THE BEATLES
(The White Album)
Highly Collectible COMPLETE Original Stereo Press!
This listing is for a very rare and highly collectible complete stereo 1st press of the Beatles double LP 'The Beatles' (otherwise known as the White Album). This set comes complete with both original black inner sleeves, all four photos and poster!
It is extremely difficult to find a complete, original white album. Most fans took the photos and poster out to hang up on their wall, or used the poster to sing along with the lyrics. The fragile paper would get damaged or drawn on, torn up and ultimately thrown away.
Not this copy, however, this is a very nice and highly respectible complete stereo copy of this legendary double LP!!
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.
Title The Beatles (White Album Year of Release 1968 Catalogue Number PCS 7067/8 Label Dark Apple with 'Sold in UK' statement Tax Code on Disc KT Sleeve Manufacturer - Side 1 Matrix Number YEX 709-1 Side 2 Matrix Number YEX 710-1 Side 3 Matrix Number YEX 711-1 Side 4 Matrix Number YEX 712-1 Side 1 Stampers 5 / GGD Side 2 Stampers 3 / GRM Side 3 Stampers 1 / O Side 4 Stampers 1 / RG Cover Condition The cover is in VG+/EX- condition. The cover is looking very clean, although it has creamed a little as these covers so commonly do. There's a little wear along the top on the opening and also a little on the spine, but overall there are no splits, or tear anywhere and is holding up very nicely overall! In the gatefold there's a small water stain at the bottom in the middle as you can see in the photos below. Overall, looking very nice! Inner Sleeve Condition The inner sleeves are in VG condition. They're holding up okay but with a little creasing, disc impression and some fraying on the seams and opening, but overall look decent. One has an original 'Anderssons Musik' advertising sticker, implying that this copy may have originally been exported to Sweden! Inserts Condition The photos are in NM condition and look like they're barely ever been taken out of the sleeve!The poster is in VG+ condition. It's holding up with with some light creases and with some worn seams, some of which have started to tear a little at the edges and in the corners of the folds. Overall, though, is looking alright.
Disc Condition(VISUALLY GRADED) Disc 1 is in EX- condition. The disc has a really nice shine to it and the playing surface looks pretty clean with just some light, faint scuffing. It's also a little dusty and looks like it might benefit from a professional clean.
Disc 2 is in VG condition. The disc has a really nice shine to it but looks like it has a fair amount of scuffing - but it's almost like these scuffs are under the surface, if that makes any sense. I've no idea if this affects play but they show when I hold the record under my light at a certain angle, so I mentioned it.
Label Condition The labels on both discs are in EX+/NM- condition. The labels look beautiful with no writing, tears, stickers etc and just a little, light spindlewear and nearly no whitening around the centrehole. Nice labels!
All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.
