THE BEATLES
 "WHITE ALBUM" APPLE PCS 7067 / 7068 STEREO PRESSING
VINYL CARRIES THE ORIGINAL -1 MATRICES USED ON THE VERY FIRST 1968 UK PRESSINGS STILL USING THE HEAVIER VINYL JUST BEFORE THE OIL CRISIS THIN VINYL WAS INTRODUCED
AND ALSO USES THE M6 CODE FOR THE FRENCH PRESSING PLANT "PATHE MARCONI EMI CHATOU" FRANCE
RELEASED ORIGINALY 1968 THIS PRESSING FROM 1973 WAS PRESSED IN FRANCE FOR THE UK MARKET WHILE THE HAYES PRESSING PLANT WAS CLOSED BETWEEN 1973 - 1975 FOR A REFIT
THE SLEEVE , POSTER ,  PICTURES AND THE INNER SLEEVES  WERE ALL UK PRODUCED ITEMS AND THEN COMBINED WITH THE FRENCH PRESSED VINYL AND LABELS
IN SOME INSTANCES A STICKER WAS APPLIED TO THE SLEEVE PRINTED  "MADE IN FRANCE"
 WHICH CAN BE SEEN ON THIS COPY
SIDE OPENING EMBOSSED (The BEATLES) RECORD SLEEVE IS UNNUMBERED AT THIS TIME AS TWO PREVIOUS PRODUCTION RUNS HAD UTILISED THIS PROCESS AND AGAIN COST CUTTING WAS THE CHOICE OF MANUFACTURING AT THIS TIME
HOWEVER THE SLEEVE WAS STILL LAMINATED AND INCLUDED THE ORIGINAL POSTER AND THE FOUR COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHS BUT USED THE LATEST EMI INNER SLEEVES
LAMINATED RECORD SLEEVE IS IN NICE CLEAN CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT CREASING AND THE SPINE EDGE STILL CARRIES THE MONO & STEREO NUMBERS
POSTER AND ALL FOUR PHOTOS ARE ALSO IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION AS ARE THE EMI WHITE INNER SLEEVES
VINYL RECORDS ARE AGAIN IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION WITH QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES (WHERE APPLICABLE), LABELS ARE PRISTINE AND CLEAN AND ONE LP STILL RETAINS SOME PRESSING SWARF ,LABELS CARRY THE TEXT "MADE IN FRANCE BY PATHE MARCONI" WITH "MFD IN THE UK"
A TEST PLAY PRODUCED EXCELLENT AUDIO WITH CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUND 
WE DO PLAYTEST ON A SIXTIES HI-FI SYSTEM FOR REVIEW SO WE CAN ONLY COMMENT ON WHAT WE HEAR OTHER SYSTEMS CAN PRODUCED DIFFERENT RESULTS AND PLEASE REMEMBER THIS COPY IS NOW FIFTY YEARS OLD
