BEATLES WHITE ALBUM MONO 1ST PRESS 2 PLAYS ONLY NR.MINT

HI and welcome to my auction. My name is Stuart, and let me start by saying that first and foremost, I am an avid record collector, and have been since I purchased my first record in the early 60’s. I have now decided that I don’t need so many duplicates of everything, so have decided to thin down my collection to make room! Most of the records I will be selling over the coming weeks will be either duplicates or ones that I have acquired that do not fit into my collection.

I take great care of all my records as regards storage and protection, and they are stored upright and in a dry and dust free environment, away from the light. All the ones I will be listing will be carefully play tested and visually graded whenever possible. Any significant defects to the record or sleeve will be noted in the listing. I will use the grading system found in the Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide.

Buyer satisfaction is very important to me, and I am very proud of my unblemished 100% feedback, which I have had since starting Ebaying 6 years ago. Please be sure to check out my feedback to see the comments from satisfied buyers of my records so far, and bid with 100% confidence. If I grade a record as near mint ( I do not believe in grading mint, unless it is brand new) then you can be sure that it will be visually and audibly just that, and would be hard to find a better example!

I will give a full, money back guarantee if item is significantly not as described. (less return postage costs). If there are any problems with your purchase, please contact me before leaving negative feedback, and and I will endeavour to resolve them to our mutual satisfaction. 

Ok, now I have given you some background information about myself, it’s time to get on with the auction.

 I HAVE FOR SALE A 1ST PRESS MONO COPY OF THE BEATLES DOUBLE WHITE ALBUM, IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, IN A WIDE SPINE SLEEVE NUMBERED 0139029. I BOUGHT THIS WHEN IT WAS 1ST RELEASED AND ONLY PLAYED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES TO TRANSFER IT TO CASSETTE. THE RECORDS WERE THEN REMOVED FROM THE BLACK INNERS AND PLACED IN ANTI-STATIC SLEEVES, AND THE ALBUM STORED AWAY. THE BLACK INNERS WERE FOLDED IN HALF AND STORED INSIDE THE SLEEVE. I HAVE PLACED A RESERVE ON THIS, AS IT IS IN SUCH REMARKABLY GOOD CONDITION.

MATRIX NUMBERS AND STAMPERS.

THE VINYLS. BOTH THE VINYLS HAVE A BRAND NEW BLACK HIGH GLOSS SHINE. UNDER CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A HALOGEN LAMP ALL FOUR SIDES HAVE NO SIGN OF ANY MARKS AT ALL. REALLY LOOKING HARD THERE MAY BE THE ODD WHISPY SLEEVE REMOVAL LINE, AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPINDLE TRAILS TO THE LABELS.. APART FROM THAT ALL 4 LABELS BEARING THE "SOLD IN THE UK...." AND "AN EMI RECORDING" STATEMENTS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. BOTH RECORDS SIT PERFECTLY FLAT ON THE TURNTABLE.  I WOULD GRADE BOTH VINYLS AS NEAR MINT CONDITION.

THE RECORD SLEEVE. ALL 4 CORNERS OF THE TOP OPENING SLEEVE ARE NICE AND SHARP WITH ONLY VERY LIGHT "BUMPING",AND VERY SLIGHT WEAR MARKS. THERE ARE NO SPLITS OR PEELING TO THE LAMINATE,APART FROM VERY SLIGHTLY LIFTING ALONG THE WIDE SPINE.(THE WIDE SPINE HAS A CREASE DOWN THE CENTRE DUE TO THE SLEEVE BEING OPENED AND CLOSED). THE FRONT HAS VERY VERY LIGHT RING WEAR VISIBLE WHEN HELD REFLECTED IN THE LIGHT, AS DOES THE REAR. THE EXTREMELY LOW STAMPED NUMBER 0139029 IS VERY CLEAN AND CLEAR.(SEE PIC) THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL NICE AND SHARP, WITH MINIMAL SIGNS OF WEAR.  ALL THE FLIPBACKS ARE STILL FIRMLY GLUED AND UNDAMAGED. THE SPINE IS STILL CLEARLY READABLE. I WOULD GRADE THIS AS EXCELLENT.

THE BLACK INNER RECORD SLEEVES. BOTH BLACK ONE SIDED DIE CUT INNER SLEEVES ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, ONLY BEING LET DOWN BY THE FOLD DOWN THE CENTRE OF EACH ONE. THERE ARE NO SPLITS OR TEARS WHATSOEVER. I WOULD GRADE THIS AS EXCELLENT+.

THE POSTER/LYRICS SHEET. THE POSTER IS CLEAN WITH NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING, AND HAS NEVER BEEN HUNG, SO ALL 4 CORNERS ARE PIN/BLUE TACK FREE. THERE IS SOME HARDLY DETECTABLE LIGHT CREASING, AND THE ODD "FOXING" MARK HEAR AND THERE.THERE ARE NO SPLITS OR TEARS ANYWHERE, AND ALL THE FOLDS ARE LIKE NEW. I WOULD GRADE THIS AS EXCELLENT+.

THE FOUR PICTURES. THE 4 PICTURES OF THE LADS ARE VERY CLEAN AND IN GREAT CONDITION,HAVING NEVER BEEN HUNG ON THE WALL, WITH NO PIN HOLES, BLUE TACK ETC. I WOULD GRADE THESE AS EXCELLENT+.
