The Beatles [White Album] (Vinyl, LP, Album, Remastered, Mono) This is how most listeners first heard the group in the 1960s, when mono was the predominant audio format. Up until 1968, each Beatles album was given a unique mono and stereo mix, but the group always regarded the mono as primary. THE BEATLES [WHITE ALBUM] is released in mono on 180-gram vinyl with faithfully replicated artwork, newly mastered from the analogue master tapes.

Description

The Beatles [White Album]
(Vinyl, LP, Album, Remastered, Mono)

Add me to your Favorite Sellers

In an audiophile-minded undertaking, The Beatles' acclaimed mono albums have been newly mastered for vinyl from quarter-inch master tapes at Abbey Road Studios by GRAMMY®-winning engineer Sean Magee and GRAMMY®-winning mastering supervisor Steve Berkowitz. While THE BEATLES IN MONO CD boxed set released in 2009 was created from digital remasters, for this new vinyl project, Magee and Berkowitz cut the records without using any digital technology. Instead, they employed the same procedures used in the 1960s, guided by the original albums and by detailed transfer notes made by the original cutting engineers. 
 
Working in the same room at Abbey Road where most of The Beatles' albums were initially cut, the pair first dedicated weeks to concentrated listening, fastidiously comparing the master tapes with first pressings of the mono records made in the 1960s. Using a rigorously tested Studer A80 machine to play back the precious tapes, the new vinyl was cut on a 1980s-era VMS80 lathe. 
 
Manufactured for the world at Optimal Media in Germany, The Beatles' albums are presented in their original glory, both sonically and in their packaging.

Mint [M]: Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed.
(More on still sealed below). Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.
 
*Near Mint [NM or M-]: A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than
this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no
obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as
almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cutout
holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric
sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record
store and removed the shrink wrap.
 
*Many dealers have added an additional conservative grade of[NM-], [E] or [VG++]to this
guide to describe just under [NM] or "almost [NM] perfect with a few minor flaws". - Rarebro
Records
 
Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a
previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of
wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening
experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The
center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have
some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight
signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was
taken out of print and sold at a discount.
In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the
most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
 
Very Good [VG]: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG
disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's
intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be
noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the
sound.
Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same
will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at
the same time, only two or three of them.
 
Good [G], Good Plus [G+]: Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus
condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have
significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.
A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring
wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably
find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But if it's something you have been
seeking for years, and the price is right, get it.
Poor [P], Fair [F]: The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping
or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily
marred by wear and/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are
fully seam split, and written upon.
Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should
be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
Still Sealed [SS] : Let the buyer beware, unless it's a U.S. pressing from the last 10-15 years or
so. It's too easy to reseal on. Yes, some legitimately never-opened LPs from the 1960s still
exist. But if you're looking for a specific pressing, the only way you can know for sure is to
open the record. Also, European imports are not factory-sealed, so if you see them
advertised as sealed, someone other than the manufacturer sealed them.
