BEATLES ABBEY ROAD 1st UK PRESS ORIGINAL BLACK APPLE INNER SLEEVE

Description: All my items have a full money-back guarantee - if it's not as described you can return it for a full refund.**************************************************************** This is an original pressing bought in the UK at, or around, the time of first release. It is not a modern reissue. Description Disc: The vinyl has retained its original sheen with a few small or light marks visible in normal light and some additional ultra-fine hairlines and sleeve-removal lines when viewed under bright, direct light, but there is nothing bad anywhere. The main visible marks are a scuff near the beginning of side two and a very small, short feelable mark near the end of 'You Never Give Me Your Money', but these have minimal audible impact (just a handful of very, very soft clicks in the quiet intro to 'Because'), and based on the parts I played I would grade it around Excellent (Ex) Sleeve: The sleeve has no seam splits, writing, stickers etc, just some normal signs of age or wear, including signs of use at the opening, light wear to the edges and corners and some minor creases, mainly near the opening. There is a small surface graze/scuff which has been touched in (I've shown this in the final photo), but overall this is a very decent example. Inner sleeve: Original black Apple inner sleeve has no seam splits or significant issues. Detracting features not covered above: None. All photographs are of the actual item for sale. Please ask any questions before you bid or buy. Where gradings are given these are based on the UK Record Collector grading system (see below) and are visual gradings only, unless the listing specifically states that it is a play-grading. I use the UK RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM. This grading system differs from some other grading systems, in particular the Goldmine grading system. Please make sure that you are familiar with the UK record collector grading system before you bid. Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc. Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler. Plus (+) or Minus (-) are added where items fall between gradings. I only ever use one plus or minus.
