THE BEATLES

The Beatles (The White Album)

Apple SMO-2051 (German, 2-LPs, stereo)

 

This is the original German pressing No. 0136938. The jacket pockets open at the top. This album includes the black inner sleeves but does not include any of the inserts.

The photos of the cover and the label on the left are of the items for sale in this ad. These photos are part of the description of the item for sale. Use the description assigned the jacket and the record below and compare them to what you see in the photos. What you see is what you get when you order this record. 

 

GRADING THIS RECORD

:

Jacket/cover visual assessment: The jacket is flat with reasonably squared corners and retains most of the luster on the front cover. There is some wear on the covers. There is damage to the spine: the second photo I have included here shows about three-inches (3") of seam-splitting. The rest of the dark on the otherwise intact spine is just shadow.

Record visual grade: The records have obviously been played: there are paper scuffs and surface scratches but no major damage!

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU BUY THIS RECORD!

SO YOU WANT TO MAKE AN OFFER?

Records that do not sell at auction will usually relisted with a Buy It Now price, where I will consider reasonable offers below the asking price on some items. I am especially receptive (and flexible) to offers if you buy more than two records! Ebay just raised the amount of items that I can list, so I will be adding several hundred more records in the next few weeks. 

MY BACKGROUND

:

My name is Neal Umphred. For those eBayers who are unfamiliar with my name, I am the author of the original line of Goldmine price guides for record collectors, which were published way back in the 20th century. I have also been selling collectable records in the mail for more than thirty years, starting in Goldmine magazine where I advertised as Pet Sounds Records.

MY BOOKS:

In the late 1980s, I teamed up with Goldmine magazine and created a series of price guides for record collectors. These books made vast, fundamental changes in several aspects of the hobby—notably the values assigned both common and rare records, and in how those records were graded. My three titles were Goldmine's Price Guide To Collectible Record Albums, Goldmine's Price Guide To Collectible Jazz Albums, and Goldmine's Rock 'n Roll 45RPM Price Guide. 

I have included a link to the primary book: . I list them here as bonafides for my position as a seller on eBay and to selflessly promote myself and my blogs (below)!

MY BLOGS:

Right now I am writing and running several blogs—as none of them are commercial sites, none of them compete in any way with eBay. I currently have sites: Neal Umphred Dot Com addresses anything that I want to write about,from anecdotes to book and movies reviews to jokes to politics and current vents. Elvis – A Touch Of Gold addresses collecting records and memorabilia by Mr. Presley. The site that would interest most record collectors is this one:

 contains articles on popular music, especially sixties rock and soul; record collecting in general, including tips on grading and buying and selling records in the mail; and anything peripheral that I consider relevant (like underground newspapers of the late 1960s and early '70s).

YOUR FEEDBACK IS GREATLY APPRECIATED
What every eBay seller needs is positive feedback with five-stars!
