Well, an interesting variation on an Abbey Road first pressing, showing many features of the first pressing, but some of the later corrections, and a mysterious addition to the matrix numbers that I couldn’t find listed or mentioned in any other descriptions.
One for the dedicated Beatles collector who enjoys a mystery, and actually a really good depth of sound under the moderate crackle. I wish I had this particular version in mint condition- a better sound than my modern 180 gram reissue.
Why Buy A Record From Me?As a fellow music fan and record collector, I want to make sure you know exactly what you are getting when you buy a record from me.Each record is cleaned in a cleaning machine with a professional cleaning solution, then played to evaluate the condition and correct grading, then placed in a new, quality anti-static inner sleeve.Record covers are also carefully cleaned, any loose seams (if any) are re-glued.I give an accurate grading of the record and cover, so when you get it, there are no surprises.
GradingRecords are graded on a scale from Poor to Mint, generally following The Goldmine system of record grading. I would seldom list anything below VG unless it is particularly rare.M NM+ NM VG+ VG G+ G PCovers are given a rating out of 10 - with 10 being Mint.Some people only give a visual grading, so you can’t actually tell how the vinyl plays.
PostageSingles are sent in rigid heavyweight cardboard at registered letter rate within Oz. Overseas regular parcel rates with tracking apply.LPs are sent in professional quality cardboard record mailers, usually new, sometimes recycled. Any particularly rare or valuable record will be carefully packed and sent in a box.That way you know, when you buy a record from me, you get exactly what you were expecting.
