McCartney - by Paul & Linda McCartney.
1973 reissue by Apple Records, catalog # STAO 3363 or SMAS-3363 in a gatefold cover. This is one of the earlier reissues as the original album was released in 1970. Based on the runouts, this was likely pressed at Winchester and appears to be a fairly uncommon edition with just a few people claiming it on Discogs (14 "have", 74 "want"). There is no "ABKCO" on the back cover, just the Apple Records logo
The album cover is graded in VG condition. Seams are strong and intact, front cover in nice condition with good color and gloss, inner gatefold in excellent condition with touch of ring wear, back cover has moderate to heavy ring wear (see pictures). Some corner softening and minor edgewear. Overall a fine album cover for its age.
The vinyl is rated in VG condition. Appearance to naked eye is very clean (disc has been ultrasonically cleaned and hand clean finished). Under direct bright light there are some surface marks and hairlines but overall they're pretty light. The VG rating is mainly due to play testing, where the music plays nicely but you will likely hear some crackle/static on the album behind the music or at quiet spots.
Overall a nice copy of a time-tested album by one of the all-time greats
