---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both discs have the insanely rare 'A' master stamp in the wax which is an extremely early press, and perhaps one of the earliest Beatles White Albums known to exist today.
All 'A' master stamps below A34 were destroyed because George Harrison didn't like the sound, which would make this A34 the very first released. It's extremely rare to have a disc with both A and B master stamps, which both of these discs have. You may never see this again anywhere. It's very interesting so for your own edification, research it. As you'll see with most later White Albums, the Master Stamps usually begin with 'J'
In 2017, I spoke with Bruce Spizer about the destroyed Master Stamps and he said to me:
"The albums with master numbers below A34 were from Capitol's original
mastering of the album. When George heard what Capitol had done, he
insisted that the album be remastered. Capitol was instructed to destroy
all master stamp numbers from 1-33 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please read everything carefully below so you know exactly the rarity you are buying.
Original 1968 U.S.
first pressing of The Beatles 'White Album'. This is the very 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. Records are in fair/good condition, and because this is perhaps the oldest and earliest of all the White Albums known to exist, they do show play, so for your listening pleasure, I will include a second set of *MINT* Pristine discs, for you to play and enjoy, while keeping your incredibly rare 'A' Masters stored away to increase in value. So you will receive the rare 'A' Master Stamp LPs, plus a second set of rare White Album discs which are glossy, and in *MINT* *PRISTINE* condition, for you to listen to and enjoy, while keeping the rare 'A' Masters tucked away, safe and sound. You don't want to miss this one as 'A' Masters are rarely ever seen !! If you do some reseach, you'll see how rare.
Labels are absolutely Pristine with NO writing and NO marks. Poster is MINT with no splits. ALL 4 ORIGINAL heavy stock portrait photos are MINT !! The outer spine is in MINT condition, as is the inner spine. There is a GORGEOUS high glossy shine on this amazing NM cover, with NO SPLITS, NO tape, NO writing, NO stickers, and NO RING WEAR. NO WRITING on any of the record labels, and NO WRITING on the sleeve anywhere !! Original inner sleeves are present and the nicest I've ever seen which is so rare.. Has all 4 color portraits which are MINT original as well as the MINT original poster.
Very
few White Albums are perfect. The cardboard used in the making of The
White Album was extremely poor and susceptible to the seams easily
separating and the spines just disintegrating. Most of you who look to
buy this treasure know that 95% of White Albums still in circulation are
very weak at best. This is you chance to purchase one that has stood
the test of time, and is absolutely exceptionally Near Mint/Mint, which
is so rare to find some 50 years later !!
ALL the photos you see above are of the EXACT treasures you will receive !! You really don't want to miss this one, as White Albums this amazing, with ALL rare 7 errors, with NO seam splits, with all 4 MINT Original pristine heavy photos plus original MINT poster, rarely if ever comes along, with both sides having the insanely rare 'A' master stamp.
Here are all 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
When you look at others for sale, make sure error #7 is among them !!
