1ST EVER UK PRESS NOTES:

Initial numbered edition with top opening G & L gatefold sleeve, black inners, poster & 4 colour prints, dark green Apple labels with Ⓟ & "Sold In The UK...." text. This was released in error omitting the text 'E.M.I. Recording' on the label, so a second version The Beatles was promptly released with the corrected labels.
Eric Clapton uncredited on A7 for contractual reasons.

CONDITION 

BOTH RECORDS ARE NEAR MINT  EVEN AFTER 66 YEARS , AMAZING CONDITION !  LOVELY WITH A DEEP GLOSSY LIKE NEW RAINBOW SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WHICH ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT. OBVIOUSLY PLAYED VERY RARELY SINCE RELEASE IN 1967 SUPERB EXAMPLE !!!

I CAN ONLY SEE ONE  FEINT SLEEVE RUB REMOVAL MARK - NOT AT ALL FEELABLE, (ON SIDE 1 TRACK 1/2 ) THATS IT !! ACROSS ALL 4  SIDES !!!!  PURELY COSMETIC AND ONLY SEEN WHEN VINYL IS TILTED, UNDER A STRONG LIGHT, ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT AT ALL ON A SUPERB AUDIO PLAYBACK (SEE PICS)

ALL 4 FIRST EVER PRESS APPLE CENTRE LABELS ( ALL WITH THE MISPRINT OMITTING "AN EMI RECORDING" ) ARE ALSO NEAR MINT AND IN SUPERB CONDITION (SEE PICS) WITH JUST A COUPLE OF FEINT SPINDLE MARKS CONFINED TO THE DISC CENTRE , CONFIRMING POSSIBLY 3/4 VISITS TO THE TURNTABLE IN 66 YEARS ! AMAZING !!  

THEREFORE OBVIOUSLY , A GREAT AUDIO EXPERIENCE WHEN PLAYTESTED ON MY REGA TURNTABLE, A LOVELY PLAYBACK !!!

The condition of the FIRST PRESS TOP OPENING Laminated Outer Gatefold Sleeve is EXCELLENT +

A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY LOW NUMBERED 0067353 SLEEVE

A REALLY LOVELY & CLEAN EXAMPLE OF THIS NOTORIOUSLY HARD TO KEEP CLEAN SLEEVE !!

RARE TO FIND THIS WHITE LAMINATED SLEEVE IN THIS LOVELY CONDITION

( SEE PICTURES)

No unwanted writing or doodles anywhere, and no cardboard creasing either. The top opening edges are firm with minimal fraying ,the spine is fully intact, with just a small edge rub only,

  "The BEATLES" remains beautifully embossed upon the front cover, and the interior flip-backs remain in great shape. The whole gatefold has a lovely glossy feel and sheen about it and remains in amazing condition after 66 years - A VERY NICE condition overall. 

DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BETTER WHITE ALBUM SLEEVES I HAVE SEEN !!!

THE  ORIGINAL BLACK INNER SLEEVES, WITH CURVED CORNERS & ONE HOLE ONLY,  ARE EXCELLENT WITH SOME FRAYING TO OPENING EDGES BUT NO SIDE OR BOTTOM SPLITS, OR RIPS, LOVELY !!

A REALLY LOVELY CLEAN EXAMPLE OVERALL !! SEE ALL PICS

SO, IN CONCLUSION, NOT ONLY A MUCH SOUGHT AFTER RECORD IN ANY CONDITION, BUT BOTH VINYLS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION !! AND A SUPER CONDITION UK 1968 FIRST EVER PRESS, COMPLETE WITH ALL COMPONENTS IS SO DIFFICULT TO FIND !!!

A "must" for any serious Beatles vinyl collection and always continues to gain in value. Regarded as a Holy Grail like this !!
