THE BEATLES - White Album
Original UK Numbered stereo LP
Apple (PCS 7068)
UK original stereo pressing on the Apple label with "Sold in the UK...." and "An E.M.I. Recording" text on all four labels. The laminated gatefold top opening sleeve is numbered 0142865.
The fully laminated gatefold sleeve is in a strong g+ condition. The main problem is water damage to the bottom half of the sleeve. There are no splits and no writing. We have not added any more brightness to the pictures as it washes out any signs of wear, so the pictures are close to how it looks in hand.
Matrix:
YEX 709-1 (1 TH)
YEX 710-1 (3 GRR)
YEX 711-1 (1 TM)
YEX 712-1 (1 TP)
Missing the black inner sleeves and also missing the photos and poster.
Both labels are in excellent condition. There is no spindle wear and a fair amount of short spider marks. There is no writing and no tears.
The records are in a strong vg+ condition and the play grade is far higher than the visual grade. There is some micro scuffing to the records and all sides have several long and noticeable hairlines. However, none of these are feelable and there is also plenty of original sheen left on the playing surfaces. Playback is a nice excellent, no sign of groovewear.
Please note that we grade all records the same whether they are 40 years old or 1 year old.

Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under two 50 Watt halogen bulbs. Pictures are of actual item up for auction.
All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.
Near Mint
Almost mint. Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care. Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.
Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.
VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks on both sides. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
