Released Year: 1969
Media Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)
Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

Comments:
Borderline NM! Runout confirmed first UK pressing. Includes black original inner sleeve (some came with black, plain die cut inner). EX media, no marks, scuffs or light scratches. Fantastic copy! very light shelf wear, some very faint staining in some places. Ask for pics, record has been ultrasonically cleaned and resleeved in a rice paper inner. Ships with care in a whiplash mailer from a brick and mortar record store.

Notes:

This version is the "first label, revised cover" version:
Dark green labels with a whole apple on the A-side and a half, sliced-open apple on B-side. The labels have the ("An E.M.I. Recording") text on two lines and small "33 1/3" text moved to the left side. Publishing year printed with a small ℗ symbol. The B-side label does not have "Her Majesty" credits. The labels are quite dark, although the actual shade of green varies between copies.
Comes in a fully laminated cover without flaps on the back side. The front cover has the drain showing, the rear cover has the Apple logo aligned with the text.

Another distinguish trait of this pressing is the alternate indenting style on the last two lines of Side B ("Northern Songs. NCB" is by itself on the last line).

℗ 1969
Mfd. in U.K.

Some copies were packaged with a die-cut black inner sleeve.

"Thanks to George Martin, Geoff Emerick and Phillip McDonald"
