On offer here is a very rare double LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called 'The Beatles (more commonly known as 'The White Album')' and is a UK Parlophone EXPORT pressing on the ULTRA RARE Parlophone labels!!!! THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS!!!!  THIS IS QUITE SIMPLY ONE OF THE RAREST BEATLES LPS EVER AND IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS!!!!  I WILL EXPLAIN THIS LP IN GREAT DETAIL AND SHOW EXACTLY WHY THIS LP IS SO SERIOUSLY RARE!!!!  THIS LP WAS FIRST EXPORTED ON THE STANDARD YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL IN 1968.  HOWEVER BY 1969 A SECOND EXPORT PRESSING WAS NEEDED!!!!  APPLE STILL DID NOT HAVE THE LICENSE THE SELL THEIR RECORDS IN CERTAIN MINOR COUNTRIES - AND SO THIS WHITE ALBUM WAS PRESSED ON PARLOPHONE INSTEAD (ON THE 1969 BLACK/SILVER 'ONE BOX' EMI LABEL)!!!!  THE AMOUNT THAT WAS NEEDED TO BE EXPORTED (PROBABLY NO MORE THAN 300 OR 400) WAS ESTIMATED - AND THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF UK COVERS, POSTERS AND COLOUR PRINTS WAS EXPORTED OUT.  HOWEVER BY NOW EMI HAD FOUND A MUCH EASIER WAY TO EXPORT THIS WHITE ALBUM!!!!  WHILST THESE TINY COUNTRIES COULD NOT PRODUCE THEIR OWN COVERS, POSTERS, AND COLOUR PRINTS, THEY COULD PRODUCE SMALL AMOUNTS OF EXPORT RECORDS!!!!  AND SO THIS MADE IT FAR EASIER FOR EMI TO EXPORT THIS DOUBLE LP.  AND SO EMI EXPORTED ONE SET OF MOTHER METAL PLATES TO PRESS THESE ULTRA RARE RECORDS IN THE COUNTRY OF EXPORT (WITH UK 1ST PRESS MATRIXES), AND EXPORTED UK 1ST PRESS COVERS, POSTERS & COLOUR PRINTS!!!!  AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS AMAZING DOUBLE LP IS!!!!  THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE 1969 UK EXPORT 2ND PRESS - WITH A 1ST PRESS UK 'NUMBERED' GATEFOLD FLIPBACK COVER, 1ST PRESS UK 'FULL SIZE' POSTER, 1ST PRESS 4 COLOUR PRINTS, ORIGINAL DATE CODED (9-69) INNER SLEEVES, AND ORIGINAL EXPORT RECORDS (WITH 1ST PRESS UK MATRIXES)!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - AND IT WILL SURELY BE A VERY VERY LONG TIME (IF EVER) BEFORE YOU SEE ANOTHER!!!! 

This is the ORIGINAL UK EXPORT 2nd pressing from 1969 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! This is the ORIGINAL UK EXPORT 2nd Pressing on the ULTRA RARE Export 'One Box EMI' Parlophone Labels, ULTRA RARE 'Date Coded' inner sleeves, 'The Gramophone Company' Text on BOTH labels, 1st Press UK 'Full Size' Poster, 1st Press UK 4 Colour Prints, and a 1st Press UK TOP opening 'Numbered' FULLY Laminated Flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Cover!!!! The UK matrix numbers are YEX 709-1, YEX 710-1, YEX 711-1 & YEX 712-1 (the 1st Press UK matrixes)!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS COVER HAS AN AMAZING MISPRINT WHICH I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!!!  If you look at my picture of the number on the cover front you can clearly see the 5th digit hasnt 'turned over' correctly - and has actually stamped part of two numbers!!!!  THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN THIS ON A WHITE ALBUM EVER!!!!  As a result the number is 0568?80 - with the 5th number being unidentifiable!!!!  The number also fits in 100% CORRECTLY to this ULTRA RARE 1969 EXPORT issue - being a VERY high 1st Press number, which would correspond EXACTLY to this date!!!!  The Cat. No is PCS 7067/68 on the ORIGINAL EXPORT Parlophone labels (see picture) and is a STEREO pressing!!!!  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 few light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT 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 ALL sides have NO scratches, only 2 or 3 VERY light hairlines, only 2 or 3 VERY light NON sounding scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ALL SIDES RETAIN EVERY BIT OF THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  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, only some VERY low level background crackle in a VERY few places, and only some VERY low level background sound on the run on grooves and VERY quietest parts of the music!!!!  The records must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  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 ULTRA RARE 'Date Coded' inners which are in BRILLIANT condition with NO splits!!!!  The UK 'Full Size' Poster and the UK 4 Colour Inserts are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) - with only a couple of TINY pinholes (almost invisible) in the corners of 2 of the colour prints (the other 2 are PERFECT), and some VERY slight yellowing to the reverse of the poster!!!!

The 1st Press STEREO Gatefold 'TOP OPENING' Laminated Flipback MISPRINTED 'Numbered' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (still a VERY nice shape to ALL corners), only a few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking), VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, STUNNING flipbacks, STUNNING shiny laminate, NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, and barely ANY yellowing!!!!  The ULTRA RARE 'Misprinted' Number on the cover front looks like it was pressed yesterday and the raised writing of 'The Beatles' is STUNNING and NOT yellowed AT ALL!!!!   The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better and is VERY hard to find in this condition!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
