Beatles, The ‎– Abbey Road

There´s a version with Cat#: 1C 062-04 243,i own.

My old mans got a picture disc version of abbey road, with the front artwork on the the vinyl, will have to dig it out but does anyone have any info on it.

Based on http://www.fab4collectibles.com/apple_lp.htm, this is the second variant of the original release. Cover Version #2. It's described as "print on board" not a "slick" on cardboard. A black square can be seen on the bottom end of the white stripe between Ringo and John. This is missing from the later versions because the image had to be expanded for the covers that were made with slicks on cardboard. "Her Majesty" is listed on cover and on the label. Cover Version #2 is considered more rare than cover #1 since fewer were made this way with "Her Majesty" on the cover.

My copy is a Scranton pressing with the "print on board" cover. It's not white poster board but it's definitely not a slick either. The label has "MFG. BY APPLE RECORDS, INC" on the sliced Apple side (B-Side). The run-outs etchings show "SO1-383-F7#3" with the Scranton IAM triangle and "SO2-383-H8" (no #) with the Scranton IAM triangle. The label on my copy is best described on the site referenced above as “APP383SR2J(ii)(as), Spizer). I assume that’s a reference to a book on the subject by Bruce Spizer.

With so many variants of this release, it's best to describe as much as possible about it. This listing seems closest to my copy.

i have 2 copies of this,i found them at Best Buy(!)
as i understand it,these were NOS that resurfaced during the buzz of the re-mastered CD catalog release.i hadn't heard this album on vinyl in a good 30+ years~it is outstanding! i'd have to give it a 9 out of 10 rating--excellent!
i'm still kicking myself for not buying the ONE copy of The Beatles(White Album) that was on the shelf next to these,D'oh!!

Based on every online and offline source I've ever read, speaks to the UK "First Variation" of Abbey Road featuring the "misaligned Apple" on the back of the jacket.

Just bought the Abbey Road LP at "Best Buy" in the States. It's on thick vinyl. Catalogue number is Capitol C1-46446-1. "Her Majesty" is not listed and it has the "Apple Label". Even though the above points to the 1987-1988 Capitol release, I'm sure these are not 23 year old LP's being dumped on the market for 13USD.

Does anyone know the "date" of the above mentioned LP?

Thank you!

For most of my life I've considered the White Album their best. But recently I listened to side two of Abbey Road and it just knocked me out. I was even listening on a crappy one-speaker laptop; it was still awesome.

Side two is simply one of the most incredible and powerful pieces of music ever made. From the delicate opening notes of Here Comes the Sun (notes which I might add make for a great transition from the lumbering She's So Heavy -- an effect obviously not intended by the band, but which works in the age of CD and mp3) to the pounding drums on The End and the surprise dessert of Her Majesty, every second is astonishing. Whether they loved or hated each other at the time, they sure as hell made magic here.

The White Album is great because of the breadth and sheer scope of its styles. But as a singular work, it's hard to beat Abbey Road.

I have a AP-8815 From Japan, but its not shown up on here. Can someone help?

Side B - E 2138/C A 5

I have this version (with 2C 064 04243 on back cover) but the cat# on the label is 2C 062 04243... weird
