THE BEATLES-THE BEATLES WHITE ALBUM.

ORIGINAL STEREO TOP OPENER FROM 1968 ON APPLE RECORDS-PCS7067

A REALLY NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASSIC BEATLES DOUBLE LP.

A COMPLETE STEREO TOP OPENER WITH THE VERY LOW SLEEVE NUMBER 9226.

CONTAINS A NEAR MINT POSTER AND ALL FOUR PHOTOS,ALL IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.

CONDITION:-
SLEEVE:-THE FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.
THE FRONT HAS A FEW LIGHT CREASES AND ONE SLIGHTLY HEAVIER CREASE TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER BY THE NUMBER.(SEE PHOTO).
THERE IS A BIT OF FEATHERING TO THE TOP OPENING EDGE,BUT THIS ISN`T TOO BAD.
APART FROM THIS IT IS VERY CLEAN WITH VERY MINIMAL YELLOWING.

THE REAR IS AGAIN VERY CLEAN WITH A FEW VERY SMALL HARDLY NOTICEABLE LIGHT CREASES.
AGAIN THERE IS SLIGHT FEATHERING TO THE TOP OPENING EDGE,BUT NOT TOO BAD.

THE SPINE,HOWEVER,IS SHOWING QUITE A BIT OF WEAR.THE LAMINATE HAS SPLIT AND PEELED OFF ABOUT HALF OF IT,AND CONSEQUENTLY THESE AREAS LOOK GRUBBY.(SEE PHOTO)

ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE SHOWING WEAR BUT NONE ARE REALLY BAD,JUST A BIT BUMPED.

THE INNER GATEFOLD IS IN A VERY NICE CLEAN CONDITION WITH SOME VERTICAL CREASING TO THE LAMINATE ALONG THE TOP HALF OF THE SPINE.
BOTH SIDE FLIPBACKS ARE IN VERY NICE CONDITION WITH NO ISSUES.

RECORDS:-
SIDE 1:-
VISUAL:-WHEN INSPECTED UNDER A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT SIDE 1 LOOKS EXCELLENT+.THERE ARE A FEW EXTREMELY LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS THAT ARE BARELY NOTICEABLE.STILL HAS A NICE BRIGHT SHEEN AND OVERALL LOOKS REALLY NICE.
AUDIO:-WHEN PLAYED ON A VERY GOOD SYSTEM SIDE 1 PLAYS AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS.ALMOST PERFECT ALL THE WAY THROUGH APART FROM A TINY AMOUNT OF CRACKLE AT THE START OF DEAR PRUDENCE,BUT UNLESS YOU WERE INTENTLY LISTENING FOR IT AS I WAS,THEN YOU PROBABLY WOULDN`T NOTICE-IT`S THAT MINIMAL.

SIDE 2:-
VISUAL:-LOOKS EXCELLENT++.AGAIN A FEW VERY FEINT PAPER SCUFFS BARELY VISIBLE UNDER VERY BRIGHT LIGHT.STILL HAS A REALLY NICE SHEEN AND LOOKS GREAT.
AUDIO:-PLAYS AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS.NO ISSUES.A BIT OF VERY FEINT CRACKLE IN BETWEEN A FEW TRACKS,BUT AGAIN YOU WOULDN`T NOTICE UNLESS YOU WERE REALLY LISTENING FOR IT.

SIDE 3:-
VISUAL:-LOOKS EXCELLENT APART FROM 1 VISUAL MARK WHICH IS JUST FEELABLE WITH A FINGERNAIL.STILL HAS A REALLY NICE SHEEN.
AUDIO:-THE AFOREMENTIONED MARK DOES CAUSE A MILD CLICK DURING PARTS OF REVOLUTION 9,WHICH DOESN`T DETRACT TOO MUCH FROM THE MUSIC,BUT IS DEFINITELY THERE.
APART FROM THIS GLITCH THE SIDE PLAYS THROUGH REALLY WELL WITH NO OTHER ISSUES.

SIDE 4:-
VISUAL:-LOOKS NEAR MINT.WHEN INSPECTED UNDER A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT IT`S REALLY DIFFICULT TO FIND ANY FAULTS,BUT I`M GOING TO PLAY SAFE AND SAY MAYBE A FEW VERY FEINT PAPER SCUFFS,JUST IN CASE THE WINNER FINDS ANYTHING I MIGHT HAVE MISSED.HAS A REALLY NICE SHEEN AND LOOKS SUPERB.
AUDIO:-PLAYS THROUGH PERFECT.FOR ARGUMENTS SAKE I`M GOING TO SAY MAYBE A LITTLE LIGHT CRACKLE IN BETWEEN A FEW TRACKS,BUT TO BE HONEST,I DIDN`T NOTICE ANY.

LABELS:-ALL FOUR LABELS ARE PERFECT.NO TEARS,WRITING OR ANY WEAR OF ANY KIND.I CAN`T EVEN FIND ANY SPINDLE TRACES,EVIDENCE THAT THIS PARTICULAR COPY HAS BEEN BARELY PLAYED.
