The Beatles---2LP Gatefold Cover---White Vinyl---French pressing.
I just had this LP listed for an opening bid of $79.95 which was the lowest on E-Bay and the CONDITION or this LP is far superior to at least 95% of the ones listed, that I found. I'm going to make it easy and start it again but this time at my cost for materials.
I did the same thing for another auction that just ended and got less than half what it was worth. It hat happen again, I may do what all the other sellers are doing.
Your chanct at a deal.
Another from my brother's collection and likely never played. Stored in my granny flat for going on 20 years, it's time for me to reduce my collection.
The cover is at least VG+. Has a slight crease in upper right hand corner hard to see in the photos. The vinyl is  VG++. I test played a few songs from all 4 sides and found no flaws. A few "crackles" in spots probably because of the years  in my very cool and dry granny flat. I would run it through a cleaning with a VPI or similar record cleaning machine. Visually the record is flawless with no scuffs,  or scratches and looks un-played.  
Listened to the song "Revolution 9". Haven't heard that one in decades.
Inserts are all included. 4 photos and the poster like lyric sheet.
I DOUBT THAT THIS LP WAS EVER PLAYED.
Prices for this LP are a bit of a question. I found several White Vinyl Capitol releases with most of them having insane opening bids or "Buy-It-Now". I love this LP but I probably have 20 different releases of it and don't need 21.
I'll ship Media Mail to help keep costs down. Depending on your location and final bid, I reserve the option to ship Priority Mail and I will pay the extra fees.
Below you will find my self imposed Grading System. I may be a little kinder when it comes to rare and semi-rare LPs.
I  will not grade any LP Mint (M) or Mint minus (M-) because nothing is Perfect.
My highest grading on any opened LP is VG+ which means you just brought the record home and opened it. VG+  The vinyl is spotless with no smudges, scratches or scuffs (I've added VG++ for exceptional condition LPs). VG     A very nice record, very playable with only the slightest to no surface noise. VG-   Slight scuffs and/or light scratches that do NOT effect play to unlistenable. G       No skips or distortion but most likely will have a lots of surface noise. I will only list RARE or COLLECTIBLE LPs in this condition.
There is also SEALED which I have  quite a few of.
     THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!
