noticed were three light and soft revolutionary pops at the very end of Octopus's Garden..nothing at all to affect my enjoyment of the playback.
I have recorded a clip of the transition from The End and into Her Majesty, just to show how quiet she was inbetween tracks and the quality of audio output.
NO JUMPS OR SKIPS THROUGHOUT

Clear, rich & deep audio, with high peaks and low bass.
 RICH A FULL AUDIO PLAYBACK


Labels:
EX.

 There are only light spindle marks-evident ONLY when angling towards the light and looking for them!
Some light central hole wear to side 1-as can be seen in 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.
The last song credit DOES NOT HAVE "Her Majesty" on the Side 2 label.
Very displayable.


Cover:
EX-.

The cover of this LP is in GREAT CONDITION.
 The alignment of the Apple Logo on the back is inline with the text. The spine is lovely and strong and legible.
 I noticed just a handful of small crescents of spidering to the front laminate....As well as just a few tiny fingers eminating from the seams and some light ring wear evident when angled towards the light.
It really is incredibly glossy and ready for framing!
NO SPLITS
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.
