THE BEATLES ''WHITE ALBUM'' ((MONO))
1st UK PRESSING DOUBLE ALBUM CAT NO. PMC 7067 & PMC7068 EXTREEMELY RARE (NO EMI )
GARROD & LOFTHOUSE COVER
This is the original UK 1st pressing of the MONO album "The Beatles, the White album" by The Beatles on the Apple label catalogue number PMC 7067 & 7068. As this album was being issued, Mono records were being phased out despite these being the preferred mix for many listeners including The Beatles. The Mono mix offers a fuller, richer and fuller sound than the Stereo thus is the preferred mix for collectors. This particular copy is an early example and is housed in the top opening gatefold sleeve. The sleeve is numbered 0106592, which for a Beatles album of the time would have been snapped up in the first few days of issue
There is no Stereo print on the back of the sleeve as with later issues. The labels on all four sides of the album are in great shape, showing only moderate spindle marks when tilted to the light. Labels do not display "An EMI Recording" and each has "Sold In UK" text. KT tax code is embossed on all Sides of the albums. All labels are free from writing or any sticker marks.
Matrix numbers are as follows: Side 1, XEX 709-1, Side 2, XEX 710-1. Side 3, XEX 711-1. Side 4, XEX 712-1
Vinyl retains a lovely sheen and although does have some marks, these are light and none sounding when played. Playback is great with no clicks, no jumps, no sticks, just clear Beatles music.
The original black inners are still with the albums one is torn in the middle a little. I do stress these are the original inners not reproductions that some sell to spoil the authenticity of such items.
HAPPY BIDDING
