Description
YOU ARE LOOKING AT A RARE FIRST UK PRESSING OF THE BEATLES ALBUM NOW KNOWN AS "THE WHITE ALBUM".
ALTHOUGH I AM , AND ALLWAYS HAVE BEEN , A BEATLES FAN I CANNOT CLAIM TO BE AS KNOWLEDGABLE AS
SOME OF THE SELLERS YOU MAY COME ACROSS ON EBAY . I CAN , THEREFORE ONLY GIVE THE RELEVANT FACTS
ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ITEM (I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS OPERATING THE LAMINATING MACHINE AT GARROD &
LOFTHOUSE ! ) SO , HERE GOES : STAMP No 0027413
SIDE ONE MATRIX No XEX 709-1 . PO
SIDE TWO " XEX 710-1 . AL
SIDE THREE " XEX 711-1 . ? (STAMPS NOT CLEAR,LOOKS LIKE 1G)
SIDE FOUR " XEX 712-2 . ? ( DITTO )
THE ALBUM COMES COMPLETE WITH FOUR INDIVIDUAL PHOTOS EACH DEPICTING ONE OF THE BEATLES,
THE POSTER WITH A COLLAGE OF PICS ON ONE SIDE AND FULL LYRICS ON THE OTHER IS BEGINNING TO
DETERIORATE ON THE FOLDS (NOT SURPRISING SINCE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN ON A TEENAGERS
BEDROOM WALL FORTY YEARS AGO ! ) . THE VINYL HAS SOME MARKS BUT PLAYS THROUGH VERY WELL
WITH SOME "CRACKLE" AT THE START OF EACH ALBUM BUT NOTHING THAT HAS SPOILT LISTENING FOR
ME ANYWAY .
THE ALBUM COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL BLACK LINERS WHICH ,ALTHOUGH STILL IN ONE PIECE , ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF AGE
ON THE OPENING EDGES.THE MAIN SLEEVE HAS SOME MARKS ON THE FRONT AND BACK AND IS SHOWING SOME YELLOWING
OF THE LAMINATE WHICH SEEMS TO BE COMMON WITH THIS ALBUM
MAKE NO MISTAKE THIS ALBUM HAS NOT BEEN STUCK ON A SHELF FOR FORTY YEARS WAITING FOR ITS VALUE TO INCREASE
IT HAS BEEN PLAYED AND CARED FOR ,WHICH IS HOW I'D LIKE TO THINK IT SHOULD BE.
PLEASE VIEW MY FEEDBACK BEFORE BIDDING,I TRY TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS ,THEN NOBODY IS DISAPOINTED !
THANKS FOR LOOKING & GOOD LUCK.
