Description
This is the rarer Mono mix of The Beatles White Album PMC 7067-8 as released on 22 November 1968 Numbered 0070206 Laminated Sleeve top opener with dark green labels An EMI recording is missing from the label The Mono mix eliminates the fade out + Ringos scream at the end of Helter Skelter whilst Yer Blues has a longer fade out Rocky Raccoon is spelt correctly with two c`s on this version Harrison + Starrs compositions are credited to Apple Publishing Ltd The Laminated sleeve on this is superb the spine is un-cracked which I have never seen on any copy before The Cover has great shine + is near mint on the photos 2+3 the mark you can see is the light reflecting back off the laminate from my camera ! These Richard Hamilton designed minimalist numbered covers show every mark whenever mishandled There are no spindle marks on any of the Record sides + they still have their manufactured shine to them The records are virtually mint Side 3 has the lightest of dust scratches from being slid in bag when held in strong light Poster + Four Photos have light signs of being handled there are no white spacers. I don`t think the Records have been played much at all because of their condition + the spine of the Record is covered with unbroken Laminate Audio is perfect as you would expect + up until listing this I have only played it twice to check for any sticks of which there were none ! This is my own Record I am the second owner I didn`t buy it new I`ve had it for 10 years + I have been agonising over selling it but because of its condition I never play it ! The time has come for it to go to another good home. I don`t think I`ll ever find another 45 year old White Album in this condition There is no Mono / Stereo designation on the white sleeve just both catalogue numbers on spine The pictures I`ve put on really tell their own story with regard to how well its survived perhaps the original owner was into Jazz or simply didn`t like it ! It did receive a mixed critical response in Nov 1968 when first released although now widely regarded as a masterpiece. In fact now often cited as peoples favourite Beatles Album Own this and I think you will have one of the cleanest 1968 Mono White Albums available Matrix Nos YEX 709-1 YEX 710-1 YEX 711-1 YEX 712-1 Mothers as follows Side One 5 OM Side Two 5 TT Side Three 7 GDL Side Four 2 HR No reserve Posting Immediate Freepost in UK Will post Worldwide Insured in Record Box Rest of World cost is £20
On 24-Nov-13 at 12:18:09 GMT, seller added the following information:The Labels on this Mono White Album are without "An EMI Recording" this was very quickly corrected + this particular label was only used in November 1968.
A very early pressing in Mono that was corrected immediately to include " An EMI Recording " as soon as the mistake was spotted.price rating
