Description
The Beatles - White Album (UK 2 x Stereo Vinyl LP Top Opening + all inserts)
Original UK Numbered Stereo Vinyl Pressing in great condition. This copy is numbered 0332812.
Includes 4 glossy photographs of each band member, a double-sided poster and black inner sleeves.
Embossed lettering (The Beatles) on the top-opening laminated gatefold cover.
'Sold in the UK. subject to resale price conditions, see price lists' on the labels.
"Stereo" printed on the top right of the back cover.
The Vinyl is in Excellent condition overall with a glossy sheen and great audio. Side 1 has one pop at the very start of track 1 but after this the rest of the side is excellent. Side 2 has a very small surface mark which produces a few light clicks at the very start of track 1 but again the rest of the side is excellent. Side 3 has a small feelable mark at the beginning of track 1 which only produces a few audible clicks at the start of "Birthday" but the rest of the side is excellent. Side 4 has a couple of hairlines and a few very light crackles during some of the quieter passages. Overall, both LPs look and play as excellent.
The laminated gatefold sleeve is in Excellent+ condition. Glossy laminate and clean, unmarked spine and bottom and right hand edges. There is just one tiny pinch mark near the top edge on the front cover and some faint rubbing on the top of the back cover. The inside of the gatefold is near mint. This LP has been carefully stored from new.
The photos are all in Near Mint condition.
The poster is in Excellent condition. It has never been wall mounted. There are a few very light spots of foxing on a few of the edges and a couple of the creases but there are no tears.
All the labels are clean and unmarked.
The original black paper die-cut inner sleeves are in Excellent condition with no seam splits.

ALL THE ALBUMS I SELL ARE VERY SECURELY PACKAGED WITH STIFFENERS AND NEW PLASTIC SLEEVES. I ALWAYS PLACE THE RECORD OUTSIDE THE OUTER SLEEVE TO ENSURE THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE SLEEVE IN TRANSIT. I ONLY USE THE HIGHEST GRADE PACKAGING TO ENSURE THE RECORDS ARRIVE IN THE CONDITION I STATE IN MY LISTINGS.
Grading
I grade all my records using the Record Collector's Grading System which is as follows:
Mint - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent - The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits discoloration etc.
Fair - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise: it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/ or defaced.
Poor - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
