RARE The Beatles “White Album”
UK MONO 1968 • Numbered Top-Loader • PMC 7067 / PMC 7068
Early -1 Matrix Pressing • No. 0208446 • Original Black Inners
A True Piece of Beatles History
This is a highly collectable early UK mono pressing of The Beatles – The Beatles, known worldwide as the legendary White Album. Released in 1968, this double album remains one of the most important, daring and loved records in popular music history.
Early UK mono copies are especially sought after by collectors because they represent the album in its original British form: dedicated mono mix, Apple labels, numbered top-opening sleeve and early matrix details. This copy has the numbered sleeve No. 0208446 and early UK mono matrix numbers visible in the runouts, including XEX 709-1, XEX 710-1, XEX 711-1 and XEX 712-1 style early matrix information.
This is not only a record for listening — it is a genuine vintage artefact, a copy with age, character, history and the feeling of an album that has truly been loved.
Item Details
Artist The Beatles Album The Beatles / White Album Format 2 x Vinyl LP Country United Kingdom Year 1968 Label Apple Records Catalogue No. PMC 7067 / PMC 7068 Audio Mono Sleeve Original UK numbered top-loader, No. 0208446 Matrix / Runout XEX 709-1 / XEX 710-1 / XEX 711-1 / XEX 712-1 style early UK mono matrices Includes Original black inner sleeves as shown in the photosVinyl Condition: VG
The vinyl is graded VG (Very Good). The records have clearly been used and loved over the years. There are visible signs of play, including light scratches, scuffs, hairlines and many micro-scratches. Many of these marks are mainly noticeable under strong angled light and macro photography, but there are also several deeper scratches present.
Playback on my turntable is generally normal and enjoyable with a vintage character. There may be some background noise, occasional crackle and clicks, as expected from a well-loved original 1968 copy. On two songs I noticed slight skips/jumps. This is clearly mentioned for honesty.
For me, this does not remove the soul of the record — it tells the story of how much this album was played, loved and lived with. The sound still carries the magic and atmosphere of the original UK mono pressing, but please understand this is not a near mint archive copy.
Sleeve Condition: VG
The original numbered top-loader sleeve is graded VG (Very Good). It remains presentable for its age, but shows honest vintage wear: rubbing, yellowing, laminate marks, creasing, edge wear, corner wear and general signs of handling and storage.
The embossed “The Beatles” title and the number No. 0208446 are visible. The black inner sleeves are included and show age-related creasing and wear. Please inspect all photos carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
Important Collector Note
This is a RARE UK mono numbered White Album with desirable early matrix information. Collectors value this pressing for its original 1968 mono sound, top-opening numbered sleeve, Apple labels, black inner sleeves and early -1 matrix cuts.
Please view all photos carefully. If you would like more photos before buying, please message me — I will gladly provide them.
