About this record
The UK mono pressing PMC 7067/8 carries a manufacturing error that triggered an immediate corrected reissue: the label omits 'E.M.I. Recording' text, a flaw so significant Apple released a second version 7949991 with corrected labels within weeks.
Stamped runouts XEX 709, XEX 710, XEX 711, and XEX 712 identify this original error state across the four sides. Demand remains acute—6032 collectors want this pressing against 7412 who own one—yet only 69 copies are listed for sale, signaling scarcity of clean examples.
What drives its value
The price spread reflects condition dominance: a Mint copy commands 6252.76 USD, while a VG+ drops to 4278.21 USD and a VG settles at 2961.84 USD. The lowest asking price of 76.47 USD signals heavily played or damaged stock.
Only 69 copies are currently for sale across all platforms, a tight inventory for an album with 7412 recorded owners. The want-to-have ratio of 6032 against 7412 underscores persistent collector demand despite the pressing's relative availability.
As the mono error variant on Apple Records UK (PMC 7067/8), this pressing commands premiums over the stereo PCS 7067/8 and all US pressings (SWBO 101 variants), because the label misprint and numbered gatefold with G & L lamination define its scarcity and historical significance.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number PMC 7067/8 on the label spine and cover; mono pressings use PMC, while stereo variants use PCS. The error state requires inspection of the dark green Apple label: the absence of 'E.M.I.
Recording' text distinguishes this original from the corrected version 7949991. Examine the dead-wax stamping for one of the four runout codes—XEX 709, XEX 710, XEX 711, or XEX 712—each corresponding to a side.
Pressing plants Garrod & Lofthouse International Ltd. or The Gramophone Co. Ltd. may appear in the runout. The gatefold sleeve must be top-opening with G & L lamination, black inner sleeves, poster, and 4 color prints; the cover credits songs to 'Lennon/McCartney' while labels credit 'G.
Harrison' and 'R. Starkey' individually.
The numbered edition and absence of a barcode confirm the original 1968 UK release. Grade by vinyl surface condition and sleeve lamination integrity; the gatefold's laminate is prone to lifting.

Release notes
Initial numbered edition with top opening G & L laminated gatefold sleeve, black inners, poster & 4 color prints, dark green Apple labels with Ⓟ & "Sold In The UK...." text. This was released in error omitting the text 'E.M.I. Recording' on the label, so a second version 7949991 was promptly released with the corrected labels.
Eric Clapton uncredited on A7 for contractual reasons.
Songs are credited to 'Lennon/McCartney' on the jacket and to 'G. Harrison' and 'R. Starkey' on the labels.

Frequently asked
What is the price difference between a Mint and VG+ copy?
A Mint copy is valued at 6252.76 USD according to the price guide, while a VG+ is estimated at 4278.21 USD. The spread reflects the rarity of unplayed examples and the sensitivity of early Apple pressings to storage and handling damage.
Why does the PMC 7067/8 mono pressing cost more than the PCS 7067/8 stereo?
The mono PMC pressing carries the manufacturing error—omitted 'E.M.I. Recording' text—that triggered the immediate corrected reissue version 7949991. This error state, combined with the numbered gatefold and G & L lamination, makes the original mono variant more historically significant and scarcer in high grades than the stereo pressing.
How do I confirm I have the error version and not the corrected reissue?
Check the dark green Apple label for the absence of 'E.M.I. Recording' text; the corrected version 7949991 includes this text. Verify the catalogue number is PMC 7067/8 (mono) and inspect the dead-wax for one of the four stamped runouts: XEX 709, XEX 710, XEX 711, or XEX 712.
What is a VG copy worth?
The price guide estimates a VG copy at 2961.84 USD. This grade typically shows light wear to the sleeve and surface noise on playback but no skips or major scratches. The lowest asking price of 76.47 USD reflects heavily damaged stock, not a typical VG example.
Why are only 69 copies listed for sale when 7412 collectors own one?
Most owners hold their copies off the market; the want-to-have ratio of 6032 collectors seeking it against 7412 who own one indicates strong retention. The tight inventory of 69 for-sale copies suggests collectors are reluctant to sell, especially in higher grades where prices exceed 4278.21 USD for VG+ condition.
