$

275

Apple Records "THE BEATLES" 
This is an original 1st pressing of The Beatles album (White Album) with all of the 7 song title spelling errors on the labels. 
SO WHAT IS A "7 ERRORS" COPY OF THE WHITE ALBUM???

The story goes that in the fall of 1968, shortly after the White Album was released, John Lennon was given a copy of the US edition and flagged SEVEN ERRORS he found in the song titles.
They are, as follows: Side 1: Obladi Oblada (As opposed to: Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da) 
Side 1: Bungalow Bill (As opposed to: The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill) 
Side 2: Rocky Racoon (As opposed to: Rocky Raccoon)
Side 2: Why Don’t We Do it in the Road (As opposed to: Why Don’t We Do it in the Road?) 
Side 4: Revolution No. 1 (As opposed to: Revolution 1) 
Side 4: Revolution No. 9 (As opposed to: Revolution 9) 
Side 4: Goodnight (As opposed to Good Night)   
The labels on all US pressings were amended very quickly afterwards making these first US editions very rare and it's hard to find an example of this album in such clean, and overall excellent condition.
