Description
Extremely rare original 1968 issue EARLY US PRESSING OF The Beatles White Album (Apple SWBO-101 2 LP set). This is an original STERO early pressing numbered copy (number A 2038598) with the raised "Beatles" lettering on front and a number on front.
Album is complete with all original inserts including the large poster and the 4 high quality glossy pictures of each Beatle! Even has the original inner sleeves.
Discs are VG++(real nice clean disks) and album cover is VG+. It has some damage and shows ring wear (see scans). All labels are shinny and clean.
If you have a “numbered” White Album or are just curious about variations in how the numbers appear on the jackets, then read below (refer to illustration to the left for sample serial numbers):
- The first 25 White Albums were numbered with an “A” prefix and then a series of zeros preceding the number (e.g. A0000009). There are always seven digits following the “A” so if it was a single digit number it would be preceded by six zeroes or if it was a two digit number it would be preceded by five zeroes. It is not known what the “A” was indicative of (it may mean “printed in America” or “Apple” but neither is confirmed).
- Numbers 26-99 were three digit numbers preceded with a zero and no prefix.
- Numbers 100 through approximately 209,999 were preceded with the correct number of zeroes to make them a seven digit number (no prefix).
- Beginning around 210,000 up to near 590,000, they were preceded by a zero and had an “A” prefix.
- Later copies up to about 1,350,000 remain at seven digits using a leading zero if necessary and are prefixed with a large dot.
- The next batch from 1,350,000 up to some point past 2,000,000 are prefixed with an “A” but it is a thinner “A” than the one previously used.

All records are strictly graded and come with a 100% money back guarantee. All records are original, first pressings unless otherwise noted. If the record is an LP, EP or has a picture sleeve, the record is graded first, followed by the cover or sleeve.
Grading is based on the following criteria
Mint = store stock new
Mint- = near new with only one or two small insignificant defects
VG++ = extremely nice. Would be Mint-, except for a couple of light scratches or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still sounds OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
