🔍 1. The "Small i" Discovery (Undocumented)
The standout feature of this copy is a fascinating typesetting error on the Side 1 label. In the primary album title, the letter "I" in "SUBMARINE" is rendered as a distinct "small i" (YELLOW SUBMARiNE). This variation is currently unlisted on Discogs and Yokono’s UK Beatles Guide.
2. The "No Printer Credit" Sleeve
This is a True First Pressing sleeve. Unlike the majority of 1969 copies that bear the "Garrod & Lofthouse" credit, this copy is the rare omission variant. This is the mark of the earliest batch of sleeves from January '69.
3. Condition: The "Unplayed" Aesthetic
The Vinyl: Retains its original deep gloss. Labels are pristine with zero spindle marks. Sleeve features high-mirror laminate with minor corner touches. Includes original 1969 black inner with a small tear on one side.
A definitive "one-and-done" copy for the serious completionist.
