Description
This is a wonderful find and a great addition to your Beatles collection. This is the German "Pressung WEISS" double White Album (embossed number 104299). These are the milk-white vinyl records pressed with the direct metal masters in the late 1970's. Audiophiles know that the sound is far superior to normal pressings.
I would grade the vinyls near in excellent to near mint condition; no visible hairlines, no visible spindle marks. I don't know if these albums have ever been played. They come with the original poly-lined sleeves. The jacket is a gatefold and is cellophane protected so there are no surface scuffs (in the pictures, the stickers are afixed to the cellophane.
The BEATLES is embossed on the front and it has the No. 104299. The album comes with the individual 8 x 11 color pics of John, Paul, George & Ringo, plus a foldout poster of
All are also in excellent/like new condition.
NOTES ABOUT DMM: With DIRECT METAL MASTERING, the groove is cut directly in copper metal. High frequency loss, distortion and pre-echo associated with conventional lacquer mastering are eliminated and transient response is greatly improved. DMM record pressing sound brighter, cleaner, more detailed, with 15% more playing time than with lacquer technology. Stampers are plated directly from the DMM Copper Master, eliminating two of the three plating steps required for lacquers. In short, DMM yields better detail resolution and lower noise (for vinyl, DMM sounds closer to the MASTER TAPE than any other system of cutting).
