Description
This record is from my own personal collection.
?This is the finest Beatles White album UK copy that I personally have ever owned. Very high end indeed.
I Purchased this album 6 months ago from a gentleman in England who was the original owner of this LP. He had Purchased it on the first day of release of the white album back in 1968 and had kept and took great care of it as you can see. A very well preserved copy. Even while you hold it in your hands it feels as if it was made yesterday. It still has a little bit of stiffness in the spine area when you open the gatefold like a new one would have in 1968.
The jacket:
The jacket itself is an incredible condition for its age. No stains,ink , major creases, Bends, or separations. A very high glossy lamination is still present. There is a total of three impression wrinkles on the entire jacket. Each wrinkle measures around 1 inch long give or take a centimeter. One wrinkle is on the back. The second wrinkle is on the bottom arising from the edge of the gate folder. The third is on the top front of the jacket. These are very minimal and do not affect the appeal of the jacket whatsoever. I want to be very particular and describe every possible flaw accurately. There are two tiny black dots on the front of the gatefold that you can see in the pictures. These two spots are actually underneath the laminate and were put there during the Printing process of the jacket. Adds a little character! The four corners of the jacket or nice and strong as seen in the pictures. The edges are strong and sharp. The inside gate fold looks beautiful, No flaws.
Records:
At first glance the records look brand new and unplayed. Under direct sunlight, a few hairlines and some paper scuffing is revealed, I suppose being that they were kept inside the original black inner paper sleeves. There is one tiny little scratch that can be seen on side one of Rocky raccoon. It measures Around half a centimeter. While listening to the song, a possible very vague tick might possibly be heard three or four times only but it’s very minimal and almost not worth mentioning. Again, I’m being very descriptive of any flaws. I would grade the records at a strong VG++. The labels themselves look great as you can see in the pictures.
Stampers:
Side one- LL 5
Side two- LD 7
Side three- RM 1
Side four- TA 2
Inserts:
The inserts themselves look wonderful. Just two vague corner Bends on the top left of Paul. The inner poster looks great. No tears, writing or major flaws. Just the normal impressions from being handled from time to time. The black inner sleeves are the originals. They look to be in fantastic shape.
