THE BEATLES

 "THE BEATLES-KNOWN AS THE WHITE ALBUM"

AN ORIGINAL MONO FIRST EDITION UK EMI PRESSED APPLE LABELS DOUBLE LP WITH THE"SOLD IN THE UK TEXT"LABELS HOUSED IN TOP OPENING LAMINATED AND NUMBERED COVER.THE NUMBER IS 0146119.

TATTY BUT ORIGINAL BLACK INNERS.

THE LYRIC/PHOTO POSTER IS IN SUPERB CONDITION BUT THERE ARE NO A4 PHOTOS.

A PREVIOUS OWNER'S NAME IN BIRO ON THE SIDE ONE AND SIDE THREE LABELS. 

THE RECORDS ARE NOT UP TO MY USUAL HIGH STANDARD BUT PLAY VERY WELL WITH VARIOUS FAULTS,FULLY DESCRIBED BELOW BUT NO JUMPS OR STICKS AND THE NUMBERED COVER AND POSTER ARE BOTH IN GREAT SHAPE SO IT MIGHT BE IDEAL FOR A MIX AND MATCH IF YOUR COVER IS POOR.

MAYBE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR A YOUNGER COLLECTOR OR A COLLECTOR ON A TIGHT BUDGET TO HEAR AND OWN THIS ALBUM IN IT'S SOLID AND PUNCHY MONO MIXES-IN MANY CASES FAR DIFFERENT AND EVEN BETTER THAN THE STEREO ONES! 

This was a Big selling album at the time but even in 1968,most fans had stereo equipment-almost every set I find in MONO is FAR,FAR WORSE THAN THIS SET!   

PLEASE READ THE GRADING DESCRIPTION VERY CAREFULLY ON THIS PAIR WHICH IS WAY BELOW MY USUAL HIGH STANDARDS BUT MOST BE WELL WORTH IT AS A GAP FILLER UNTIL A BETTER SET COMES ALONG WHICH MAY BE AN EXPENSIVE AND RARE CHANCE TO HAPPEN.  

THE DISCS HAVE A NUMBER OF MARKS BUT ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE AND SOME CLICKS,SOME SLIGHT DISTORTION AT A FEW OF THE PEAKS ,THE SET GENERALLY PLAYS REALLY WELL WITH LOTS OF DEEP BASS AND OF COURSE THE LOUDNESS OF THE MUSIC COVERS UP MOST OF THE SURFACE NOISE.

THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE SOUND FAULTS ARE ON THE FIRST SIDE!!!!

OK HERE ARE THE VARIOUS SOUND FAULTS TO NOTE:

BACK IN THE USSR:A CLICK SOUNDS FOR MOST OF THE TRACK BUT THE MUSIC OVERLAPS MUCH OF IT+THERE IS A SURFACE"PATCH"WHICH SOUNDS TOWARDS THE END OF THE TRACK.

THE SURFACE PATCH ON MOST OF SIDE ONE CAN BE HEARD THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE TRACK"DEAR PRUDENCE",THE END OF"GLASS ONION",THE START OF"OB LA DI" AND THE VERY END OF"WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS".THERE IS ALSO A SHORT LIVED CLICK AT THE START OF"WEEPS".

A CLICK SOUNDS AT THE VERY START OF"I'M SO TIRED"

SOME DISTORTION AT THE SOUND PEAKS OF THE TRACKS"BLACK BIRD"AND "HONEY PIE".

APART FROM THE SLIGHT POP AND ISOLATED CLICK ON OTHER TRACKS,THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE ON THE REST OF THE SET!

YOU MIGHT HAVE A DECENT DISC ONE TO SWOP! 

I PLAYED IT THROUGH ON TWO DIFFERENT DECKS ABOUT 4 TIMES AND TAKING ALL OF THE ABOVE IT PLAYS REALLY WELL,FAR BETTER THAN THE INITIAL INSPECTION WOULD SUGGEST!

NORMALLY SUCH COPIES ARE PUT OUT BY IN MY SHOP AT THE VERY REALISTIC AND LOW STARTING PRICE OF JUST £20, BUT AS EXCELLENT OR EVEN NEAR MINT MONO SETS ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND,FETCHING AT LEAST £100,I CONSIDER THIS SET TO BE WELL WORTH HAVING IN THE MEANTIME AND IN BETWEEN TIME!!!

FAR BETTER THAN NOTHING AND WITH A VERY TEMPTING AND REALISTIC £20 START!

JUST TO HAVE THE NUMBERED COVER AND A CLEAN POSTER IS WELL WORTH TWENTY QUID!!   

Here is your chance to get one of the rarest BEATLES LPs IN THE MUCH SOUGHT AFTER MONO EDITION! 

THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER HAS SOME CREASES,SOME RING WEAR STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS!

COULD BE A GREAT INVESTMENT EVEN IN THIS CONDITION!  

 MOST WERE OFTEN PLAYED ON POOR QUALITY EQUIPMENT AND A FAVOURITE FOR PARTIES TO SATISFY DIFFERENT MOODS!

THE TRACKS ARE NOT LISTED AS THE MAJORITY OF YOU SHOULD KNOW AND OF COURSE THERE ARE SELLERS WHO LIST THEM AND EVEN WASTE TIME AND ELECTRICITY PRINTING LYRICS AND BAND LIFE HISTORIES!!
