------------------------------------------------------------
THE BEATLES White Album 2-LP Gatefold vinyl set 1968 SWBO-1-101 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preserve, protect and organize. Three words every collectors strives for. I have devised a solution. I will ship every White Album I sell where each LP will come in it's own white cardboard sleeve that is stamped with the same serial number that is on the White Album you are purchasing. Additionally, each record will be put in a paper/poly sleeve for easy identification, and also stamped with the same number as your White Album. This will keep your original Apple cover from seam splittings and preserve it for many years to come !! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please read everything carefully below so you know exactly the rarity you are buying.

Embossed and low numbered 1368917 Original 1968 U.S. Scranton first pressing of The Beatles 'White Album'. This is the rare and highly sought after pressing containing all 7 printing errors on the labels. Upon release of the album, John Lennon noticed these mistakes and had them corrected immediately on future pressings but not before some of these extremely rare error copies had already entered the marketplace. Extremely glossy VG+/EX LPs with a few minor hairlines, no scuffs. Only 1 scratch, it's on side 4 (see photo...DNAP). I would rate the LPs NM if not for that lone scratch. They are really exceptional. Labels are NM with NO writing and NO stickers. Poster is EX and ALL 4 ORIGINAL heavy stock portrait photos are MINT !! The inner/outer spines are in EX condition. Nice glossy shine on this amazing EX/NM cover, showing no seam splits, NO writing, NO stickers, and no rips/tears. Top right corner shows a minor bend. NO WRITING on any of the record labels, and NO WRITING on the sleeve anywhere.

This is as nice as you'll see for sale, at this price. ALL the photos you see are completely undoctored and free from any Photoshop, and are of the EXACT treasures you will receive !! You really don't want to miss this one, as White Albums with these rare 7 errors, EX/NM cover, all 4 NM Original photos and EX original poster with lyrics, rarely come along !! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wax Etchings:
Side 1: SWBO-1-101-J46 #4 △(Scranton pressing with IAM triangle)
Side 2: SWBO-2-101-J45           △(Scranton pressing with IAM triangle)
Side 3: SWBO-3-101-J47 "    △(Scranton pressing with IAM triangle)
Side 4: SWBO-4-101-J44 "    △(Scranton pressing with IAM triangle)
A look at the dead wax non-grooved part (next to the label) of a Beatles Capitol record from the 1960s reveals a tiny triangle △ with the letters “IAM” etched into the vinyl. The letters stand for the International Association of Machinists, the union that represented workers at the plant. The union actually got the right to etch that symbol into the records as part of a new labor contract finalized in July 1962.


Here are all the 7 song errors on the labels:
1. "Bungalow Bill" instead of "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill"
2. "Obladi Oblada" instead of "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da"
3. "Rocky Racoon", missing the second "C" in Raccoon
4. "Goodnight" instead of "Good Night"
5. "Revolution No. 1" instead of "Revolution 1"
6. "Revolution No. 9" instead of "Revolution 9"
7. "Why Don't we do it in the road" without the question mark (?)
Error #7 without the question mark, is the rarest of all the 7
These are RARE, but If you can find others for sale, make sure error #7 is among them !! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 amount numbers 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.

Copies 590,000 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 past 2,000,000 are prefixed with an 'A' but it's a thinner 'A' than 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.

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