Description

   It is a VERY rare Low number   A 0000449 It is very hard to find one this low anymore  449 th one printed    Great collectors item   ask any questions you wish  This will only go up in value  records say printed in UK but it was printed in India  only a few went out till they discovered mistake and then put made in India on the rest

A few unique things about this item:
Firstly, these records retains the original shine with a fair number of very light marks plus some light marks  grading by sight in normal room light.  I'm sure if you took these and put them under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes them less than mint.  If you're that kind of collector, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

I don't claim these records are mint.   I took the time to play both records and found the 30 tracks to audibly average about 3/4 of the way between VG and VG+ with a fair amount of very light surface noise and very light to light pops, a few scattered heavy pops.  It's got some character, not mint by any means.  You can assign your own grade based on my comments on what I heard and the GRADING SCALE BELOW!.     

Keep in mind how it plays for me may differ than how it plays for you based on differences in audio equipment. 


The blank sheet is what is called a spacer Only some of the very early prints had this and they stopped adding it after a short time  This item also came with a blank sheet with the photos.

Thirdly, there is a written name on the inside of this gatefold cover (it opens up), the signature is "Eddie Anderson."  


So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price.  Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!   

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

Please e-mail if questions.


I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s). 

Here is a summary of the record(s):

Artist: The Beatles Title: White Album Record: Black vinyl with the original shine with a fair number of very light marks plus some light marks  grading by sight in normal room light.    Labels: Green apple side 1, red apple side 2.   No stickers, no pen/pencil marks, some spindle marks. Trailing wax: Side 1: "YEX 709-1 G".  Side 2: "YEX 710 1 G". Inner sleeve(s): Two generic inner sleeves will be provided. Cover: Very worn.  Records exit from the top.  Left sides are completely split.  Back right side is completely unglued.  One edge on the front and one edge on the back are tattered.  One edge on the back has a 1" x 1/2" open tear (see scan). Corners heavily worn, a few creased tips.  A name on the inside "Eddie Anderson", this may be significant (see scan)(see above info).  No stickers.  Moderate/heavy general/ring wear.  Rate the cover G to VG.  You can assign your own grade based on my comments. Comments: 6/29/19: I took the time to play both records and found the 30 tracks to audibly average about 3/4 of the way between VG and VG+ with a fair amount of very light surface noise and very light to light pops, a few scattered heavy pops.  It's got some character, not mint by any means.   You can  assign your own grade based on my comments on what I heard and the GRADING SCALE SHOWN!.   A good addition to your LP collection.

Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

  • NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
  • 3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise
  • 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops
  • VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)
  • VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise
  • G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise
