No White Album is perfect, but this one is exceptional. The cardboard used in the making of The White Album was extremely poor and susceptible to the seams easily separating, fading, soiling, ring wear, and both of the spines just disintegrating. Most of you who look to buy these treasures know that 99% of White Albums in circulation are weak at best. This is your chance to purchase an outstanding White Album as the front cover is EX with , NO ring wear, NO seam splits showing, NO writing, NO stickers with strong spines, which is so very impossible to find, now 53 years later.

If you are not absolutely thrilled with your White Album purchase, you may return it for a full refund !!!  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first 25 White Albums were numbered with an 'A' prefix and then a series of zeros preceding the number (e.g. A0000009). There are always seven digits following the 'A' so if it was a single digit number it would be preceded by six zeroes or if it was a two digit number it would be preceded by five zeroes. It is not known what the 'A' was indicative of (it may mean printed in America or Apple but neither is confirmed).

Numbers 26-99 were three digit numbers preceded with a zero and no prefix.

Numbers 100 through approximately 209,999 were preceded with the correct number of zeroes to make them a seven digit number
(with no letter prefix)

Beginning around 210,000 to up near 590,000, they were preceded by a zero and had an 'A' prefix.

Later copies from 590,000 up to about 1,350,000 remain at seven digits using a leading zero if necessary and are prefixed with a large dot.
The next batch from 1,350,000 up to 2,000,000 are prefixed with a thinner 'A' then used earlier

From over 2,000,000 to around 2,250,000 some are prefixed with a large dot and some with the 'A'

From 2,250,000 up to 3,000,000 the numbers are prefixed with the abbreviation for number (i.e. No.) On some of these the 'o' in No. is raised with the period below it instead of beside it.

For the final numbers over 3,000,000 the numbers are prefixed with a wide 'A
