Up for auction is The Beatles "The White Album" true first US press Capitol Records Apple label SWBO-101 showing all 7 errors on the labels and the triangle in the deadwax. This album comes with all inserts. The poster has about 20% separation along the middle seam and some underlining in pen of the lyrics on the back side. It is fragile. Not much though. The 4 pics are in great shape. The records I will give a "novice" grade estimate per side as well as for the album cover.

The Records-
Side 1: Deadwax reads SWBO 1-101-A28. This side probably grades at VG-. It has a lot of surface lines and rubs with only one 1" line running through track 7 & 8 I can feel with my fingertip. It will play through but you will have noise. A good cleaning would probably make a case for a strong VG.

Side 2: Deadwax reads SWBO 2-101-B and what looks like a 27. It probably grades a GD+. Again same small lines and paper scuffs. Album needs good cleaning. It has one 1" scratch through track 1&2. Also one worn groove in track 7. This should play through with some pops and noise.

Side 3: Deadwax reads SWBO 3-101-A28. This side grades a VG- to VG with lots of lines and scuffs. 2 light scratches that cannot be felt. Needs to be cleaned.

Side 4: Dead wax reads SWBO 4-101-B29. Lots od superficial lines and rubs that cannot be felt. Again VG- to Vg.

I am certain a good cleaning will help all 4 side. Overall VG-.

The Album Cover: #'d A1499812

The album cover probably grades an overall GD condition. The seams on top and bottom have split and been taped together. The cover has some staining from dirt and dust over the years but still has some gloss. Some record ring. The inside seam on the gatefold is strong but has a small separation on the inside. The spine is actually still pretty strong with the lettering clearly visible. It does have a 2" split in middle but it hasn't lost paper. Paper rub above stereo on back and no writing.

The 7 errors can be seen on the labels themselves. They are as follows:
Side 1:
1. OBLADI OBLADA instead of OB-LA-DI  OB-LA-DA. 
2. BUNGALOW BILL instead of THE CONTINUING STORY OF BUNGALOW BILL. 

Side 2:
3. ROCKY RACOON  instead of ROCKY RACCOON. 
4. WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD ( Without a question mark following the title.) 

Side 4:
5. REVOLUTION NO. 1 instead of REVOLUTION 1. 
 6. REVOLUTION NO. 9  instead of REVOLUTION 9. 
  7. GOODNIGHT instead of GOOD NIGHT.

Now with all that being said here is an opportunity for you to own this rare first pressing with all inserts & records that will play all the way through. Regardless of condition this record is a must have.
