The Beatles – The White Album – 1968 Scranton “IAM” Pressing – Poster & Photos
Original 1968 U.S. pressing of The Beatles' self-titled double album, commonly known as The White Album, pressed at the Capitol Records plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania. This pressing is identified by the distinctive “IAM” triangle logo found in the runout area of records pressed at the Scranton facility.
Released in November 1968, The Beatles—better known as The White Album—is one of the most influential and collectible albums in popular music history. The sprawling double album showcases the band at an especially creative period, spanning rock, blues, folk, experimental music, and acoustic songwriting.
Original copies were packaged with several distinctive pieces of artwork and memorabilia. This example includes the original fold-out lyric poster and all four individual Beatles portrait photographs.
