PAUL McCARTNEY "McCARTNEY" APPLE PCS 7102
RELEASED APRIL 1970
STAMPERS 2 RR 1 GH MATRICES -3U -4U
THIS FIRST PRESSING COMES WITH A FACTORY APPLE INNER SLEEVE USED IN 1970
ALSO COMES IN A TYPE 2 SLEEVE WHICH INCLUDES "APPLE RECORDS" TEXT ON THE REAR TYPE 1 HAS EMI TEXT
FULLY LAMINATED RECORD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CLEAN GLOSSY CONDITION WITH AN UNCRUSHED SPINE AND CLEAN OPENING EDGES WITH JUST ODD LIGHT CREASES DOWN THE SPINE EDGE AND ONE SLIGHTLY MORE DEFINED SMALL CREASE ON THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE ON THE OPENING EDGE
THE SLEEVE CRACKLES WHEN OPENED AS IT SEEMS TO HAVE NEVER BEEN OPENED FULLY AND THE LAMINATE HAS NOT BEEN STRETCHED FLAT
APPLE INNER IS AGAIN IN EXCELLENT CONDITION MINIMAL CREASING AND RINGWEAR AND LIES FLAT
VINYL RECORD HAS A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACES AND THERE IS A VERY VERY TINY PIECE OF EXCESS VINYL FROM THE PRESSING PROCESS WHICH YOU CAN FEEL BUT DOESN'T AFFECT THE AUDIO AS WE HAVE PLAYED OVER IT A FEW TIMES TO CONFIRM ( SIDE 2 TRACK 2 ) ALSO COMES WITH SUPER CLEAN LEGIBLE LABELS AND AN UNWORN CENTREHOLE
A TEST PLAY PRODUCED EXCELLENT AUDIO TO BOTH SIDES WITH THE ODD VERY LIGHT POP ON SIDE 1 RUN IN WE USUALLY FIND WITH A LOT OF THESE OLDER PRESSINGS ( IN THIS CASE 56 YEARS ) AND HAVE REMAINED UNPLAYED FOR A LONG TIME A FEW PLAYS WILL GIVE YOU A BETTER SOUND QUALITY
