Notes
This release has a misaligned Apple Records logo on the back and does not list "Her Majesty" on either cover or B side label. The front cover photo is more tightly cropped than on other releases, showing less sky (noticeable over the roof tops right) and less of the drainage grating bottom right. The fully laminated sleeve has arrow spines.
Small Ⓟ on labels.
B5 appears as "Mean Mr Mustard" on cover, but as "Mean Mr. Mustard" on label.

Reviews
-
Without the benefit of referencing the other gazillion pressings out there, I must say I cannot find any fault with this pressing - nice and balanced. -
i found a sealed copy SO-383 with her majesty listed on the back and the front is uncropped (small amount of the manhole cover is visible) any idea what year this is from? the cover is thinner white stock not a paste over
-
Absolute stunning 1st press. Clear sound, big soundstage. It's hard to find in decent condition nowheredays at a reasonable price, which is no wonder, since no one wants to sell this record, if they do, they charge an insanely high price for it. This is the real abbey road sound from 1969. I dont need any remaster. -
In my opinion The Beatles best album is Abbey Road. Also, in my opinion, I feel Sargent Peppers Lonely hearts Club Band is over produced and a bit overrated.
But, I purchased Abbey Road on Vinyl and this 2019 reproduction by Apple Corps Limited sounds great but doesn’t offer much info other than produced by George Martin— in what year!? All I can surmise Abbey Road was released before 1970 (when Beatles broke up).
I think It is safe to say it is next to impossible to find an original Abbey Road Beatles album these days, especially one that cost only 14$.
So, this is a great purchase of a great album with every song seemingly familiar to me. I’m pretty sure I have heard EVERY single song from Abbey Road, at one time or another, on the radio.
This is the first time (believe it or not) I have owned a Beatles album of any kind. -
Edited one year agoCan't seem to find my version. (not referencing the misprint shown above, that's weird)
Stereo
Labels:
- Her Majesty not listed anywhere
- Looks like this version, but etchings don't match: https://discogs.cinepelis.org/release/3972811-The-Beatles-Abbey-Road
Side 1 runout etching: SO-1-383-B19 #4 O
Side 2 runout etching: SW2 383 B19 #1 O -
good sound but not the best, i have a press 1969 (the best i heard) a japan press 1976 (wow press) and i've listened to a holland press. this press is ok but not at the level of the others i have listed -
-
An incredibly good album. This pressing makes it even better. It is the best version I have from this album. Simply perfect. -
Edited 2 years ago-2 / -1 ORP 5 / ALG 6 appear missing from the misaligned release above. Side 2 tracklist on the sleeve was in a lighter font on the first run. (Meanwhile the leading issue on Oh ! Darling was not fixed until the 1980's CDs!) -
Iconic album and absolutely killer pressing. UK first -2 / -1 all the way baby!
Side A is just mindblowing music and songwriting, every time I play it, so fresh, so dynamic, so magical.
Essential record for every vinyl collector.
If you are hardcore Beatles fan, try to locate the lowest possible stampers and misaligned sleeve.
My ADT1 / GPM2 copy sound a bit better than GMT5 / RGD5
