THIS IS A MONO 1ST PRESSING AND IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!! IT IS ALSO 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL POSTER, RECORDS, 4 COLOUR PRINTS, ORIGINAL BLACK INNERS AND WHITE GATEFOLD COVER!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS IS A VERY VERY RARE LOW NUMBERED WHITE LP!!!! THIS WHITE ALBUM IS NUMBERED 0009954!!!!  THIS IS A VERY VERY LOW NUMBER INDEED!!!! IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE THESE DAYS TO FIND A 4 DIGIT WHITE ALBUM!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS ALSO IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - SO DONT MISS OUT!!!! This is the ORIGINAL MONO UK 1st pressing from 1968 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! This is an ORIGINAL 1st MONO Pressing with a DARK Green Apple Label, 'Sold in the UK' text, and a TOP opening numbered (0009954) cover. The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The matrix numbers are XEX 709-1, XEX 710-1, XEX 711-1 & XEX 712-1. The mother and stamper codes are 6/AM, 7/PL, 4/HL & 3/OA. The Cat. No is PMC 7067/68 on the ORIGINAL DARK Apple label (see picture) and is a MUCH rarer MONO 1st pressing!!!! This MONO 1st Pressing also has VERY early labels!!!!  Sides 1 & 2  DO NOT have ' An EMI Recording' on them - and Sides 3 & 4 do have this statement.  But if you look at the pictures you will see Sides 3 & 4 also DO have a MEGA RARE KT Tax code on them which shows this MONO 1st Pressing to be a very VERY early 1st Pressing indeed!!!!  All the tracks are Pure quality Beatles at their best!!!! Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in STUNNING condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and I will grade each side in turn visually and give a play grade and overall grading at the end.  Side 1 has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 of the faintest hairline traces only visible under EXTREME light and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  Side 1 must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  Side 2 has NO scratches, NO hairlines and only 2 or 3 MEGA tiny marks only visible under light!!!!  Side 2 must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  Side 3 has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and is basically visually perfect apart from 1 scuff mark near the edge of the record!!!! Side 3 must visually grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  Side 4 has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and is basically visually perfect apart from 1 light finger nail brush mark!!!! Side 4 must grade Excellent(Minus) if not better!!!!  ALL SIDES RETAIN EVERY BIT OF THEIR ORIGINAL SHINE AND HAVE A 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  THESE REALLY ARE A GREAT LOOKING SET OF RECORDS!!!!  It is great to find that the playing of the records is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! They play with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and NO hiss!!!! They play with STUNNING audio clarity with STUNNING booming bass and ZERO disortion!!!!  Most importantly there is virtually ZERO crackle - with only the VERY slightest touch in places - and mostly absolute SILENCE!!!!  On playgrading this record there was virtually NO distractions and I can only remember a very VERY few background clicks on 'Birthday' - though as this song is so loud I had to turn my treble up to a VERY high level just to hear them!!!!  They defintely come into the 'barely audible' category!!!!  And there are a VERY few clicks on the very quiet parts towards the end of Side 1.  BUT DONT UNDER ESTIMATE THIS SET OF RECORDS!!!!  IT IS VERY VERY HARD TO FIND A WHITE ALBUM THAT PLAYS AND LOOKS LIKE THIS!!!! There is absolutely NO groovewear either!!!!  The records must play grade overall at Excellent(Minus) and the overall grade for this set must be Very Good++++ if not Excellent(Minus)!!!! Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! BOTH records also come in their ORIGINAL Black inners which are in unsplit condition with NO rips, NO tears and NO feathering!!!! IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND INNERS LIKE THESE!!!!  Needless to say - I have already transfered the records OUT of the black inners and into some poly lined inners for the records and Black inners protection.  The poster and the 4 colour inserts are also in near PERFECT CONDITION in EVERY respect with NO splits, NO rips, and barely ANY creases AT ALL!!!! In my opinion they have NEVER been out of the cover!!!!

The Gatefold 'TOP OPENING' 'LOW NUMBERED' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (still laminated), NO ringwear, NO grubbyness, only slight corner wear, only a VERY few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking) and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight and even the inside of the cover is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO damage to the flipbacks (PERFECT flipbacks), NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!! The number looks like it was pressed yesterday and the raised writing of 'The Beatles' is DIRT FREE!!!! The only downsides to the LP is some VERY light general yellowing (VERY slightly more towards the spine) and 1 small brown age mark on the cover front and also one on the inside.  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better and has to be one of the best conditioned LOW NUMBERED 'White Album' covers I have seen!!!! LOW NUMBERED 'WHITE ALBUMS' RARELY TURN UP IN THIS CONDITION - SO DO NOT MISS THIS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this RARE Beatles LP!!!! THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO BUY A COMPLETE ORIGINAL 1968 MONO LOW NUMBERED 1ST PRESS OF "THE BEATLES (THE WHITE ALBUM)" BY THE BEATLES, IN BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!!  Dont forget to have a look at all my other auctions including many other VERY rare Beatles & Other LPs, and contact me with any queries you may have.
