FOR PERSONAL REASONS, I AM LOWERING THE PRICES ON ALL MY VINYL AND AUCTIONS - MAKES FOR SOME VERY RARE ITEMS IN GREAT CONDITION AT FAR BELOW COMPETITIVE PRICES.

THIS IS THE POPULAR BEATLES GATEFOLD ALBUM KNOWN AS THE "WHITE ALBUM."  IT COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL 4 BONUS COLOR PHOTOS ON HEAVY GLOSSY STOCK (A QUALITY PHOTO OF EACH BEATLE - SEE PHOTOS).  THE 4 BONUS COLOR PHOTOS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO FLAWS. 

THE ALBUM IS NUMBERED #1247958 ON THE FRONT COVER.  THE BEATLES NAME IS ALSO EMBOSSED ON THE FRONT COVER. THE RECORD LABEL NUMBER OF THE ALBUM IS SWBO-101.

THE PHOTOS I POSTED SHOW THE OVERALL CONDITION AND THE LEGENDARY SONG TRACK OF THE TWO RECORDS.  WHAT ALBUM PERSONIFIES THE BEATLES MORE THAN "THE WHITE ALBUM?"

REGARDING SONGS, ONE OF MY FAVORITE BEATLES SONG IS "REVOLUTION 1."  I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE SONG ENTITLED, "REVOLUTION 9."  BOY, WAS I WONDERING HOW THEY PUT THAT SONG TOGETHER.  THEY CERTAINLY MADE GOOD USE OF THE STEREO SOUND FOR THE SOUND EFFECTS.  THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH "REVOLUTION 9" KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

ALTHOUGH NOT MINT, THE COVER HAS MADE THE JOURNEY OVER THE LAST MANY DECADES IN BASICALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION.  THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD BASICALLY HAS NO FLAWS AT ALL - (SEE PHOTOS).  THE OUTSIDE OF THE ALBUM DOES HAVE SOME HANDLING SIGNS IN THE FORM OF LIGHT BLACKISH GREY TONING IN SPOTS AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS.  THE ONLY OTHER SIGN OF WEAR IS A 3-4-INCH TEAR IN THE UPPER FRONT AND REAR EDGES WHERE THE BONUS PHOTOS AND RECORDS WERE INSERTED.  YOU CAN'T SEE THEM UNLESS YOU LOOK AT THE GATEFOLD COVER FROM THE TOP.  OTHERWISE, THE ALBUM COVER IS IN VERY WELL PRESERVED CONDITION. THE SPINE IS EXCELLENT WITH NO RIPS.  THERE IS NO WRITING. THERE IS NO WATER STAINING.  BASICALLY, THERE IS NOTHING MAJOR.  IN FACT, THE ALBUM COVER IS IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION THAN THE MAJORITY OF THOSE I SEE FOR SALE ON EBAY.  AGAIN, HOWEVER, DO NOT EXPECT MINT CONDITION.  THEN AGAIN, I AM NOT PRICING IT AS THOSE WITH "MINT CONDITION" ARE PRICING THOSE ALBUMS.

BOTH VINYL RECORDS HAVE MINT LABELS.  BOTH ALSO PLAY VERY WELL WITH VERY LITTLE BACKGROUND ISSUES.  OVERALL, I WOULD SAY THE TOTAL ARRAY OF SONGS PROVIDE A STRONG 9 OUT OF 10 PERFORMANCE IN PLAYING AS INTENDED WHEN THE ALBUM WAS BRAND NEW.  YOU CAN SEE SOME LIGHT SCRATCHES UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT, BUT DON'T EFFECT THE ENTERTAINMENT SOUNDS OF THE SONGS.  THE WORST FACTOR I CAN MENTION WHEN I PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF EACH RECORD ARE A SCARCE FEW MINOR POPS AND ONE MINOR MICRO-SKIP ON SONG 1 OF SIDE 2 (MARTHA, MY DEAR). THIS HAPPENS NEAR THE VERY EDGE OF THE RECORD AND, IF YOU ARE NOT LISTENING VERY CLOSELY, IT IS SO MINOR YOU COULD MISS IT.  IT IS DEFINITELY NOT A BIG FACTOR.

I BELIEVE THERE IS ALSO AN EQUALLY MINOR MICRO-SKIP ON SONG ONE (NEAR THE EDGE) OF SIDE 3 (BIRTHDAY). I MENTION THESE MINIMAL FLAWS FOR THE SAKE OF PURISTS WHO WANT FLAWLESS 50-YEAR OLD VINYL.  MOST SELLERS WOULD NOT EVEN MENTION THESE MINOR FLAWS, BUT I WANT TO BE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE.  I BELIEVE MY DESCRIPTION IS HONEST AND ACCURATE.

OTHER THAN THAT, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE OVERALL EXCELLENT PLAYING CONDITION OF THESE 50 YEAR-YEAR OLD VINYL RECORDS.  BEING ON THE ORIGINAL APPLE LABEL DOESN'T HURT THE COLLECTIBLE QUALITIES OF THE VINYL ALBUM.

I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW JUST HOW NICE THE CONDITION IS OF ALL MY RECORD ALBUMS.  AS SUCH, I HAVE POSTED AS MANY PHOTOS AS I COULD THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF THE COVER, THE LABELS, THE VINYL, THE BONUS PHOTOS, ETC. YOU CAN SEE THE EXACT CONDITION OF THE ENTIRE "UNIQUE" PACKAGE AS DESCRIBED.  - SEE PHOTOS.

OH, IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE A FEW LIGHT MARKS OR STREAKS ON THE SHINY VINYL, IT IS ONLY THE REFLECTIONS OF A CHANDELIER I HAVE HANGING OVER THE TABLE WHERE I TAKE THE PHOTOS.  OF COURSE, THOSE LITTLE SPARKLING "REFLECTIONS" ARE NOT ON THE VINYL.

I AM PRICING THIS EXCELLENT VINYL ALBUM COLLECTOR'S GEM ON THE APPLE LABEL VERY COMPETITIVELY.
