Description

From Wikpedia.com:

The Beatles is the ninth official album by The Beatles, a double album released in 1968 (see 1968 in music). It is most often referred to as The White Album, as it has no text other than the band's name on its plain white sleeve, designed by pop artist Richard Hamilton. Originally planned to be titled A Doll's House, the album is often hailed as one of the major accomplishments in popular music.

In 1997, The Beatles was named the 10th greatest album of all time in a 'Music of the Millennium' poll conducted by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM. In 1998, Q magazine readers placed it at number 17, while in 2000 the same magazine placed it at number 7 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2001, the TV network VH1 named it as the 11th greatest album ever. It was also ranked number 10 in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time in 2003.

According to the Recording Industry Association of America, The Beatles is the Beatles' best-selling album at 19-times platinum and the ninth-best-selling album of all time in the United States. Note, that the RIAA counts sales of double albums twice for its rankings, and without this adjustment, The Beatles would be the Beatles' fourth best selling album in the US.

Up for auction is vintage, tewnty-eight year-old Beatle LP from my collection--the rare, 1979 Limited Edition, Capitol release of the White Album pressed in white vinyl (SEBX-2-11841). This is the last copy I have. The album is in mint condition--it even has the original shrink wrap. I, however, openned it to show my fellow eBayers that all the inserts are included. I did this because an eBayer once ripped me off with a 'factory sealed' vintage LP. It was niether factory sealed nor was it vintage.
