Embossed and Super Low numbered A 0349519 Original 1968 U.S. Scranton PA first pressing of The Beatles 'White Album'. This is the rare and highly sought after pressing containing all 7 rare label errors. Upon release of the album, John Lennon noticed these mistakes and had them corrected immediately on future pressings, but not before some of these extremely rare error copies had already entered the marketplace. The cover is NM/M beautiful front, back, inside and out. NO seam splits, NO writing, NO stickers, NO glue residue, NO rips/tears, NO stains, NO pen/marker marks, and *MINT* inner/outer spines !! The spindle holes are mint pristine flawless. The very early 1968 Original inner sleeves with NO cut-out label center, are beautiful. One of the nicest 7-error, mint LP, complete sets I've ever offered for sale !!!
The records are EX/NM and very glossy !! Hard to believe it's now over 52 years old, as this is one of the Earliest US White Albums know to exist today. Labels are absolutely *MINT* stunning with NO writing, NO tears and NO fading. The inner and outer spines are near perfect. There are NO seam splits, and NO writing. NO WRITING on any of the record labels, and NO WRITING on the front cover, back or inside gatefold. The original inner sleeves are very nice, and it will arrive with all 4 color *MINT* heavy stock portrait photos and NM Original poster with lyrics with NO pin holes.
A machine stamped ? triangle with the initials IAM indicates that the records was pressed at the Scranton, Pennsylvania plant. 'IAM' stood for the International Association of Machinists union whose members worked at the Scranton plant. These extremely rare 7 label error BEATLES White Albums are being hoarded, especially overseas, and disappearing for sale.
One day soon, you'll say to yourself..."I wish I would have bought that one" !!
Few White Albums are perfect, but this one is as close as you'll find. The cardboard used in the making of The White Album was extremely poor and susceptible to the seams easily separating and the spines just disintegrating. Most of you who look to buy these treasures know that 99% of White Albums in circulation are weak at best. This is your chance to purchase one of the nicest, as the cover is stunning which is so very rare to find, some 52 years later.
ALL the photos you see above are completely undoctored and free from any photoshop, and are of the EXACT treasures you will receive !! You really don't want to miss this one, as NM White Albums with these rare 7 errors, EX/NM glossy LPs, insanely low number A 0349519, amazing stunning cover with no seam splits, with all 4 Mint Original thick heavy-stock photos plus NM Original poster rarely come along ! Don't miss out on this one as this is absolutely spectacular !

Here's very invaluable information on how The Beatles White Albums were numbered, and the meaning behind all the sequences...
The first 25 White Albums were numbered with an 'A' prefix and then a series of zeros preceding the number (e.g. A0000009). There are always seven digits following the 'A' so if it was a single digit number it would be preceded by six zeroes or if it was a two digit number it would be preceded by five zeroes. It is not known what the 'A' was indicative of (it may mean 'printed in America' or 'Apple' but neither is confirmed).
Numbers 26-99 were three digit numbers preceded with a zero and no prefix.
Numbers 100 through approximately 209,999 were preceded with the correct number of zeroes to make them a seven digit number (with no letter prefix)
Beginning around 210,000 to up near 590,000, they were preceded by a zero and had an 'A' prefix.
Later copies up to about 1,350,000 remain at seven digits using a leading zero if necessary and are prefixed with a large dot.
The next batch from 1,350,000 up to some point past 2,000,000 are prefixed with an 'A' but it's a thinner 'A' than used earlier.
From 2,000,000 to around 2,250,000 some are prefixed with a large dot and some with the 'A'
From 2,250,000 up to 3,000,000 the numbers are prefixed with the abbreviation for number (i.e. No.) On some of these the 'o' in 'No.' is raised with the period below it instead of beside it.
For the final numbers over 3,000,000 the numbers are prefixed with a wide 'A'
