Beatles White Album Top opening gatefold Mono with Unique variation, Brasilian

$

26

Up for auction is my copy of a very unusual Beatles LP: An early top opening gatefold mono copy of this collectible version but with a unique variation:  Side 4 of the album has speed variations in several of the songs. Most noteable perhaps is the unique variation during the song "Revolution". It adds a distinct otherworldly flavor to the song, perhaps fitting for a recording from the 60's era! I have never come across anything remotely like this is all my years of collecting Beatles records and this one is pressed  in Brazil!  Anyone savvy enough to be searching for a White Album top opening gatefold mono pressing may find this fascinating and collectible for it's variation on the norm.  You may never ever come across another one like this! Is this the most collectible Beatle record ever? 
The glossy white color is in good condition, with discoloration due to age.  There are no rips on the cover and the spine looks very good with no rips or edge wear. The top opening edges of the gatefold show modest wear. This album has been well cared for.  The record number on the spine is BTX 1005/06. "The Beatles" title is embossed(raised) on the front cover. There is no serial number. I guess they didn't do that in Brazil. How do I know this  was produced in Brazil? I purchased it from a man in South America and he claimed he purchased it there. Good enough for me! Well, it doesn't hurt that the Spanish writing on the circumference of the label says "Brasileira"!
The lp's play well and I would rate them a solid VG+ for both modest surface noise during play and overall good appearance.  Spindle wear is minimal, quite in line with the very good condition of the surfaces. The song titles on the Apple labels are in English yet the side identifications are in Spanish, ie "Lado 4) The label states "Orquestracoes de George Martin" and "An E. M. I Recording".  As mentioned, the green cursive writing around the circumference of the 4 labels is in Spanish also. 
Winning bidder must pay for this item within 48 hours. NO RESERVE. Media mail shipping to the continental US is $4.00.  Shipping to Europe will be higher, please contact me for a quote. Please send me an email with any questions. Thank you.

Note: This variation in speed on side 4 of this LP may not  have been intentional- it could simply have been a problem with the transfer to the LP.  I am not really sure how it turned out this way! You may or may not like the effect of it sounding slower than it should. Nonetheless this is a very collectible and early Brazilian pressing of this monumental album.  The year 1969 appears on the LP labels, indicating perhaps that this was pressed in 1969.
