Condition:

Vinyl/Labels : VG
There are visible hairlines/surface marks, especially visible under a harsh light. The LP is play-tested throughout on my Goldring GL 75 transcription turntable, and I can confirm that all sides play to a strong Very Good standard, with minimal background, and the odd isolated tic here and there, but nothing to detract from overall listening pleasure. No sticks/jumps - a very respectable original 1st press White Album. The labels are in VG condition, but the initials AW are written in pen on sides 1 & 3.


 Fully Laminated, Top-loading, Numbered Gatefold Sleeve, with Inner Flipbacks: VG
There is some wear to the spine but "The BEATLES" can still be made out. There a few small, light creases and some light ring wear. There is old sellotape residue marks (but no sellotape) along the top edge.

Original Black Inners: Good
The previous owner has sellotaped the edges, which could be removed, with care. There are a few small tears at the die-cut opening, and some light creasing.

Poster: Good
Moderate "foxing"/discolouration, and there are small amounts of sellotape at seam folds, to protect it from tearing. 

4 x Photo Prints: VG
There are sellotape residue marks at the corners. The Prints are in otherwise lovely condition, no tears/creases.




Important Information:
Postage & Packaging
Records are packaged safely using strong stiff cardboard and extra bubble wrap to ensure they arrive in the same condition as in my description. I also remove record from outer sleeve and original inner sleeves, to prevent seam splits. I am a record collector myself and understand the importance of safe packaging to ensure safe delivery.
:Please note:
Postage prices will be greatly reduced if buying more than one record. In fact, if UK buyers buy three LPs, the postage is the same price as for posting one LP. Overseas buyers can also expect a much reduced rate when combining postage. 


Good luck and happy bidding!

N.B.  There is an error in the description where we state it is a 1st pressing of the LP. It is however, an original 1960s Mono, numbered edition, in the top-loading sleeve.
