Description
Artist : THE BEATLES
LP Title : The Beatles (aka 'The White Album')
Label : Apple / PMC 7067-8 / 1968 MONO
Matrix Numbers : XEX 709-1 [stamper 3 , LP] / XEX 710-1 [stamper 3 , GGO] / XEX 711-1 [stamper 3 , PA] / XEX 712-1 [stamper 2 , PT]
Notes : First Mono pressing with 'Sold in UK...' and '(P) 1968' text in label centres, but without 'An E.M.I. Recording' text, all Harrison or Starkey compositions are credited to 'Apple Publishing Ltd.'.
Fully laminated thick card Garrod & Lofthouse top-opening gatefold sleeve with visible flipbacks inside. Embossed 'The Beatles' title on the front along with album No. 0028143 in bottom right corner. Unfortunately there are no inserts at all, and the vinyl is housed in plain white inner sleeves not the correct black ones.
Condition : The vinyl is a little dusty and has a lot of marking, though the records do still play through and the music manages to shine through the crackling and intererence.
The labels show some wear and two of them have the original owners initials written on them in blue biro.
The sleeve has a lot of rubbing to the corners and general edge wear, and some more across the opening edges. There is a blemish in the top right corner of the front where a price sticker has been removed, there are a couple of little blue-ish marks on the front embossed title (which appear to be underneath the laminate) and on the bottom edge just left of the album number is the outline of a stain which also exists on the other side (inside the gatefold).
So there you have it, certainly not the best example you will find, but still an early Mono pressing, with a sought after low numbered sleeve.
Unless otherwise noted above, vinyl grading is visual only - please ask if you require any further information or extra photographs.
