THE BEATLES -
"WHITE ALBUM" UK 1st Press with number
Original UK First Day issue. This is the original TOP loading gatefold album!! No. 0345143
This auction is for a LOW numbered original UK 1st Press "The Beatles" double album complete with photos of all four and a poster. The original black inner sleeves are also present. It is these days really hard to find numbered TOP loaders at all. This one is numbered below 400,000!!!
The absolute rarity of this limited album is not to be underestimated. It hardly ever surfaces nowadays. These are absolutely gorgeous slabs of early quality APPLE vinyl which are both in great condition!! They have a lovely deep glossy sheen!! Hauntingly beautiful songcraft!!! Immense quality psych double album that ticks all the right boxes and incredibly hard to find as a first press.
You won't easily find this ultra rare LP !!! It is a genuinely very scarce item that will shoot up in price, most of these have now been included in Beatles collections and for a safe investment.
Excellent original UK album!!
the surfaces display blazing factory-fresh gloss. The audio is supreme, no clicks, no jumps etc.!!!
Gatefold sleeve: VG+ to EX. A toploader of course indicating the very First Press sleeve. Later ones were sideloaders. Lovely straight sleeve with only miniscule and tiny underlaminate creases near the opening at the top. Top fully 100% readable straight spine and sharp edges. Light age related yellowing not at all bad. It would be impossible to find a brilliant white one. Let's just call it a vintage "patina"!
Vinyls: VG to VG+. A few hairlines here and there and a mark on side two but none of these are audible and these vinyls are over average really. These are both lovely vinyls that play just great! Light staic can be heard at times. NO skips, jumps or clicks.
Poster: VG. Has a few splits on the seams but hey, at least it's still there. Lyrics to the back.
Inner Sleeves. The original black inner sleeves are still there although there are some seamsplits.
Photos: All four are there in EX condition.
***This is a unique prime investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible!!! This is a great and seriously collectable super album!! You will buy into a piece of music history that is hard to find this late in the day.***
Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 45.00. These fees in England have gone up significantly last May. Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me. Please understand that this is quite a heavy package with two very heavy vinyls. I do protect the package with extra stiffeners increasing the weight even more. This will be reflected in the P&P price.
Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly! PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again!!
