Description
Complete & original 1st UK Mono press of The Beatles eponymous 1968 double album ‘The Beatles’ aka the White Album. Released on the 22nd November 1968, this 1st pressing was issued with the all four sides missing “An EMI Recording” from the labels which was soon corrected on the 2nd press. All four sides have matrix numbers ending in -1 correctly denoting they were pressed from the 1st lacquers and the low mother & stamper codes show this set was very early off the press. The sleeve is an incredibly low sub 4,000 No. 0003910. This set is still complete with all original parts - two delicate black inners, large foldout poster with song lyrics on the flip-side, and 4 portrait photos of the band, also including the original photo spacer used to protect the top photo that was so often discarded.
Serial number: PMC 7067/8
Matrix number: XEX 709-1, XEX 710-1, XEX 711-1, XEX 712-1
Mother & stampers codes: 1HP, 7PG, 1GP, 1GM
Condition:
Superb condition all round! Both discs have a clean glossy sheen with obvious marks or wear when viewed in good natural light and under strong direct halogen spotlight only short light hairlines are visible, EXCELLENT! Both discs sit completely flat on the turntable with no warping or dishing. They play with that full punchy first-press audio, light static can be heard during some quiet passages, there is obviously no skips or sticks with this grade, no repeat clicks or loud obtrusive pops. EXCELLENT! Next, the very low numbered No. 0003910 sleeve is in also in fantastic condition. The front face is glossy and clean without ring wear, stains, marks or scuffs. Same for the back and insides. The spine is fully readable. No issues to report. EXCELLENT! The set is also still complete with both original black inners that remarkably do not have any splits, EXCELLENT! All four photos are EXCELLENT still including original rare photo spacer. The large fold out lyrics poster has no tears, pen, stains, tape or pin marks, EXCELLENT! A real standout full set 1st UK mono press of a Beatles classic with a remarkably low sleeve, No. 3910!
