Description
THE BEATLES - SELF TITLED (AKA THE WHITE ALBUM). UK MONO issue 2LP set released in 1968. This is the first issue with the top opening Garrod & Lofthouse laminated gatefold sleeve. Includes the original lyric poster, 4 band photo inserts and original black inner sleeves.
The Beatles (White Album) was the last Beatles album to be released with a unique, alternate mono mix, albeit one issued only in the UK. Twenty-nine of the album's thirty tracks ("Revolution 9" being the only exception) exist in official alternate mono mixes.
Beatles' albums after The Beatles (except Yellow Submarine in the UK) occasionally had mono pressings in certain countries (such as Brazil), but these editions – of Yellow Submarine, Let It Be, and Abbey Road – were in each case mono fold-downs from the regular stereo mixes.
In the U.S., mono records were already being phased out; the U.S. release of The Beatles was the first Beatles LP to be issued in the U.S. in stereo only.
