Note: All records I list are from my personal archive.

They have been shelved upright in a clean, cool dry , environment. Attempts to capture a clear photo of the record condition has proved fruitless. Because of this, I'm grading on the low end to assure the buyer the best accurate description for the most enjoyable listening experience. Sound quality is excellent and playback flawless unless otherwise stated in description.

All albums in this series up to "Magical Mystery Tour" have the purple Capitol label. The remaining titles are on Apple.

Each copy has a black "Limited Edition" sticker on the shrink-wrap.

These pressings make a total of 3 variations for each UK title (up to Revolver) that Capitol issued 1987-95.

For variation #3:

-Catalog # revised to C1 0777 7 46439 1 7, seen on spine, lower right back cover by the Apple logo, and on labels.

-Purple Capitol label design with the Parlophone logo on the left side of label above the “1” and “2” and Apple logo on the right.

-Capitol oval and Apple logos along the bottom back

-UPC on the back is more rectangular shape

-Most pressings came with black “Limited Edition” hype sticker on the shrink-wrap with a corresponding catalog number. (see photo)
