Description
PLEASE READ FIRST!
I'm having to make this even clearer as people are still buying records I'm grading low and as a 'collection filler', and then complain about the audio quality when they try to play them. As I VISUALLY GRADE my records I cannot guarantee that discs will be click, skip and noise free (although any marks that may cause such problems will be highlighted in the description). If you're looking for a copy to listen to then please look elsewhere.
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
THE BEATLES
The Beatles (White Album)
Complete MONO Pressing with VERY LOW NUMBER! 0014120!
This listing is for a very rare, original copy of the Beatles double LP 'The Beatles', more commonly known as the White Album. This copy comes complete with it's original poster, four photos and black sugar paper inner sleeves.
This copy also features the extremely low number of 0014120!
The album was originally issued in November, 1968. The minimalist cover was designed by Richard Hamilton and every original issue of the record was printed with it's own, unique number. The vast, vast majority of copies of the White Album all have their numbers up in the 100,000 range (since numbered copies went up into the 500,000s, it means that over 80% of numbered copies were numbered over 100,000). To find a White Album cover number way down in the tens of thousands range is very difficult!
This is a complete, original mono set with a very low number of 0014120!!
Not in the best condition but is being sold complete due to its high collectablity and rarity!
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
