Description

The Beatles Auction is for all 3 albums
White Album Help Sgt Pepper
This auction is for all three Albums All Russian sleeves and records, I purchased them whilst working in Russia during the mid 90's and have stored them in my record collection ever since.
The White Album The Beatles – THE BEATLES (aka THE WHITE ALBUM) - LP 1

THE BEATLES The Beatles (1991 Russian 30-track Antrop label double LP, the ninth album originally released in 1968, unique gatefold sleeve with the band name on the front and cyrillic text below. The inside of the sleeve omits the track 'Piggies' & has the tracks listed also in cyrillic; like most pressings there are images of the four band members inside but on this pressing there look more like drawings than actual photographs. The non laminated sleeve as you would expect has some minor storage ringwear and only light signs of age, the labels feature a unique 'Apple' style design and are numbered 1-4 and have no spindle marks, whilst the vinyl is in near mint condition showing very little evidence of being played).

Help V1b The first part of record's run was released with the defect: the running time of ?? ????????? ??? ??????? (You're Going To Lose That Girl) is 1:50 instead of authorized 2:16, because the first part of the song sounds as being played faster (similar to sound effect appears while CD-player being used in search mode). This defect says the phonogram from CD was used for manufacturing the vinyl records. Defective track was found on the LP carrying 3-1 H matrix number ending of side 1. This LP has the labels of var. 1b and the sleeve of var. 1 carrying var. 1A of the back side. 
Sgt Pepper V1 This 2LP-set (double album) released by AnTrop is pretty unusual edition which includes two albums: SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND and REVOLVER (titles are stated only in Russian as ??????? ????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ??????? and ??????????). In other countries they were issued only as single LPs. It should be noted that the back side of the gatefold sleeve shows title of the second LP listed in old style (with letter "?" in the end of the word) – ?????????? – i.e. by the rules of Russian orthography abolished in 1918. All spine and label variations carry it in current spelling – ?????????.
All text on AnTrop double album (on gatefold sleeve, on insert, on labels) is only in Russian. Authorship of compositions is not listed either on sleeve or labels. It can be found only on insert.
On the front side of the gatefold sleeve below AnTrop logo you can see one more logo featuring HK symbol and the circled letter "?", which belongs to the art designer of AnTrop company Nikolay Kibalchich. The same logo also can be seen on the back side in right middle part.
Several gatefold sleeve variations are known to exist this is Version 1:
The first part of record's run was released with the defect: the running time of ?? ????????? ??? ???????
