The white album was first released in the UK in 1968. First pressings came in a top loading numbered Garrod & Lofthouse gatefold sleeve. When the original top loading sleeves were used up in 1969, they were replaced with a new numbering sequence (side opening) sleeve which lasted until some time in 1970 when the numbers were finally omitted for subsequent pressings.
These second pressing labels ceased to have the ‘Sold in the UK’ text but retained both the ‘An EMI recording’ and the ‘Mfd in the UK’ text. Even though these 1969 side openers were only released in stereo, they still retained the mono and stereo catalogue numbers along the spine. Nobody knows for sure how many of these numbered second pressings were made but they are considered to be quite a rarity now.
Cover: Garrod & Lofthouse 1969 UK 2nd pressing side loader gatefold cover. Embossed 'The Beatles' and numbered - please note that the printed number on the front has faded over time but can still be seen clearly when held up to the light. No writings or doodles. No poster or photos. Plain white paper (non poly-lined) inner sleeves. Excellent condition.
Labels: Excellent+.
Vinyl: Not play tested but looks to be VG+. Would benefit from a clean before playing as it has not been played for many years.
