THE BEATLES WHITE ALBUM ~ U.K. MONO PRESSING #0514698
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING W/-1 MATRICES
PMC-7067 ~ APPLE RECORDS ~ MONO
Matrix Numbers are:
S1/XEX-709-1 1C <> S2/XEX-710-1 MG <> S3/XEX-711-1 51O <> S4/XEX-712-1 GGH

This set is complete and contains the Poster, 4 Photos w/Divider Sheet & 2 Black Inner Sleeves

This is a very nice set that is fully complete and a really pleasant play....Having a number under 1,000,000 is considered a low number, as this one is just a tad over 500K it is certainly a Low Number and Very Collectible!!  It does feature the "An EMI Recording" tag on the labels so it is a late first pressing as it also carries -1 matrix's on all 4 sides and the "Sp;d In The U.K. Subject To Resale Price Conditions" text.

VINYL Sides 1 & 2 are VISUALLY GRADED as VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS and PLAY GRADED as EXCELLENT  Record one has surface scuffing and a few very light, short hairlines which cannot be felt by fingertips, the scuffing is only seen under additional bright light and it does give off light sizzle/crackle and on "Blackbird" and into the beginning of "Piggies" there is single repeating tic (not a pop).  In dead wax between tracks light crackle is sporadic but far from obnoxious or overt, it is to be expected from a well played set from 1968.  It has a beautiful rainbow sheen to both sides and there are NO POPS or Jumps and certainly No skips.

VINYL Sides 3 & 4 are VISUALLY GRADED as VERY GOOD PLUS and PLAY GRADED as EXCELLENT  Again, as with the first LP, there is surface scuffing that in the case of this record is more apparent visually, but no more obtrusive sonically.  It plays quite well and I can only associate this with the scuffing and very few hairline scuffs (as opposed to hairlines scratches which can be felt by your fingertip) being above the depth of the nice deep groove.  While it does play with light sporadic crackle, it is not like bacon frying, it is just light, thin sizzle/crackle with only a couple of repeating tics which do not last any length of time and they are not of the POP variety.  I guess if I was being anal retentive I would say that Side 3 plays slightly EX-, but only briefly.  It's a nice set overall.

LABELS are GRADED as NEAR MINT Minor spindle marking and no writing, clean with a bit of roughing in the immediate ring of the spindle hole (see photos and ask for more if needed)

BLACK INNER SLEEVES are NEAR MINT and EXCELLENT in that one has a bit of tiny tears at the top edge and the other is near perfect, just a bit of a ring indentation and the inner ring die cut is without rips on both....flat and without seam splits!

JACKET is VISUALLY GRADED as EXCELLENT PLUS No seam splits, No ring wear, square corners, a partially legible title seam with light collapse.... No writing and a single spot of damage on the back top edge at the opening where there is a repaired 1.5 inch tear (see photo), there is almost NO discoloration and No yellowing.  A real beauty!

POSTER & PHOTOS are Poster is Excellent with a bit of wear at the seams but no tears and there are two pinholes at the intersection of the fold lines, the photos are MINT.  Divider sheet is yellowed but untorn.
