The Beatles Album

(White Album)

Number #0026498

This is an original Beatles (WHITE) Album recorded in England in 1968.....The Beatles was the first Beatles' album released by Apple Records, as well as their only original double album......

The Beatles name is embossed (re-issues were grey print) slightly below the middle of the album's right side, and the cover also featured a unique stamped serial number - This particular album has an extremely low number #0026498 because over 3 million were originally numbered...  

Included, is the large poster, and the four photos of John, Paul, George, and Ringo...

This Beatles album was given to me as a gift when this album first came out....There is a scratch is on the cover where the price sticker was taken off before it was given to me....

The records have only been played three times (when I first got the album), and it has been stored, and never played since that time.....the cover jacket shows some shelf wear, but everything inside is in near mint condition....

In 1997, The Beatles was named the 10th greatest album of all time in a 'Music of the Millennium' poll conducted by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM. In 1998, Q magazine readers placed it at number 17, while in 2000 the same magazine placed it at number 7 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.

In 2001, the TV network VH1 named it as the 11th greatest album ever.

It was ranked number 10 in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time in 2003.

In 2006, the album was chosen by Time Magazine as one of the 100 best albums of all time.

On the 40th anniversary of the album's release the Vatican issued an unusual review of the album. The official Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, published a lengthy article which declared that "Forty years later, this album remains a type of magical musical anthology: 30 songs you can go through and listen to at will, certain of finding some pearls that even today remain unparalleled."Forgiving John Lennon's "more popular than Jesus" remark, the paper called the White Album the "creative summit" of the Beatles' career, comparing it favorably to contemporary music and taking note of the now antiquated equipment used, concluding that "a listening experience like that offered by the Beatles is truly rare."

The album was a major commercial success, spending a total of eight weeks at #1 in the UK (the first week being that of December 7, 1968), and nine weeks at #1 in the United States (the first week being that of December 28, 1968).
