LAMINATED TOP OPENING SLEEVE , NUMBERED: 0026508 GRADED EXCELLENT CONDITION
RECORDS GRADED: VERY GOOD+ CONDITION

The records show generally light wear, light scratches and minor nicks causing occasional "pops", but they are still very respectable and play very well. No major problems at all. No writing anywhere on the labels (which are EXCELLENT), inserts or sleeve. The sleeve is in very nice EXCELLENT condition, still very clean, ,light wear to spine (with a small graze to the top of the spine, where the laminate has been worn away, but with no major damage). No heavy creases, tears or repairs. As you will all know, sleeves numbered below 50,000 are now incredibly rare. This very low-numbered copy is in extremely collectable condition.

THE BEATLES (generally known as "The White Album" because of its cover) was a sprawling two-record set, highlighting the distinct personalities in the group as they matured and moved further away from each other. With the four Beatles playing like session men on each other's songs, the making of the album was fraught with tension. John Lennon's songs included a bitter take on people who read too much into the Beatles' lyrics ("Glass Onion"), reflections on loneliness and alienation ("Yer Blues," "I'm So Tired"), and the avant garde sound collage "Revolution 9."
George Harrison's songs offered black humor ("Piggies") and tender sadness ("While My Guitar Gently Weeps," with Eric Clapton on guitar). Paul McCartney provided both light, lyric songs ("Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," "Honey Pie"), and rockers ("Back In The U.S.S.R.," the explosive "Helter Skelter"). Ringo Starr made his solo songwriting debut with the goofy country/ska lilt of "Don't Pass Me By" and sang the album closer "Good Night."
