 This may be the rarest Beatles album known to exist in the world !!!

    *****This is one of only three known to exist in the world******

I spoke with Bruce Spizer and he did confirm to me that this is in fact one of the very few known Lost Harrison White Albums that exists, before all the early matrix were to be destroyed.


Bruce Spizer said to me:
"The albums with master numbers 28 or 29 (or any number below 34 if they exist) were from Capitol's original mastering of the album. When George heard what Capitol had done, he insisted that the album be remastered. Capitol was suppose to destroy master numbers 1-33, but we now know that some 28-29 masters were not destroyed. At the time the price guide was written, only ONE of these rare masters had been confirmed"

Bruce Spizer also writes about this rare version in his book The Beatles on Apple Records:
"George Harrison, along with Mal Evans, was in Los Angeles to produce Jackie Lomax's upcoming Apple album. He dropped by the Capitol Tower to hear the White Album. He had left London for LA prior to the banding session during which the order of the songs was selected for The White Album, and wanted to hear the finished product. He did not like what he heard and insisted that he be allowed to work with Capitol's engineers to remaster the album.

This story is told by Mal Evans in an issue of The Beatles Book (the official Beatles Fan Club monthly publication) in which he states that Capitol's engineers had "done all sorts of technical things to it that altered half the effects." As was often the practice at the time, Capitols engineers had run the sound through a limiter and compressed the volume range of the recording by cutting back the high volume peaks and bringing up the low passages. This would have been particularly noticeable on "Helter Skelter," a loud rocker with a fake fade-out ending, and Harrison's "Long, Long, Long," which has quiet passages throughout and loud distortion at the end."

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a very rare part of Beatles history not often seen, or offered for sale anywhere in the world. Look at the photo of the #28 matrix you may have never seen and may never see again in your lifetime. Don't miss this opportunity for you will kick yourself when it's gone forever !!

Extremely Rare Original A-28 Matrix Pressing Of The Beatles White Album LP (Apple Records)

 Here's a rare opportunity to own the record that George Harrison didn't want you to hear!  A record so rare, there are fewer than two dozen confirmed copies in existence.  As the story goes, just prior to the release of 'The Beatles' self-titled double LP (which is now universally known as "The White Album"), George Harrison flew out to Los Angeles.  While there, he visited Capitol Records LA plant to listen to advance pressings of the record.  He was horrified by what he heard.  The album had compression and limitation added which altered the sound of what The Beatles' had intended and George set about remastering the entire album.  The first set of lacquers (33 in total) that were used to press the albums were ordered to be destroyed along with any records that may have been pressed.  That, it would seem, was that...except…

 
A few copies of the rejected album DID mistakenly get released!  The way to tell is by checking the matrix in the run-out groove for a number lower than 34. No copies of this pressing were known to exist prior to 2007.  Only a handful have been discovered in the intervening years.  Here's your chance to own one of them.  The album up for auction has the following matrix numbers:  B-29 / B-28 / A-28 / B-29.

The version I have is from Scranton PA plant. The original plates were used to press my record, BEFORE Capitol recalled the mother
plates 01 - 33. That ANY #28 -#29 mother plates existed and actually pressed some vinyl, were unknown to exist until 2007...
This is arguably the most important USA White Album ever to turn up.
I always wondered what George did to the record...all mother plates #1 - #33 were thought to
be destroyed (as per Bruce Spizer "The Beatles on Apple Records). Recently I came across a
White Album with the plate number #28-#29. No other #28-29 mothers are known to exist.
I also want to add..George didn't RE-MIX the album he may have REMASTERED it to some extent, for cutting the lacquers.

Excerpt from Bruce Spizer:
All of this is detailed in my book "The Beatles on Apple Records" on page
118. At the time I wrote the book, I stated that there were no numbers below
A34 cut at the Tower because all of these lacquers were destroyed. A few
years ago, someone had me examine a White Album with A28, B29, A28 and B29
for sides one through four. This showed that not all lacquers were
destroyed. These discs sound slightly different that the White Album we all
know and love. It is not a dramatic difference because the lacquers were cut
from the same master tape. We did a digital wave comparison of the discs
with A28 & B29 to a standard White Album. The difference is clearly visible.
You can see the compression on the original Capitol master. The digital wave
comparison appears on page 270 of my latest book, "The Beatles Swan Song:
"She Loves You" and Other Records." In addition, a lacquer of side one of
The White Album has recently turned up that further confirms Harrison's
remastering. The lacquer was cut at Sound Recorders Studio, 6226 Yucca,
Hollywood, CA, which is just around the corner from the Capitol Tower. An
image of the lacquer is in my Swan book, also on page 270. This is one of
the lacquers cut under Harrison's supervision. Ken Mansfield confirms that
Harrison went to that studio for the initial remastering. Obviously, the
lacquers used to cut the album were done at the Tower, as evidenced by the A and B lathe numbers.
 I hope that this proves for once and for all that the Harrison remaster story is not a myth, but is in fact true.

Here's all the invaluable information on how Beatles White Albums were numbered, and the meaning behind all the sequences

The first 25 White Albums were numbered with an “A” prefix and then a series of zeros preceding the number (e.g. A0000009). There are always seven digits following the “A” so if it was a single digit number it would be preceded by six zeroes or if it was a two digit number it would be preceded by five zeroes. It is not known what the “A” was indicative of (it may mean “printed in America” or “Apple” but neither is confirmed).

Numbers 26-99 were three digit numbers preceded with a zero and no prefix.

Numbers 100 through approximately 209,999 were preceded with the correct number of zeroes to make them a seven digit number (no letter prefix).

Beginning around 210,000 up to near 590,000, they were preceded by a zero and had an “A” prefix.

Later copies up to about 1,350,000 remain at seven digits using a leading zero if necessary and are prefixed with a large dot.

The next batch from 1,350,000 up to some point past 2,000,000 are prefixed with an “A” but it is a thinner “A” than the one previously used.

From 2,000,000 to around 2,250,000 some are prefixed with a large dot and some with the “A.”

From 2,250,000 up to 3,000,000 the numbers are prefixed with the abbreviation for number (i.e. “No.”). On some of these the “o” in “No.” is raised with the period below it instead of beside it.

For the final numbers over 3,000,000 the numbers are prefixed with a wide “A.”
