Apple Records "THE BEATLES" 
This is an original 1st pressing of The Beatles album (White Album) with 4 song title spelling errors on the label. 
SO WHAT IS A "4 ERRORS" COPY OF THE WHITE ALBUM??
The story goes that in the fall of 1968, shortly after the White Album was released, John Lennon was given a copy of the US edition and flagged SEVEN ERRORS he found in the song titles. The labels on all US pressings were amended very quickly afterwards but in this early copy the first disc (Side 1 and Side 2) retains FOUR of these errors.

They are, as follows: Side 1: Obladi Oblada (As opposed to: Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da) 
Side 1: Bungalow Bill (As opposed to: The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill) 
Side 2: Rocky Racoon (As opposed to: Rocky Raccoon)
Side 2: Why Don’t We Do it in the Road (As opposed to: Why Don’t We Do it in the Road?) 


Laminated vintage white cover with an embossed 'The Beatles' on the front, 'Stereo' at the top right corner of the back cover and 'The Beatles Stereo SWBO 101' on the spine. The gatefold cover contains a serial A1941076 number stamp at the bottom right corner. 

The cover retains a lot of its glossy white laminated surface front and back but there is wear and some tearing at the creases top and bottom. The 4 glossy portrait style photos of the band members, containing the "Printed in U.S.A" stamp on the white border at the bottom left of each photo, are in EX condition, but the original poster has been taped together and is only included here to complete the set. You might want to upgrade the poster.
