The Beatles Album
(White Album)
Number #0526472
This is an original Beatles (WHITE) Album recorded in England in 1968.....The Beatles was the first Beatles' album released by Apple Records, as well as their only original double album......
The Beatles name is embossed (re-issues were grey print) slightly below the middle of the album's right side, and the cover also featured a unique stamped serial number - This particular album has a very low number #0526472 because over 3 million were originally numbered...
Included, is the large poster, and the four photos of John, Paul, George, and Ringo...
The records, the cover jacket, the complete rare photo collection and LP sleeves are in near mint condition.... really is a credit to how well looked after this vintage piece of musical history has been. Surely one of the best examples of its kind.
In 1997, The Beatles was named the 10th greatest album of all time in a 'Music of the Millennium' poll conducted by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM. In 1998, Q magazine readers placed it at number 17, while in 2000 the same magazine placed it at number 7 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.
In 2001, the TV network VH1 named it as the 11th greatest album ever.
It was ranked number 10 in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time in 2003.
In 2006, the album was chosen by Time Magazine as one of the 100 best albums of all time.
On the 40th anniversary of the album's release the Vatican issued an unusual review of the album. The official Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, published a lengthy article which declared that "Forty years later, this album remains a type of magical musical anthology: 30 songs you can go through and listen to at will, certain of finding some pearls that even today remain unparalleled."Forgiving John Lennon's "more popular than Jesus" remark, the paper called the White Album the "creative summit" of the Beatles' career, comparing it favorably to contemporary music and taking note of the now antiquated equipment used, concluding that "a listening experience like that offered by the Beatles is truly rare."
The album was a major commercial success, spending a total of eight weeks at #1 in the UK (the first week being that of December 7, 1968), and nine weeks at #1 in the United States (the first week being that of December 28, 1968).
