TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
The Apple labels have ‘Sold in the UK subject to’ text & are without ‘An EMI Recording’ credit. The matrix numbers indicate that this copy was among the first pressed:

Side 1: XEX 709-1
Side 2: XEX 710-1
Side 3: XEX 711-1
Side 4: XEX 712-1

The jet black inners are die-cut on one side & aside from one split to the top half seam, are unsplit at the seams with a couple of small tears and creases to the opening & die-cut. The lyric poster shows moderate general wear. The photo inserts, so often found with staples or poster putty on the back, also remain unused.

The main selling point here is the LOW NUMBERED gatefold sleeve. We know each unit of the record came with its own serial number stamped on the cover. The first numbered copy of the LP was rumoured to be John Lennon’s who, according to Paul McCartney, shouted the loudest for it when the band decided to have the copies numbered! At number 5226, this is an investment piece, as any copy below 10,000 will only accrue value over time. The cover grades as Very Good+. The spine shows a few areas of light discolouration/yellowing – mainly to the edges with all the text legible and the panels remain nice & clean with all print clearly legible. A medium dink to the bottom corner prevents an Excellent grading.

Both vinyl discs have been professionally cleaned & grade VG overall. There are some visible hairlines, paper scuffs in places with some spindle marks by the centre hole. A recommended blue chip item.
