Description

Artist: The Beatles
Title: The Beatles (White Album)
Catalog #: SWBO 101
Label: Apple / Capitol Records
Release Year: 1968
Vinyl: Very Good (VG). Superficial, surface, imperfections (scuffs/hairlines) do not affect playback beyond light background noise. Plays through with no skips. Sounds great! Cleaned in a Klaudio sonic cleaner! 
Jacket: Good Plus (G+). All seams (except one) have fully split. If there is a saving grace, the splits are clean splits with no extra ripping or tearing. Otherwise, light surface, corner and spine wear. Tack and/or staple holes on the poster corners and two of the photos, at the top. See the many photos provided.
Labels: Excellent (EX). Beautiful! Correct, "Capitol Dome" logos, for 1968, at the bottom of sides 2 and 4.
Extras: Original, first-year (1968) pressing. Low serial number (00225054). No prefix letters ("A") or dot before the serial number. Many of the first year label errors (spelling, punctuation). This jacket is adorned with a VERY RARE promotional stamp consisting of 43 individual holes spelling out the word "FREE". These copies were given to Capitol Records employees and radio stations in the Los Angeles area in 1968. The "starburst" (LA) hallmark is in the deadwax. The John and Paul photos, both, have a couple of tack holes while the George and Ringo have no holes yet very light staining and tape marks on the backsides. The poster has several staple holes in each corner. The poster is correct, 1968, glossy front side (photos) and mat finish on the other,back side (lyrics). See all the photos provided.
WARNING: Be aware of sellers trying to pass-off promo items such as LP jackets with single hole-punches, corner-cuts or notch-cuts! These are NOT automatically considered promotional items. They are "CUT-OUTS".  A way for record distributors to signify an unsold item (originally) and later sold, again, to discount markets for resale. It worked that way for decades. Ask ANYONE who EVER worked in a record store. Don't be fooled. Do your homework and, ask for "Promo" proof!
           Any questions, just ask! Pro shipping, with tracking, will be FREE (lower 48) and I ship quickly. International bids are welcome ($23.95 ship...$27.95 for Australia). As usual, no bids will be accepted from France, Italy, Canada and, now, Greece. Also, no "zero" feedback scores will be tolerated. Please help support my artistic endeavors (elvisknievel.com) Good luck and Mahalo, Elvis Knievel
