This is the ORIGINAL STEREO UK 1st pressing from 1968 and is in STUNNING condition!!!! This is an ORIGINAL 1968 1st STEREO Pressing with a DARK Green Apple Label, 'Sold in the UK' text, and a TOP opening numbered (0346701) cover. The records are pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The matrix numbers are YEX 709-1, YEX 710-1, YEX 711-1 & YEX 712-1. The mother and stamper codes are 1/AA, 2/OM, 1/O & 1/GL (MEGA EARLY MOTHERS AND STAMPERS!!!!). The Cat. No is PCS 7067/68 on the ORIGINAL DARK Apple label (see picture) and is a STEREO 1st pressing!!!!  All the tracks are Pure quality Beatles at their best!!!! Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels on BOTH records are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVE BARELY EVER BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in STUNNING condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and I will grade each side in turn visually and give a play grade and overall grading at the end.  Side 1 has NO scratches, NO hairlines, only 2 MEGA light small scufflines (only visible under light), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  Side 1 must grade Excellent(Minus) if not FULL Excellent!!!!  Side 2 has NO scratches, NO hairlines and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  Side 2 must grade Excellent++ if not better!!!!  Side 3 has NO scratches, NO hairlines, 1 small pressing mark (this is TINY and I am certain it is from manufacture) and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! Side 3 must grade Excellent (Minus) if not better!!!!  Side 4 has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! Side 4 must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  ALL SIDES RETAIN EVERY BIT OF THEIR ORIGINAL SHINE AND HAVE A 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  THESE REALLY ARE A STUNNING SET OF RECORDS!!!!  It is great to find that the playing of the records is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! They play with NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! These records play STUNNINGLY and play with NO clicks and NO pops - apart from 3 or 4 brief pops right at the beginning of the 2nd Track on Side 3 from the tiny pressing mark (mentioned above) - AND THATS IT!!!!  WHAT A STUNNING SET OF RECORDS!!!!  They play with STUNNING audio clarity with STUNNING booming bass, NO groovewear and NO distortion!!!!  The records must grade overall (playing & visual) at Excellent (Minus) if not FULL Excellent!!!!  A STUNNING SET OF RECORDS!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! BOTH records also come in their ORIGINAL Black inners which are in AWESOME condition with NO rips, NO tears, NO splits and NO feathering!!!! IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND INNERS LIKE THESE!!!! THESE ARE SUPERB!!!! And the MEGA rare white picture spacers are also in STUNNING condition!!!!  These rare picture spacers were pieces of paper put between the picture inserts in transit to protect them from rubbing and movement.  In this White LP ALL FOUR are intact and most importantly they are 100% geniune!!!!  It is easy to tell this for 2 reasons.  Firstly this LP came from a domestic private collection and had only one VERY careful owner from new, and secondly ALL are exactly the same height.  One is slightly more yellow than the others and one is curiously thinner than the others - but ALL are the correct height and clearly original to the cover and NOT later replacements. Not only this but the poster and the 4 colour inserts are in STUNNING 'never left the cover' MINT condition!!!!  AWESOME!!!!

The Gatefold 'TOP OPENING' Numbered Flipback STEREO Laminated Cover is in STUNNING condition!!!! This is the CORRECT Stereo 1st Press Cover with 'Stereo' printed on the reverse.  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (still FULLY laminated - MEGA rare on this cover), NO ringwear, NO grubbyness, only slight corner wear, barely ANY creases AT ALL apart from a couple of TINY creases in the top right corners (cover is still VERY flat looking), STUNNING shiny laminate and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are PERFECTLY straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO damage to the flipbacks (PERFECT flipbacks), NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!! The number looks like it was pressed yesterday and the raised writing of 'The Beatles' is 100% DIRT FREE!!!!  Not only that but this Album really is VERY white looking - with none of the nasty yellowing often found on these LPs!!!!  The cover must grade FULL Excellent if not better and this has to be one of the best conditioned 'White Album' covers I have seen!!!!  WHITE LPS IN ANY CONDITION ARE INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND - BUT FINDING ONE IN THIS CONDITION IS VERY VERY HARD INDEED!!!!  DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!
