Description
White Album 1st pressing from 1968 on the UK Apple label. Matrix -1/-1/-2/-1. Both LP's hold the 'Sold In The UK Subject..' statement confirming 1st issue. The records come housed in an original top loading gatefold cover. There are black inner sleeves, but not the original ones. The original lyric sheet is present, but there are no photos.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex/Vg+/Vg+) A beautifully preserved original White Album which remains in superb condition. I would say these Lp's have seen light to moderate use. Under close inspection there are a couple of light marks on each side - and on the final side a few longer lines, but nothing feelable or troublesome. So please take on board that this is certainly not a mint record. It has, however, survived the years much better than most original copies. And this is borne out by a thorough testing from beginning to end which reveals an EXCELLENT level of playback with a couple of deviations. Intros and inbetweens are nice and quiet. The audio comes across with great clarity and only light occasional interference. Please note there is a mark which causes a few ticks toward the end of 'Helter Skelter ' and a bit of crackle in 'Honey Pie' [hence the Vg+]. But overall playback is of a high standard which is a testament to the quality of these early pressings and the fact that it hasn't been used and abused. Original copies of the White Album are the de facto go to copy for best audio and this copy does not disappoint. It's a real nice copy...
Cover (Vg+) Remains in great condition with a shiny front and back with only light ageing apparent. A couple of light marks to the surface, but nothing obvious or unsightly. Overall it retains excellent rigidity and is still a superb specimen.
Lyric Sheet - (Vg+) Light ageing. Couple of seam splits - nothing major though.
Any purchase is guaranteed to get to you quickly, safely, and with total satisfaction, or your money back.
