The Beatles

self-titled, AKA The White Album (Apple, 1968)
UK MONO

ORIGINAL PRESSING

# 57,154

COVER: strong VG+: original top loader: all flaps strong: spine lamination is cracked but otherwise strong: overall very clean, great sheen.

RECORDS: most would call these EX- but I will be conservative and say strong VG+. They play great and clean. There is a fraction of a second of groove burn near the very end of "Dear Prudence" but otherwise all four sides play strong VG+/EX-. No "KT" stamps. See photos of each label. Also please note the photo I took of one side of a record to show how clean these sides are. Note there are some spindle marks—these have been played, but these albums have been taken well care of. Each side are all -1 matrixes with fairly early mothers.

MATRIX INFO:

Side 1: XEX 709-1    4    GRR

Side 2: XEX 710-1    7    TR

Side 3: XEX 711-1    3    LL

Side 4: XEX 712-1    4    HT

All 4 original photos are in excellent condition, no pinholes, no issues whatsoever. These look wonderful.

The Garrod and Lofthouse poster is in VG condition: it does show use/folding and unfolding, but there are no pinholes or marks from hanging: there are some seams that are coming apart at the edges,but the entire poster is intact.

Included are the two original black sleeve liners. There show wear and are VG at best. Please see photo.

There is no spacer.

NOTE I will ship each record in its own plain white cover; each record is in a MOFI sleeve. Needless to say I will pack this very carefully so it reaches you in the same condition it leaves me.

Please note my feedback and buy with confidence!

GRADING

I grade vinyl very conservatively. I don't just sell records, I buy them for myself as well. The only records I will grade Mint are sealed records, and even then will note cover condition. I do not rate records Near Mint. The next-highest rating for me is Excellent.

Mint = sealed
EX = like new condition, little to no wear visible
EX- = may have a sleeve mark or two that does not make noise, or slight sign of handling, but still plays excellent
VG+ = no major flaws, looks good and plays great, occasional minor pop or click, used but not abused
VG = may have some marks that play but no skipping; may have some pops and clicks. Still a solid record to listen to.
