Description
"THE BEATLES" WHITE ALBUM
A first pressing and very early top-loading monaural UK pressing dating from 1968 on Dark green apple labels: PMC 7067
All four labels have the 'Sold in U.K.' text. Side four has a 'KT' tax code.
Disk 1 Matrices: XEX 709-1 & XEX 710-1
Disk 2 Matrices: XEX 711-3 & XEX 712-1
Fully laminated Garrod & Lofthouse top-opening gatefold sleeve, numbered 0178230.
Unfortunately, the poster and portraits are floating somewhere out there and are not included; however, I am including four reproduction portraits (of my own make, pictured above).
CONDITION
Labels: VERY GOOD PLUS
The labels suffer only spindle wear--seen when examined under a light.
Visual: VERY GOOD
The vinyl still has a nice shine to it, but there are many hairline scratches.
Sound Quality: VERY GOOD
The sound is rich and warm. The sound reproduction that comes from the thick vinyl of these early UK pressings is virtually unmatched by all other forms of players. That being said, the imperfections on the vinyl do cause some pops and background noise that disturb the playing slightly. Note that some tracks are slightly worse than others.
Cover: VERY GOOD
This is a first issue cover with a flip-in sleeve, and top opening pockets. The seams and corners are bumped slightly, and there is a ring. That being said, it is still a solid example. The inside gatefold looks quite nice.
The spine is creased and worn, but the lettering is still legible!
Inner Sleeves: VERY GOOD MINUS
One has a split on the bottom, the other a split on the side.
