First Japanese pressing of The Beatles aka 'The White Album' on black vinyl (AP-8570-71) with POSTER and lyrics insert.
Simply titled as 'The Beatles' in embossed letters on plain white cover, this double album is commonly known as 'The White Album' due to its plain white album cover. Every Album had a unique stamped serial number: This edition is stamped as No. A117731.

Includes:
OBI - a complete intact APPLE MEDALLION obi with some wear on one side of the Apple Medallion. a huge poster comprising a montage of photographs with the lyrics of the songs on the back. four pics of the band members inside gate-fold cover.
Rare and unique feature: This Japanese first pressing on black vinyl has a misprint on the Side Four Label: 'Savoy Truffle' misprinted as 'Savoy Truffie' that was corrected in later pressings.

The White Album holds its place at the apex of the Beatles' career. It has endured as an inspired experimental masterpiece.

A ferocious opening track,'Back in the U.S.S.R.' reflects the changing times of 1968.
The collection includes universal favourites like the Lennon–McCartney 'Blackbird' and Harrison's 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'.

Nominally classed as "Rock", the Album has its own style and as such, resists being allotted to any particular genre. It displays elements of Pop Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Experimental Rock, and the arty quirky experiential soundscape (Revolution 9). TRACK LIST
