*************************************************************************
UP FOR AUCTION IS A VERY RARE AND OUT OF PRINT ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO APPLE RECORDS 2 LP SET "THE BEATLES" (THE WHITE ALBUM), PMC 7067/8. THIS IS A COMPLETE SET WITH FOUR PHOTOS, THE POSTER AND BLACK INNER SLEEVES. THIS IS THE LAMINATED, TOP OPENING, NUMBERED, GATEFOLD SLEEVE, WITH THE EMBOSSED "BEATLES" (#0267119).
THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT VG+ TO VG++ CONDITION WITH NO DAMAGE AND SLIGHT MARKS.
THE BLACK INNER SLEEVES ARE IN VG++ CONDITION WITH SLIGHT DAMAGE AT LABEL OPENING. NO SEAM SPLITS.
THE VINYL LPS ARE IN VG TO VG+ CONDITION WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE DURING PLAY. MOST NOTICEABLE IN BETWEEN SONGS. FOR EXAMPLE: "MARTHA MY DEAR" HAS SOME SURFACE NOISE DURING PLAY. ON "BLACKBIRD" SURFACE NOISE IS BARELY NOTICEABLE.
THE FOUR PHOTOS ARE IN VG++ CONDITION. THE POSTER IS IN VG CONDITION.
RECORD 1 : SIDE ONE - DARK GREEN APPLE EMBOSSED "KT". "SOLD IN THE UK SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS SEE PRICE LIST", AN "EMI RECORDING". MATRIX NUMBERS SIDE ONE XEX 709-1 (IN DEAD WAX LOOKS LIKE BUT NOT SURE "MD" TO THE RIGHT OF THE APPLE, AND TO LEFT "353" OR "333"). SIDE TWO - MATRIX NUMBERS XEX 710-1 (IN DEAD WAX "G" TO THE RIGHT OF THE APPLE AND TO THE LEFT "1" ).
RECORD 2 : SIDE THREE - DARK GREEN APPLE "SOLD IN UK" "EMI RECORDING" MATRIX NUMBER XEX 711-2 (IN DEAD WAX TO THE RIGHT OF APPLE "GGA" AND TO LEFT "1" ). THIS IS THE SIDE THAT PLAYS STEREO. SIDE FOUR - EMBOSSED "KJT". MATRIX NUMBERS XEX 712-1 (IN DEAD WAX TO THE RIGHT OF THE APPLE "OG" TO LEFT "2" ).
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS EXTREMELY RARE PRESSING ANYWHERE BEFORE. SIDES 1,2 AND 4 PLAY IN MONO, AND SIDE 3 PLAYS IN STEREO. ALL LABELS ARE PRINTED MONO. IT'S POSSIBLE A STEREO STAMPER WAS ACCIDENTALLY USED FOR ONE SIDE. PERHAPS A FEW HUNDRED WERE PRESSED THAT WAY AND WENT OUT UNDETECTED. IF THE ERROR WAS CAUGHT THEN MAYBE ONLY A FEW ACCIDENTALLY ESCAPED THE UK PRESSING PLANT. WHO KNOWS? ALL I KNOW IS "I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS".
PLEASE EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. KINDLY READ ALL PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL PAYMENTS. THANKS FOR LOOKING!
