HERE’S YOUR CHANCE TO SCORE A ONE-OWNER, LIMITED EDITION 1982 RED VINYL JAPANESE PRESSING OF THE BEATLES WHITE ALBUM STILL IN THE SHRINK IN GEM MINT CONDITION.

100% AUTHENTIC! NOT A REISSUE! NOT A REPRODUCTION!

NOT A LATER PRESSING!

I PLAYED THIS ALBUM ONLY ONE TIME TO TAPE IT BACK IN THE DAY. IT HASN’T BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE PROTECTIVE COVER IN ALMOST 40 YEARS EXCEPT TO PHOTOGRAPH IT.

TOP TO BOTTON, EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS COPY IS IN FLAWLESS, PERFECT,

PRISTINE GEM MINT 10 CONDITION.

THE COVER, THE OBI, THE DISCS, THE LABELS, THE JAPANESE FOLD-OUT LYRIC SHEET, THE POSTER, AND THE FOUR BEATLES PORTRAITS ARE STORE FRESH NEW.

EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SOME TEARS IN THE VERY THIN SHRINK, THERE IS ZERO WEAR OR

ZERO YELLOWING TO THE COVER. 

BOTH FRONT AND BACK COVER ARE COMPLETELY SNOW WHITE.

NOTE: Anything that looks yellowed or aged are just shadows from the lighting

ALL SEAMS, THE SPINE, AND THE CORNERS ARE RAZOR SHARP AND PERFECT.

NOT EVEN A HINT OF RECORD IMPRESSION TO THE COVER.

THIS DISC IS ESSENTIAL FOR SEVERAL REASONS:

1) IT WAS CUT FROM THE ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO MASTER, WITHOUT

ANY REMASTERING, REMIXING OR DIGITAL ENHANCEMENT.

2) IT CONTAINS AT LEAST 11 (SOME SAY MORE) DOCUMENTED

MIX DIFFERENCES FROM THE US STEREO VERSION.

3) JAPANESE PRESSINGS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR  EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH FIDELITY.

ONE OTHER THING TO NOTE: BOTH THE POSTER AND THE BEATLES PORTRAITS ARE

PRINTED ON MUCH HEAVIER PAPER STOCK THAN THE US STEREO RELEASE.

A STILL SEALED COPY OF THIS LP WITH THE SAME “TYPED” HYPE STICKER ON THE SHRINK

SOLD IN JUNE FOR $410, AND ON DISCOGS OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE WANT TO ADD

THIS SET TO THEIR COLLECTION.

SO UNLESS YOU FIND AN ORIGINAL UK PRESSING, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY

TO HEAR IT AS THE BEATLES AND GEORGE MARTIN INTENDED. 

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS! JUST ASK!

WOULD MAKE A GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT FOR THE BEATLES FAN IN YOUR LIFE!

$20 flat-rate, even though it usually costs around $40 to ship LPs this way. If this bothers you, don’t bid. 

As a serious collector for decades, I know how to ship items so they arrive safely. Will be carefully packed in a proper LP mailer with cardboard inserts and bubble wrap, encased in a resealable sleeve, and then again in a 4mil Mylar Sleeve.

ABOUT ME:

I’m primarily a buyer on eBay, but in the past have sold rare records, vintage guitars, and vintage recording studio equipment in excess of $10,000. Check out my recent feedback for several other rare records I’ve sold.
