(Note:  If you win multiple items in a week’s listings, please wait for the end of all of the auctions for me to invoice you, so that you can take advantage of my combined shipping offer.  Thanks!)

READ THIS! These records are NOT sold for perfect sound quality. They’re sold for their scarcity and VISUAL grading. They’ve been in storage for a decade, and they WILL play with surface noise that can be addressed with D4 or a VPI cleaning.  I can’t test-play at the minute. Please don’t bid if this is a problem for you.

Beatles LP White Album 1975 Apple Scarcer “All Rights” Los Angeles, NM!

The single most common “All Rights Reserved” variation for the White Album has the disclaimer at the bottoms of the labels, semi-circular on all four sides.  The rest are going to give you a lot of trouble.

This copy features the disclaimer on two lines, just below the stem on the whole Apple sides, and on five lines in the upper right shoulder on the sliced Apple sides.

If you still don’t have one of these for your collection (and I can see why), this one’s a gorgeous keeper.

Vinyl--- NM/NM.  NM/EX.  All sides look very close to unplayed.  Some light manufacturer’s defects per side.  Side 4 does have some manufacturer’s tracks in the playing surface.  Still 95% brand new-looking.

Plates--- F80/H71.  F82/F73.  Machine-stamped asterisk in the dead wax makes this copy pressed in Los Angeles.

Cover--- VG+.  Pretty nice cover.  Full glossy inside and out.  Front cover has a couple of very light, very small stains.  Back cover has some small spots.  Both front and back have light yellowing around the edges, but not bad. 

Collectors know how these white covers are so easily susceptible to heavy dirtwear from just sitting on the shelf.  Not this one.  Remarkably, there is only a light detection of dirtwear on both sides.  Has very light ringwear on both sides as well, but not bad at all!

Top seams have shelfwear and cracked slick, but no splits.  Bottom seams have light shelfwear.  Just a few pock marks, no cracked slick or splits.

The spine has the trouble.  The slick is cracked all the way down on the backside, and there is a split just over an inch long.

Gatefold--- VG+.  Has moderate yellowing around the edges, and the center seam has the same split just over an inch long.

Poster--- VG++.  Just a shade off Excellent, due to some light to moderate yellowing of the edges.  Full gloss.  VERY few finger divots from handling, which is a treat with these posters.  NO SPLITS. 

Photos--- EX all four.  This was the first pressing to use the paper stock photos.  Each has maybe one moderate finger divot from handling.  Backs have yellowed, and some have smudges.

Labels--- EX/EX.  EX/EX.  Bright Apple labels look beautiful.  Tilt them toward a strong light source to see some very short and light spindle marks per side.  Under normal light, all four labels present NM.

Apple Inner Sleeves--- VG++. Generic white inner sleeves with die-cut holes for the labels to show are present.  Apart from some light yellowing, the sleeves are still in good condition.  One of the four windows has one or two very small tears.  NO SEAM SPLITS.

Generic inner sleeves will be provided, so as not to damage your original Apple inner sleeves en route.

RIAA: N/A

**Supernice copy of one of the hardest “All Rights Reserved” variations for the White Album.  If this constitutes your keeper, don’t miss it.  You’ll kick yourself stupid for decades.  You know you will.**

As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up.  Thanks!)

Note:  All LP’s ship outside of their album covers in order not to damage the covers during shipment.

CAUTION!  There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids.  A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.

Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!

(Please note:  Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized.  The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle.  Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix?  Thanks!)
