THE BEATLES White Album 2-LP Gatefold vinyl set 1968 First Press SWBO-101 Stereo
Please read everything carefully below so you know exactly the rarity you are buying.
Insanely low numbered and Embossed Original 1968 U.S. pressing of The Beatles 'White Album'. This is the rare and highly sought after pressing containing all 7 printing errors on the labels. Upon release of the album, John Lennon noticed these mistakes and had them corrected immediately on future pressings but not before some of these extremely rare error copies had already entered the marketplace. With the Insanely LOW number 0142025 (the very earliest copies omitted the preceding 'A') and the Crazy LOW matrix numbers, this may be the earliest White Album known to exist today !! The matrix numbers are proof that this is the very first pressing after George Harrison destroyed the previous recordings because he was appalled at the sound. Those matrix stamps were B34 and earlier and were known to be destroyed. Do some research online, and you'll be amazed at the story of the Lost Harrison White Album.
The records are still nice and glossy and show scratches/scuffs. With this being such an early press, it's understandable to show this kind of play after 52 years. The labels are **MINT PRISTINE** with NO writing and NO stickers. The outer spine is very nice. The inner spine shows some wear. There is almost no ring wear, and NO seam splits showing, after some neat minor repairs. NO WRITING on any of the amazing record labels, and NO WRITING on the front, back or inside the record sleeve! It comes with 4 MINT Portrait Photos and a gorgeous ORIGINAL poster with the lyrics. The cover is totally intact with corner bumps, and just the normal wear. Comes with Original inner sleeves. This is as nice an insanely low numbered White Album with insanely low matrix numbers stamped in the wax, with ALL 7 ERRORS and the original poster with lyrics, as you'll see for sale. Don't miss this extremely early rare LA pressing !!
If you prefer a stunning MINT copy, I presently have one on here for sale. Take a look: eBay Item # 124120439271
ALL the photos you see above are of the EXACT treasures you will receive !! You really don't want to miss this one, as Insanely low numbered White Albums with ALL Rare 7 Errors, with NO seam splits showing, all 4 photos and original poster, are getting more scarce each year.

Here's very invaluable information on how The Beatles White Albums were numbered, and the meaning behind all the sequences...
The first 25 White Albums were numbered with an “A” prefix and then a series of zeros preceding the number (e.g. A0000009). There are always seven digits following the “A” so if it was a single digit number it would be preceded by six zeroes or if it was a two digit number it would be preceded by five zeroes. It is not known what the “A” was indicative of (it may mean “printed in America” or “Apple” but neither is confirmed).
Numbers 26-99 were three digit numbers preceded with a zero and no prefix.
Numbers 100 through approximately 209,999 were preceded with the correct number of zeroes to make them a seven digit number
(with no letter prefix)
Beginning around 210,000 to up near 590,000, they were preceded by a zero and had an 'A' prefix.
Later copies up to about 1,350,000 remain at seven digits using a leading zero if necessary and are prefixed with a large dot.
The next batch from 1,350,000 up to some point around 2,000,000 are prefixed with an “A” but it's a thinner “A” than used earlier.
From 2,000,000 to around 2,250,000 some are prefixed with a large dot and some with the “A”
From 2,250,000 up to 3,000,000 the numbers are prefixed with the abbreviation for number (i.e. “No.”). On some of these the “o” in “No.” is raised with the period below it instead of beside it, and some with a large 'A'.
For the final numbers over 3,000,000 the numbers are prefixed with a wide “A"
