Description
Apple Records "THE BEATLES"
This is an original 1st pressing of The Beatles album (White Album) with all of the 7 song title spelling errors on the labels.
SO WHAT IS A "7 ERRORS" COPY OF THE WHITE ALBUM???
The story goes that in the fall of 1968, shortly after the White Album was released, John Lennon was given a copy of the US edition and flagged SEVEN ERRORS he found in the song titles.
They are, as follows: Side 1: Obladi Oblada (As opposed to: Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da)
Side 1: Bungalow Bill (As opposed to: The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill)
Side 2: Rocky Racoon (As opposed to: Rocky Raccoon)
Side 2: Why Don’t We Do it in the Road (As opposed to: Why Don’t We Do it in the Road?)
Side 4: Revolution No. 1 (As opposed to: Revolution 1)
Side 4: Revolution No. 9 (As opposed to: Revolution 9)
Side 4: Goodnight (As opposed to Good Night)
The labels on all US pressings were amended very quickly afterwards making these first US editions with all 7 Errors very rare and collectable.
