Insanely Rare Original A-28 Matrix '68 Pressing Of 'The Lost Harrison Compressed White Album' aka The Beatles White Album

Here's a rare opportunity to own the record that George Harrison didn't want you to hear!  A record so rare, there are less then a handful confirmed copies in existence. As the story goes, just prior to the release of 'The Beatles' self-titled double LP, universally known as 'The White Album', George Harrison flew out to Los Angeles, and while there, he visited Capitol Records LA plant to listen to advance pressings of the record. He was horrified by what he heard. The album had compression and limitations added which altered the sound of what The Beatles' had intended and George set about remastering the entire album. The first set of lacquers (33 in total) that were used to press the albums were ordered to all be destroyed along with any records that may have been pressed. That, it would seem, was that...except…a couple copies of the rejected album mistakenly leaked out. The way to discern this is by checking the matrix in the run-out groove for a number lower than 34. No copies of this pressing were known to exist prior to 2007.  Less then 3 have been discovered in the intervening years. Here's your chance to own one of them. This album up for auction has the following matrix numbers: A28 B28 A28 A28. There has only been one other with this many A28 matrix numbers known to exist.

This pressing is from the Scranton PA plant. The original plates were used to press this record, BEFORE Capitol recalled mother
plates 01 - 33. That any A28 mother plates existed and were not destroyed as instructed, were unknown to exist until 2007...
This is arguably the most important Beatles White Album ever to turn up. This could very well end up in a museum one day !

I personally corresponded with Bruce Spizer a few years ago, and he did confirm to me that this is in fact one of the very few known Lost Harrison Compressed White Albums known to exist, and was indeed pressed before all the early masters were to be destroyed.
Bruce Spizer said to me:
"The albums with master numbers 28 or 29 (or any number below 34 if they ever existed) were from Capitol's original mastering of the album pressed at the Scranton plant. When George heard what Capitol had done, he insisted that the album be totally remastered. Capitol was suppose to destroy master numbers 1-33, but we now know that some 28-29 masters were not destroyed. At the time the price guide was written, only ONE of these rare masters had been confirmed"

Excerpts from Bruce Spizer:
All of this is detailed in my book "The Beatles on Apple Records" on page
118. At the time I wrote the book, I stated that there were never any numbers below
A34 cut at the Capitol Tower because all of these lacquers were destroyed. A few
years ago, someone had me examine a White Album with A28, B29, A28 and B29
for sides one through four. This was proof that not all lacquers 01 to 33 were
destroyed. These discs sound slightly different that the White Album we all
know and love. It is not a dramatic difference because the lacquers were cut
from the same master tape. We did a digital wave comparison of the discs
with A28 & B29 to a standard White Album. The difference is clearly visible.
You can see the compression on the original Capitol master. The digital wave
comparison appears on page 270 of my latest book, "The Beatles Swan Song:
"She Loves You" and Other Records." In addition, a lacquer of side one of
The White Album has recently turned up that further confirms Harrison's
remastering. The lacquer was cut at Sound Recorders Studio, 6226 Yucca,
Hollywood, CA, which is just around the corner from the Capitol Tower. An
image of the lacquer is in my Swan book, also on page 270. This is one of
the lacquers cut under Harrison's supervision. Ken Mansfield confirms that
Harrison went to that studio for the initial remastering. Obviously, the
lacquers used to cut the album were done at the Tower, as evidenced by the A and B lathe numbers.
I hope that this proves, once and for all, that the Harrison remaster story is not a myth, and is in fact true.
Bruce Spizer also writes about this rare version in his book The Beatles on Apple Records:
"George Harrison, along with Mal Evans, were in Los Angeles to produce Jackie Lomax's upcoming Apple album. He dropped by the Capitol Tower to hear the White Album. He had left London for LA prior to the banding session during which the order of the songs was selected for The White Album, and wanted to hear the finished product. He did not like what he heard and insisted that he be allowed to work with Capitol's engineers to remaster the album.

This story is told by Mal Evans in an issue of The Beatles Book (the official Beatles Fan Club monthly publication) in which he states that Capitol's engineers had "done all sorts of technical things to it that altered half the effects." As was often the practice at the time, Capitols engineers had run the sound through a limiter and compressed the volume range of the recording by cutting back the high volume peaks and bringing up the low passages. This would have been particularly noticeable on 'Helter Skelter' a loud rocker with a fake fade-out ending, and Harrison's "Long, Long, Long," which has quiet passages throughout and loud distortion at the end."
So, the album was saved and sounded like George Harrison wanted it to sound. It was released in the UK on 22 November 1968, and three days later in the United States. However, it seems a few of the U.S. albums had been pressed using Capitol's compressed master by mistake. In Perry Cox' 2007 book, one such copy of the album was described: "this variant has lacquer numbers in the trail off area ending in numbers LESS than 34.  These records were pressed with metal parts generated from the initial 33 lacquers, which were supposed to be destroyed. George Harrison objected to the use of a limiter that had compressed the sound during the mastering process. He insisted that the initial lacquers be destroyed and that the album be remastered. Harrison's remastered version is found on standard copies of the album which have lacquer numbers 34 or higher. Only one copy, which is a VG- condition Scranton pressing with lacquer numbers A-28 and B-29, has been confirmed and thought there may be only one or two others out there."

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a very rare part of Beatles history not often seen, or offered for sale anywhere in the world. Look at the photo of the A28 matrix on side one, something you may have never seen before, and may never see again in your lifetime.

I know it's worth more the I have it listed for, but I'm hoping it ends up in the hands of a true Beatles fan, rather then in a museum !!
Don't miss this opportunity for you will kick yourself when it's gone forever !!

Here's very invaluable information on how The Beatles White Albums were numbered, and the meaning behind all the sequences...

The first 25 White Albums were numbered with an “A” prefix and then a series of zeros preceding the number (e.g. A0000009). There are always seven digits following the “A” so if it was a single digit number it would be preceded by six zeroes or if it was a two digit number it would be preceded by five zeroes. It is not known what the “A” was indicative of (it may mean “printed in America” or “Apple” but neither is confirmed).

Numbers 26-99 were three digit numbers preceded with a zero and no prefix.

Numbers 100 through approximately 209,999 were preceded with the correct number of zeroes to make them a seven digit number (with no letter prefix)
Beginning around 210,000 to up near 590,000, they were preceded by a zero and had an 'A' prefix.

Later copies up to about 1,350,000 remain at seven digits using a leading zero if necessary and are prefixed with a large dot.

The next batch from 1,350,000 up to some point around 2,000,000 are prefixed with an “A” but it's a thinner “A” then used earlier.

From 2,000,000 to around 2,250,000 some are prefixed with a large dot and some with the “A”

From 2,250,000 up to 3,000,000 the numbers are prefixed with the abbreviation for number (i.e. “No.”). On some of these the “o” in “No.” is raised with the period below it instead of beside it, and some with a large 'A'.

For the final numbers over 3,000,000 the numbers are prefixed with a wide “A"
