Description
THE BEATLES Yellow Submarine (Parlophone PCS 7070) RARE UK 1st Pressing Red Lines + Inner MINT-
RARE very first UK stereo pressing of The Beatles soundtrack album "Yellow Submarine" on Apple Records (January 1969).
This is the earliest stereo version of the first pressing that includes black inner sleeve, standard Apple labels with ‘Sold in U.K.’ statement, and red lines above and below the sleeve notes on the back of sleeve. Also, there are no printers credits ("Garrod & Lofthouse") on the bottom flipback, making this specific issue an even rarer find!
"There were albums which weren't any good as far as I was concerned, like 'Yellow Submarine'." - George Harrison, Crawdaddy Magazine (1977).
GRADING:
EX++ to MINT- COVER. Original front-laminated sleeve in pristine condition. Please see photos for details.
