From Apple Records this is the white album by JOHN, PAUL, GEORGE & RINGO. It is two sequentially numbered albums of the remastered mono version each still shrink-wrapped from the factory and in MINT condition. This listing includes four LP's, two posters, two sets of photographs (8 pictures) and two top-loading gatefolds. Beautiful, unique and rare.

From the liner notesThese heavyweight 180-gram vinyl records were cut from the original master tapes. The mastering team used a completely analog signal path and were guided by the notes made by the cutting engineer for the first pressings of the discs. The packaging replicates the artwork and construction of the original album sleeve. 

From Rolling Stone Magazine's DAVID FRICK: This new vinyl edition ... is the Beatles as they wanted to hear themselves. They started making albums in 1963, when stereo was new science and a luxury. As late as the white album, they treated a mono mix as the definitive document.

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden parachute.  Instead, you’re helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage, or a student pay for college. Our customers are our shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy. Thank you for supporting small businesses.
