ONE OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL U.S. ISSUED “ABBEY ROAD” ALBUM FACTORY SEALED AND IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION.

An original late 1960’s/Early 1970’s issued apple label, Abbey Road album still sealed in the original factory shrink-wrap. Back cover has the Apple logo. (Apple SO-383). This example is in great condition corner to corner. Sealed examples of this title are getting increasingly difficult to find as time passes. I just noticed a small half inch opening near the top of the mouth of the record compartment.

Indeed, this is the Beatles best all time selling original release and not many remain sealed. This is the earlier poster board style constructed cover and it has a good chance of having the “Apple label with the Capitol Logo” style record inside. Back of cover does have “Her Majesty listed. This is the second batch cover listing ‘Her Majesty” and are less common and rarer than covers not listing the song. 

This album is guaranteed to be authentic and original as stated for life as per Mr. Cox’s letter of authenticity dated 05/10/2009. Laminated letter included with album.

This book was autographed by Billy Preston in full name in the interior spread that features his pictures.

The book is in great shape too with no loose pages. It is in near mint condition. Size is 8 ½” by 11” and is about 160 pages of great color shots and some pages with movie dialogue.

Billy was a multi talented performer and song writer who was not only a good friend of all the Beatles, ( I believe Billy Preston meet the Beatles in the old days in Hamburg Germany when he was working with “Little Richard”). but the only artist to ever receive co-artist credit with the Beatles on any of their releases on the Beatles single “Get Back” Mr. Preston past away in 2006 but will always be an important part of the Beatles history as a giving and very talented person.

A Brief History...

I like millions of others became a Beatles fan on that faithful Sunday night in February 1964 when the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show. I was hooked and was lucky enough to attend the three Beatles concerts at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto 1964, 65, 66. I will never forget in 64 my Dad getting two Beatles tickets in the blue seats and the reaction of my babysitter when I asked her if she wanted a cool sitting gig and needless to say she was quick to accept and as they say the rest is history.

Here we are 46 years later and it seems that a day does not go by I don’t hear a Beatles song playing somewhere which is amazing. I dare say that somewhere in the world there is always someone listening to a Beatles song 24 / 7. I hope you enjoy my site and take a look at some very high quality, authentic Beatles memorabilia. Also, check out some of my favourite Beatles links.

Thanks for stopping by!!!!!!!!!!
