Description
The Beatles or "The White album" as it became better known was released on 22nd November, 1968 on the fifth anniversary of their second album, With The Beatles. A total of 34 new tracks were released in 1968 and 30 were contained on this one double-LP.
The double wallet merely had words The BEATLES embossed on the front cover. Early copies also had a individual number stamped on the front.
The Beatles was the group's first album to appear on the Apple label. The change from Parlophone to Apple had first taken place with the release of the "Hey Jude" single in August, 1968.
Despite the fact that it was a double album it entered the UK chart at no. 1 and occupied that position for eight of the 22 weeks it spent in the chart. The US situation was even more impressive with a nine week stay in the top spot during an initial chart run of 65 weeks.
This LP unfortunately doesn’t include the photos that originally came with it. My mum says she must have thrown them away.
The vinyl serial numbers are PMC 7067 and PMC 7068. There are a couple of scratches on the vinyl but when I played it on my turntable there was no problem.
