Description
The Beatles "White Album" 1st UK Press Stereo Vinyl LP, 22nd November, 1968
Complete & original 1st UK Stereo press of The Beatles eponymous 1968 double album ‘The Beatles’ aka the White Album. Released on the 22nd November 1968, this 1st pressing was issued with the all four sides missing “An EMI Recording” from the labels which was soon corrected on the 2nd press. All four sides have matrix numbers ending in -1 correctly denoting they were pressed from the 1st lacquers and the low mother & stamper codes show this set was very early off the press. The sleeve is low numbered (stereo sleeves began at 300,000) No. 0330890. This set is still complete with all original parts - two delicate black inners, large foldout poster with song lyrics on the flip-side, and 4 portrait photos of the band.
Serial number: PMC 7067/8
Matrix number: YEX 709-1, YEX 710-1, YEX 711-1, YEX 712-1
Mother & stampers codes: 6OD / 4PG / 3MM / 1GM

In good natural light and under focused halogen light both discs show superb deep-gloss playing surfaces. Nothing visible in daylight and only a few short hairlines visible under halogen spotlight from sleeve-removal. EXCELLENT PLUS! Beautiful!
AUDIO:
This is a top player! Super quiet lead-ins and between tracks making way for the music to shine through in all its 1st press glory. No repeat clicks, obtrusive pops, no hiss or distortion. Quiet passages and tracks play without issue or distraction. Clearly no skips or sticks at this top grade. EXCELLENT PLUS! Fantastic.
SLEEVE:
Super glossy, bright and clean. No ring wear, sharp edges and corners. Fully readable spine. Nice clear number. An absolute gem of a copy with the inside looking like it had never been opened.
