An original 1st press of the WHITE ALBUM and would have been available for sale in Nov/Dec 1968. Matrix 1/1/1/1. Stampers 4MT/4OM/4GGP/1OG. Please note the labels exhibit the 'Sold In The UK..' statement and that singles this LP out as a genuine 1st press. The heavy set vinyl comes housed in a top-loading original stereo Garrod & Lofthouse numbered cover..."0393068". Also included is the poster/lyric sheet, THREE [of the four..Lennon has gone walkies] original high quality photos, and both black Apple inner sleeves. So, this example is 100% genuine and 99% complete...and this is a superbly preserved copy so read on.....>>>
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) In fantastic condition and has only seen light use. Under close inspection we could only make out a couple of light marks either side - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals a mostly EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Now, don't underestimate a grading like this...This is not a throw away Ex+...this is proper grading with NO HYPE. A true grading at this level is very difficult to find on an original white album. We are effectively saying it is great all the way through. Beautiful tonal balance and incredible transparency. I'm pleased to report that interference is both minor and infrequent. All we could detect was a touch of light static momentarily in a few isolated spots [e.g. Revoution 9]. But other than that, nothing but pure unadulterated EMI mono of a high standard. Many tracks on the White Album are very low-key acoustic numbers and interference can easily start to influence the audio. Thankfully this example really is a very well preserved clean copy...
Cover (Ex) Wow..most copies are showing quite a bit of ageing by this time, but this copy really has been looked after. It is lovely and white front and back with only the light ageing at the extremities and some very light indentations. Edge wear is light and the text on the spine is still legible. The interior is in immaculate condition. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity and it is difficult to imagine going much better.
Lyric/poster (Ex-) Very nice condition and does not seem to have aged. A couple of seam splits - nothing critical.
Photos (Ex-) Very nice condition with a couple of creases in the top-right.
Inners (Vg+) No edge splits. But there are a few tears around the circular openings - and these have been tape repaired.


Any purchase is guaranteed to get to you quickly, safely, and with total satisfaction, or your money back.
