Description
The Beatles – The White Album (1969 UK Mono Apple, No Number, Complete Set)
For sale is a verified 1969 UK mono pressing of The Beatles (White Album), cut from the original EMI mono stampers and issued with Apple labels. This edition features the original 1968 mono mix, known for its distinct soundstage and band-approved mixes that differ from the stereo version.
This pressing includes all four pearl-finish portraits, the original fold-out poster with lyrics, and the vinyl remains exceptionally clean and glossy, with no visible scuffs or scratches. The gatefold cover is embossed, with no serial number, consistent with later mono issues from this limited UK mono production run.

Label: Apple Records

Matrix Numbers (machine-stamped):
XEX 709-2 / XEX 710-2 / XEX 711-4 / XEX 712-2
These mono lacquer cuts confirm the authenticity of this pressing as part of the original 1969 UK mono release. The Side 3 “-4” cut is a known and documented recut, done during the tail end of mono production, and does not affect collectibility or audio fidelity. -
Cover: Embossed gatefold with The Beatles logo and mono designation, no serial number
-
Inserts:
-
All four original pearl-finish portraits
-
Original fold-out poster with lyrics
-
Two white inner sleeves present, printed with EMI patent and date codes:
-
11/80 (November 1980)
-
5/81 (May 1981)
-
-
Note: These inner sleeves are EMI replacements from 1980 and 1981, not the original 1968–69 black inners. This is common for Beatles albums stored, re-sleeved, or inherited over time and does not affect the authenticity or value of the pressing.
This is a true 1969 UK mono pressing, not a 1981 reissue. It was pressed using original 1968 mono metalwork and features the authentic mono mix personally overseen by The Beatles. Unnumbered mono UK copies with clean vinyl and complete inserts are increasingly rare, especially in collector-grade condition.
