Inner Sleeve:  vinyl has been stored in MFSL protective inner sleeves. I no longer have the original white inners. The black inner sleeve visible in photo four is not included with this LP...it was used for this photo only. I wanted to place the vinyl on a soft surface for photographs

************************************************************************************************************************************

IMPORTANT NOTE:  I've owned this LP and another just like it from new. There are two things I would like you to be aware of before bidding. First, I've corresponded with collectors in regard to this pressing and most, if not all, were surprised to find that over the years the covers inner gatefold surface had become discolored.  I removed the shrink wrap from my other copy and was unable to open the gatefold sleeve. I assume that the ageing process I've mentioned is preventing me from doing so. Due to the fact that the LP for auction is still in its shrink wrap, I do not know if the inner gatefold is discolored or if opening the gatefold will be possible. Second, this LP is pressed on white vinyl, which unfortunately does not produce a noise free playing surface. This is believed by many to be the greatest sounding White Album available, but due to the pressing material used, imperfections inherent in the vinyl format must be taken into consideration. These imperfections are natural and for the most part negligible. Discussions with collectors regarding this LP have validated my beliefs that finding a 'perfect copy' is not likely. If you are expecting an absolutely perfect LP please do not bid.  If you've been searching for this pressing and are aware of its absolutely magical sound...good luck with your bid

All LP’s are very carefully graded. This LP has been graded visually. I purchased the record still sealed. I played two songs once to compare with another copy. I grade each record in daylight and directly under a very strong incandescent lamp.  Cartridge used: Shure V15VxMR @ 1.5 grams VTF

All records are shipped inside protective plastic covers. I use professional mailers and two protective stiffeners. When posting, I always separate records from their covers and original inner sleeves (if original inner is present) to prevent seam splits during shipping

I will combine shipping for multiple wins: Domestic, add $1.00 for each additional LP, add $1.00 for Double LP's. International, add $1.00 for the second LP, add $1.00 for Double LP's.
