The Beatles White Album
UK Pressing Mono 1968
* KT Tax stamp on Side 4 ( early press )
Here is your chance to own an original UK vinyl mono copy of the Beatles " White Album " . For most of the Beatles career mono was the standard and the stereo mix was something that was done as an afterthought. The band ( and the producers and engineers ) worked to get the mono mix just perfect and they would throw together the stereo mix rather quickly , sometimes in a very experimental fashion ( as stereo was still very new ) But by 1968 mono was getting phased out and the White Album was their final album released in mono.
*** most notable difference between MONO & STEREO - Clapton's guitar Gently Weeps
also : The bird sound effects in Blackbird
Airplane sound in Back in the USSR
Mono version much faster in Don't pass me by
Paul's " Oh yeah" in mono only in Glass onion
Mono version more compressed and distorted ( sounds better ! ) in Revolution 1 ....
ETC

No. 0173472

Overall a great listen, fully play tested. No skips, pops. No overwhelming crackling like on some other copies we've come across . It's worth every penny and could be your keeper ~
