Notes

℗ 1969.
"An E.M.I. Recording"
Mfd. in U.K.

This version is the "first label, revised cover" version:
Dark green labels with a whole apple on the A-side label and a half, sliced-open apple on B-side. The labels have the "(An E.M.I. Recording)" text on two lines and small "33 1/3" text moved to the left side. Publishing year printed with a small ℗ symbol. The B-side label does not have "Her Majesty" credits. The labels are quite dark, although the actual shade of green varies between copies.
Comes in a full laminated cover without flaps on the back side. The front cover has the drain showing, the rear cover has the Apple logo aligned with the text, and 'Her Majesty' is not listed.

"Thanks to George Martin, Geoff Emerick and Phillip McDonald".

Abbey Road is like listening to pink floyd's the wall, whereby the entire recording flows well, track by track.
it is one of those rare records you simply cannot take the needle off the record and skip to another track but let it play in its entirety, which is why i love this album so much.
it's a shame that so many different Mastering variations were utilized, making it extremely difficult to guess which version would sound the best, and as such many of us were not happy with the version we purchased.
After listening to this album in its many versions for over 30 years, I myself found that this particular version The Beatles - Abbey Road offfers a great balance of sound, albeit a reissue.

Can someone help me? My copy is a 1969 copy, uncroped cover, with the thin text on side A and thick text on side B, and it's a Rockaway press. Help!

Rare Misprint? My copy is a Canadian Capitol Records pressing with catalog #SO-383. It has the purple label with the Capitol logo on top. Here's where it gets interesting: SIDE A is actually SIDE A of Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother" while the second side is SIDE B of Abbey Road as it should be. There's very little info online and no listing for it on this site. Anyone got the same copy or some info on it?
