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 - White Album
Extremely Rare 2nd Press from Late '69!
Features Side Opening Cover with 7 Digit Number! Only 50,000 Copies Ever Pressed!
Complete with Photos and Poster!
On offer here is a very, very rare 'crossover' pressing of the legendary Beatles album 'The Beatles', mostly commonly known as the White Album. This is the late 1969 press that features the later side opening sleeve but which features the original, 7 digit number stamped on the front!
These were only available for a tiny, tiny period of time before the 7 digit number was replaced with the much more common 6 digit number that you usually see on side opening sleeves.
This transition, or crossover, sleeve with the older, original 7 digit number appeared in late 1969 and, by the start of 1970, had already been replaced with the 6 digit number. It's said that just 50,000 copies were ever manufactured back in 1969 like this that were numbered from 0100000 to 0150000. The copy that's on offer here is number 0115557.
This copy features the correct dark Apple style labels without matt finish and comes complete with poster and portrait photos!
Please make no mistake as to how rare these copies are. Copies so rarely, if ever, come up for sale and, today, they're incredibly hard to find!
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.
