On offer here is a VERY rare Double LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called "The Beatles" (more commonly known as 'The White Album') and is an ORIGINAL UK MONO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press DARK Apple labels!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER BEATLES LPs OF ALL TIME AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  IT IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPs ON THE APPLE LABEL, AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS INCREDIBLE DOUBLE LP IS 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL HUGE POSTER, 2-RECORDS, 4 COLOUR 'PRINTS', 2 BLACK APPLE INNERS, AND 'NUMBERED' (0019815) TOP OPENING GATEFOLD COVER!!!!

LOW NUMBER:-  This Double LP has an EXTREMELY Low Number - being 0019815!  Putting this into context, there were around 3000 Record Shops in the UK in the 1960s (including large chains and independent shops).  Most towns had 2 or 3 shops in each and records sold in far FAR higher numbers than they ever did in more recent times.  Each shop recieved the White Album in equal batches for the day of release throughout the country.  So it is fairly simple to work out, that if you divide 0019815 by 3000 shops - you end up with around the number 6!  So clearly this Double LP would have been the sixth copy EVER sold in a record shop on the VERY 'day of release' back in 1968!  And certainly this Double LP would have been made way WAY before the release date, and sold in the very first hour this Double LP went on sale in 1968!  THATS HOW LOW THIS NUMBER REALLY IS!!!! 

THIS DOUBLE LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE, WITH ULTRA RARE 1/1/1/1 MATRIXES (MOST DONT!) & NO 'EMI RECORDING' TEXT ON ANY OF THE LABELS!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS DOUBLE LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND IS 100% COMPLETE WITH A BRILLIANT SET OF INSERTS, AND 100% GENIUNE 1ST PRESS BLACK INNER SLEEVES!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!   THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS DARK APPLE LABELS, 1ST PRESS 1/1/1/1 MATRIXES, 1ST PRESS 'SOLD IN THE UK' LABEL TEXT, 1ST PRESS BLACK APPLE INNER SLEEVES, 1ST PRESS POSTER, 1ST PRESS 4 'COLOUR PRINTS', AND 1ST PRESS TOP OPENING 'NUMBERED' (0019815) FULLY LAMINATED FLIPBACK 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' MONO COVER!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!  The records are pressed on THICK quality vinyl.

I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  BOTH records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press Black Apple inners which are in BRILLIANT condition - with NO rips, NO tears, NO splits, and NO writing!!!!  The ULTRA RARE Poster & 4 Colour 'Prints' are both in BRILLIANT condition (see pictures) with NO damage AT ALL and only 2 TINY dots on the back of 1 photo ONLY!!!!  A VERY NICE SET OF INSERTS INDEED!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Gatefold TOP Opening FULLY Laminated Flipback 'Numbered' MONO Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (apart from the usual touch of laminate loss - but NO actual wear!), NO grubbyness, only 1 TINY indentation next to the number, NO rips, NO tears, only a few TINY indentations elsewhere, only slight corner wear, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), shiny laminate, barely ANY yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  The TOP opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the laminated inside of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO writing, VERY nice flipbacks, STUNNING shiny 'mirror-like' laminate, NO grubbyness, and barely ANY yellowing AT ALL!!!!  The '0019815' number on the cover front is EXACTLY 'as printed' back in 1968 and has absolutely NO wear AT ALL - and the raised lettering of 'The Beatles' on the cover front is simply SUPERB with barely ANY grubbyness (virtually NONE!), and NO dirt AT ALL!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
