RARE ORIGINAL PRESS NUMBERED BEATLES WHITE ALBUM WITH THE ORIGINAL PHOTOS AND POSTER.
This is numbered A2029941, with features and matrices that match the discogs description - 1st Press, Capitol Text, Scranton Pressing.  The matrices are:
Matrix / Runout (runout A etched & stamped): SWBO1-101-J58 #4 IAM Matrix / Runout (runout B etched & stamped): SWBO2-101-J45 ||  IAM Matrix / Runout (runout C etched & stamped): SWBO3-101-J47 #3 IAM Matrix / Runout (runout D etched & stamped): SWBO4-101-J45 #5 IAM
The previous owner annoyingly magic-marked at taped the number 129 onto front jacket - no other markings by the previous owner.  There is a split top edge of front jacket about 5".  No other splits, very light ring front and back jacket, the jacket retains a sheen that is not often seen in used copies of this LP.  The photos are the original thick stock paper, not the later flimsy glossy paper.  There is a slight waviness to them.  The poster has wear along the edges, a tiny tear or two on the creases.  The LPs were found without inner sleeves - will be stored and shipped in clear plastic sleeves.  They LOOK QUITE PLAYABLE with only a single light visible but not feelable scratch cutting across the first 2 cuts on Side A; maybe a faint scratch or two otherwise on the three sides.  I normally grade this kind of condition in the VG++ to NM range, but because the LPs were found stored without inner sleeves, I'll grade VG++.
