Description
Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.

THE BEATLES
The Beatles (White Album)
Extremely Rare Error Press with 'Racoon' Misspelling!!
On offer here is an extremely rare original UK stereo copy of the Beatles double LP 'The White Album'. This is the famous error press that misspells 'Rocky Raccoon' as 'Rocky Racoon'.
The 'Racoon' copies of the White Album are extremely hard to find. The error was spotted and corrected almost immediately, but not before a few copies snuck past on the production line!
This copy is also fully complete with original black inner sleeves, photos and poster! It also features the rare KJT transitional taxcode!
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

The sleeve is looking really, really nice with some light creaming to the white and some small knocks and creases around the edges. There's a small mark or stain over the embossed 'The Beatles' on the front cover. There's a little, light rubbing on the side seams that's made them a little rough to the touch, but hasn't split or torn the sleeve in any way. The spine is a little worn with some cracking laminate but, again, there are no splits or tears of any kind. Inner gatefold is wonderfully clean and shiny with a fresh, clean laminate. Inner Sleeve Condition The inner sleeves are in VG+ condition. The inner sleeve are looking really nice and predominantly flat with juts some light creasing and disc impression. A side seam has a small split in the middle on each of them, but other than that they're holding up very well. Inserts Condition The photos are in EX- condition. The photos are clean and looking great with just some light, general wear and tear and light aging.The poster is in G condition. The poster is complete and holding, but does have some wear and tear, and there are splits in the seams. Looks a little fragile.
Disc Condition(VISUALLY GRADED) Both discs are in EX- condition. The playing surfaces looks very clean with just some light scuffs here and there. Nothing at all serious or bad looking and, overall, looking very nice! Label Condition The labels are in NM- condition. The labels are wonderfully clean and looking top notch with just a little light, faint spindery spindlewear and no whitening around the centre hole. Beautiful labels!

My Regarding 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.
