Description
The Beatles The White Album
Low number 0065520
Top Opening Mono first press
Presented in stunning condition
Vinyls are extremely clean and bright with a new looking sheen all four sides grade as EX with only very light sleeve removals.
All labels are EX no damage and minimal spindle wear very crisp and clean dark green Apple labels
Mono playback is stunning with only faintest of vinyl background here and there but solid warm MONO play back as only these first pressings can provide. It does have an extremely rare factory anomaly on side two: there is an extraneous O stamp in the matrix numbers that has been stamped on the edge of the run out/dead wax and causes 4 light hiss/clicks at the end of the track. It is not visible by eye: even when looked at magnified. It is extremely rare to find any factory anomaly from the EMI factory and especially on a Beatles LP
XEX 709- 1 1 GA
XEX 710-1 1 2 (with 6 underneath) RA 0 (one third is over a few grooves into Julia but is not visible at all)
XEX 711-1 3 LA
XEX 712-1 7 LT
In Dead wax denotes UK first press
Mfd In UK on all labels
Both black inners are EX condition with a little feathering to top and centre but no seam splits and still very crisp and clean
All photos are present in superb EX condition with the extremely rare tracing paper spacer
Poster is also present with an odd folding again it seems to be a factory anomaly (see pics) some tiny marks at the corners of the folds but easily grades as EX no pin holes or tape marks.
Outer laminated gatefold sleeve is EX with a very clean readable spine no damage at all very crisp and white: so many of these discoloured and yellowed over time but this one is still very very clean and bright both inside and out. Some light creases to lamination but otherwise it is in stunning condition. Please see pics.
Great up grade copy getting more and more difficult to find copies of this masterpiece in such good condition. This is an undocumented variatiant with the anomalous matrix on side 2 and what appears to be a rare poster fold. Arguably a very very rare copy
Perfect addition to any collection
