THE BEATLES White Album 2-LP Gatefold vinyl set 1968 SWBO-1-101 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preserve, protect and organize. Three words every collectors strives for. I have devised a solution. I will ship every White Album I sell where each LP will come in it's own white cardboard sleeve that is stamped with the same serial number that is on the White Album you are purchasing. Additionally, each record will be put in a paper/poly sleeve for easy identification, and also stamped with the same number as your White Album. This will keep your original Apple cover from seam splittings and preserve it for many years to come !! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is as nice a White Album with ALL 7 errors for sale, at this special price !

Embossed and low numbered A 1607511 Original 1968 U.S. Scranton △ first pressing of The Beatles 'White Album'. This is the 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. Clean glossy VG/EX LPs, showing hairlines, which you would expect after being 55+ years old !! Labels are VG/EX with NO writing and NO rips/tears. Poster is EX and ALL 4 ORIGINAL heavy stock portrait photos are Near Mint.

The inner spine is intact in excellent condition. Glossy white EX cover, showing NO seam splits, NO writing, and NO stickers. NO WRITING on any of the record labels, and NO WRITING on the sleeve anywhere !! The spindle holes are pristine. The original inner sleeves are present.

Here's very invaluable information on how The Beatles White Albums were numbered, and the meaning behind all the sequences...

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.

Copies 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 some point past 2,000,000 are prefixed with an 'A' but it's a thinner 'A' than used earlier with △ stamped in the dead wax rim

From 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'
