BEATLES WHITE ALBUM 1968 SWBO-101 FIRST PRESSING WITH 6 RARE LABEL ERRORS AND MINT PRISTINE CLEAN LABELS !!

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*****

A 1495649 Numbered and Embossed Original 1968 U.S. pressing of The Beatles 'White Album'. This is the rare and highly sought after pressing containing 6 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. The records while glossy show play and scratches (Side 2 is NM). The labels are PRISTINE with NO writing and NO stickers. The outer spine is intact. The inner spine shows wear. The front cover is exceptional, and has NO seam splits showing after some fine repairs. NO WRITING on any of the record labels, and NO WRITING on the front, back or inside the sleeve!  The spindle holes are nice. The original inner sleeves are present, with the normal splits. This is as nice a starter set with 6 Label errors as you'll see for sale for under $100.
The photos you see above are of the EXACT treasures you will receive !! You really don't want to miss this one, as White Albums with the rare label errors, are getting more scarce each year. I've collected these almost exclusively for over 40 years and these treasures are rarely sold at this amazingly low buy it now price. I do have many in my collection and I'm listing this one this affordable to clear out some I've had for many years. The four portrait photos and poster are absent.

If you are seeking a much nicer, near mint Beatles White Album, with all 7 errors, I just listed item# 124082770146

This is a nice starter set with rare 6 errors at under $100.  Don't wait as this Beatles White Album will not last long !!

 Here are all 7 song errors on the labels:
1. "Bungalow Bill" instead of "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill"
2. "Obladi Oblada" instead of "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da"
3. "Rocky Racoon" missing the second "C" in Raccoon
4. "Goodnight" instead of "Good Night"
5. "Revolution No. 1" instead of "Revolution 1"
6. "Revolution No. 9" instead of "Revolution 9"


LPs with all 7 label errors have the following wax etchings: Side 1: SWBO-1-101- J46 #4
Side 2: SWBO-2-101- J45
Side 3: SWBO-3-101- J47 #3

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"
