Description

This is an extremely rare “compressed” US version of the Beatles White Album! The real deal, identified by all four numbers of the runout area ending in numbers under 34. All four sides of this copy’s runouts match the correct description of the true 1st press compressed version. This copy was pressed at Pennsylvania’s Scranton pressing plant, identified by the triangle with “IAM” in the runouts (please see all photos). Serious offers will be considered. Don’t miss out on owning an incredibly rare piece of Beatles history!

Conditions are as follows:


Records: VG++ / Excellent

•All four sides are glossy with very light signs of use. No scratches that are even close to being felt, only a handful of very light hairlines in areas.

•Plays beautifully and compressed as it should with little to no noise/pops.

•The labels are clean.

•They are housed in new anti static inner sleeves and the original sleeves are included.

•The records have been ultra-sonically cleaned.


*It needs to be mentioned that on A2, Dear Prudence, there are several loud tics (8 rotations to be exact) due to a surface mark. It plays through without skipping. It could possibly be repaired but I haven’t tried to do much to it besides clean. I’ve included an image and a link to the audio clip below of this to be completely clear. Everything else besides this is VG++/EX.
