IT COMES COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL TOP OPENING AND NUMBERED (0082093), LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE, WHICH HAS A 'STEREO' STICKER ON THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE. THERE ARE 4 ORIGINAL DE-LUXE QUALITY COLOUR PRINTS, ONE OF EACH BEATLE, AND THE ORIGINAL POSTER/LYRIC SHEET. THE DISCS ARE HOUSED IN BLACK DIE-CUT INNER SLEEVES.

THE SLEEVE
THE FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE WHITE HAS DISCOLOURED AND THERE ARE SIGNS OF RING WEAR. THERE ARE A FEW WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATION, THERE IS A NARROW CREASE DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE SPINE. THIS IS A FLIPBACK, TOP-OPENING SLEEVE.
‘THE BEATLES’ IS EMBOSSED ON THE FRONT COVER ALONG WITH THE NUMBER. THE NUMBER IS VERY CLEAR – IT IS: 0082093.
THE INNER SLEEVES
THE DIE-CUT BLACK INNER SLEEVES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THEY HAVE NOT SPLIT.
THE VINYL
THESE DISCS ARE GENERALLY IN FANTASTIC CONDITION. ALL FOUR SIDES STILL GLEAM AND SHINE AND I WOULD GRADE THEM AS BEING IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT MARKS AND A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS BUT NONE SEEM TO AFFECT PLAYBACK. THERE IS NO DISCERNIBLE DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, THE SOUND IS STUNNING THROUGHOUT.
THE LABELS
ALL FOUR APPLE LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PER LABEL. THE LABELS ALL CARRY THE "SOLD IN UK" & APPLE RECORDS" TEXT.
THE POSTER
THE POSTER/ LYRIC SHEET IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE IS JUST SOME MINOR FOXING. THERE ARE NO TEARS AND NO PIN-HOLES.
THE PHOTOS
THE FOUR PHOTOS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THESE ARE THE ULTIMATE, ICONIC IMAGES OF JOHN LENNON, PAUL McCARTNEY, GEORGE HARRISON AND RINGO STARR AND THEY ARE IN FANTASTIC CONDITION.
THIS FANTASTIC LOW-NUMBERED, FIRST PRESSED, STEREO COPY OF THE WHITE ALBUM IN A FLIPBACK TOP OPENING SLEEVE INCLUDES ALL INSERTS AND THE WHOLE IS IN GREAT CONDITION. I HAVE ENDEAVOURED TO BE AS STRICT AS POSSIBLE WHEN IT COMES TO GRADING THIS HISTORIC DOUBLE LP.

MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.
