This album is one of three Limited Edition Beatles albums I purchased from a Denver record store in the mid 1990s at the behest of my daughter who was working there.  Until this past month all three have been stored away, so when I say the condition of each is mint, they are indeed that.  This one bears the trademarks of  Capitol Records and Apple Records.  The identifying number is C1 0777 7 46443 1 0.  “The Beatles” title is in very small lettering imprinted on the spine of the album, and other than numbers is the only identifying mark as to the contents.  I understand that this two record album came with a poster and four photos of the  musicians, but as the package is sealed and has not been opened I cannot attest to the contents of this album; its weight, however, is 1 pound 1.0 ounce.  As to the songs on the two vinyl discs, based upon my internet search, they are:  Back in the U.S.S.R., Dear Prudence, Glass Onion, Ob-La-Di..Ob-La-Di, Wild Honey Pie, The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness Is Warm, Martha My Dear, I’m So Tired, Blackbird, Piggies, Rocky Raccoon, Don’t Pass Me By, Why Don’t We Do It In The Road, I Will, Julia, Birthday, Yer Blues, Mother Nature’s Son, Everybody’s Got Something To Hide…Except Me And My Monkey, Sexy Sadie, Helter Skelter, Long..Long..Long, Revolution 1, Honey Pie, Savoy Truffle, Cry Baby Cry, and Revolution 9.
I have listed the other two albums: Rubber Soul and Please Please Me.  I am to combine happy shipping for multiple purchases and welcome international bidders, but please check with me regarding international shipping costs before bidding.

NEW INFORMATION 1/23/2014

I am not positive that this album is mono, and I suppose the only way to be sure is to take the records out...which I will not do, and if a buyer does so and finds the records to not be mono, I cannot issue a refund.  I believe the 1968 pressings were both stereo and mono.  I purchased the 3 albums at the same time as "Rubber Soul" and "Please Please Me": "Soul was identified as stereo and "Please" as mono on their covers, but White Album has no identification on its cover either way.  I have tried to find some pertinent information on the web asking the question, but have not found an answer.  I do know that the album is not an original 1968 because of the "Limited Edition" label, and a bar code on the back.  Perhaps I should continue research and remove the listing until I can verify either way.  Thank you.he Beatles i

 The album was written and recorded during a period of turmoil for the group, after visiting the in and having a particularly productive songwriting session in early 1968. Returning to the studio, the group recorded from May to October 1968, only to have conflict and dissent drive the group members apart. quit the band for a brief time, leaving to play drums on two tracks.
