Thanks for visiting River City Records. We specialize in vintage original pressings of rare and unique vinyl records. Up for auction is the following record for your collection.

Artist: The Beatles

Album: The Beatles (White Album) - Auction is for 2 COPIES NUMBERED IN SEQUENTIAL ORDERS (RARE - I've never seen it before)

Pressing Notes: Original 1968 SWBO-101 US late 1st run Pressing (Scranton).

Vinyl Grade (grading scale below): VG+++

Sleeve Grade: VG - some light staining and seem splitting on top of both jackets. Slight corner dings. Overall still very presentable and fully functional.

Notes: Auction is for BOTH copies and I have never seen an auction for two of these great albums together in sequential order like these. Look again at the pics....they are numbered in sequence and you get both copies. They sound fantastic and are in really, really good shape but value here is that they numbered in sequence together. One set is missing the original set of pictures. As you can see in the pics there are 2 posters but only 1 full set of pics.

Please note my 100% positive feedback selling records here on Ebay for the last 17 years. I pack and ship all LPs in a proper LP mailer. I ship via USPS Media Mail with tracking. Items are shipped on Wednesday and Saturday following date of payment.

RECORD GRADING SCALE

Mint [M]: Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed.

Near Mint [NM or M-]: A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear.

An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.

The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.

In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.

Very Good [VG]: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.

Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

Good [G], Good Plus [G+]: Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.

A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.

Poor [P], Fair [F]: The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and written upon. It looks like somebody used it as a dinner plate.
