Description
THE BEATLES
WHITE ALBUM
1ST STEREO UK PRESSING ON THE APPLE LABEL. 'Mfd. in U.K.' AND 'Sold IN U.K.....' LABEL TEXT. LAMINATED GATEFOLD TOP OPENING SLEEVE. EMBOSSED 'THE BEATLES' FRONT AND STAMPED WITH No. 0320500
NO INSERTS WITH THIS COPY (THOUGH THEY ARE NOT PARTICULARLY RARE HAVING ACCOMPANIED EVERY RE-ISSUE)
THE VINYL SURFACES HAVE NUMEROUS LIGHT MARKS OF WHICH ONLY A COUPLE OF SMALL ONES CAN BE FELT. THE RECORD PLAYS THROUGH FINE, WITH NO SKIPS OR CATCHES/STICKING.
THERE IS CRACKLING/SURFACE NOISE WHICH IS MOSTLY NOTICABLE IN BETWEEN SONGS. ONCE MOST OF THE SONGS KICK IN, THIS CAN'T REALLY BE HEARD TOO MUCH. SIDE ONE - CRACKLING BETWEEN SONGS, AND CAN BE HEARD DURING QUIETER MOMENTS. SIDE TWO - A FEW LIGHT POPS, AND CRACKLING IN QUIETER MOMENTS. SURFACE NOISE CAN BE HEARD DURING 'BLACKBIRD' AND 'JULIA' IN PARTICULAR. SIDE THREE - SURFACE NOISE BETWEEN SONGS AND IN QUIETER MOMENTS, SOME CLICKS DURING 'YER BLUES'. SIDE 4 - PROBABLY THE BEST SOUNDING SIDE, STILL SOME SURFACE NOISE BUT DOESN'T SPOIL THE ENJOYMENT OF 'REVOLUTION 9'.
THE SLEEVE HAS SOME WEAR AT THE EDGES AND SPINE, THOUGH THE ALBUM TITLE CAN STILL BE READ. THE WHITE LAMINATE HAS ACCRUED A LITTLE DIRT OVER THE YEARS, BUT THE SLEEVE IS INTACT WITH NO SPLITS, TEARS OR MAJOR DAMAGE.
1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS ALBUM IN TOP CONDITION CAN COMMAND HIGH PRICES. THIS IS NOT THE BEST COPY, BUT IT PLAYS FINE AND IS NOT THE WORST I'VE SEEN.
LOW START PRICE TO SELL.
PCS 7067/8 - APPLE 1968
POSTAGE: I always combine postage for purchase of more than one item. I also post at cost. For UK buyers I use tracked 48 with the Royal Mail (so if you require shipping updates please message me your email). Once packaging costs have been added in (as well as the fact that ebay take a slice of the shipping payment) then I just about break even.
OVERSEAS BIDDERS: Please note for overseas shipping I use ebay's Global Shipping Program, so I am not in control of their charges. I only receive the UK postage fee, which I am happy to combine for multiple purchases.
PACKAGING: Whether it's a £2 record or a £200 record I always pack with the same care. All records will be shipped in a plastic sleeve, with the vinyl removed from the record sleeve (and also the inner if it's a picture/lyric inner), and will be sent in proper record mailers with appropriate stiffeners.
(Please note I am not a dealer, these records are from my own extensive collection which I am scaling down due to lack of space. I will endeavour to describe condition etc. to the best of my ability, but if you have any questions please ask)
