Description
An original 1st pressing of the White Album on the UK Apple label from 1968. Matrix 1/1/1/1. Stampers 1A-6PD/1A-7OP. Please note all labels hold the 'subject to resale in the UK' statement and none hold the EMI statement - this is indicative of the very very 1st iteration of the White Album. The tax code 'KT' is visible on the Side 4 label. The heavy set vinyl comes housed in an original top-loading gatefold cover printed by Garrod & Lofthouse and is numbered "0101086". We have all four original high quality photos. We have one original lyric sheet. And two original black inner sleeves. And to top it all this copy is preserved to a high standard...which is by no means an easy feat.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) In very nice condition and it really is a treat to see one of these early copies in such fine form. Under close inspection we could only make out a few light marks - nothing troublesome though. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an, at least, EXCELLENT level of playback for the most part. Intros and inbetweens are nice and quiet and the audio comes across with great clarity and minimal interference. The mono on these early copies just delivers in every way and keeps on delivering! Audio reproduction is really nice with perfect tonal balance and bags of detail. Interference is only vaguely noticeable in Prudence, Julia, & Long. And even this is just a touch of light static - nothing remotely invasive. Other than that we detected very little at all. It really is a super little player and will leave you begging for more!
Cover (Vg+) Please note the cover is exhibiting a bit of ageing now - but this is almost inevitable on these early white covers. What makes this copy standout is the integrity of the cover. There's no writing marks, tears, or bends. It retains all of its original rigidity. Edge wear is reasonably light. A terrific example.
Photos (Ex+) The quality on these original photo is superb. Proper photo quality paper. Contrast and detail in the shots - superb. Faultless!
Lyric Sheet (Ex) This often ends up a bit aged or with splits. There are no splits on this example and the paper hasn't aged either. Just one 1c.m. tear. It most certainly has never seen a wall.
Black Inners (Vg) A couple of side splits - one which is three inches long.
Any purchase is guaranteed to get to you quickly, safely, and with total satisfaction, or your money back.
