ORIGINAL 1968 BEATLES WHITE ALBUM WITH A LOW NUMBER, A 0340649, INCLUDING POSTER AND PHOTOS, WITH CLEAN PLAYABLE VINYL!
I believe this to be an LA Press but I could be wrong.  The clear letters I can see are shown here.  There are two characters after these clearly etched letters, the first looks like maybe a sideways capital I (top and bottom horizontal lines capital I), and the second maybe a *.  Anyway, here are clearly etched letters:
Matrix / Runout (runout A, etched): SWBO-1-101-J41 Matrix / Runout (runout B, etched): SWBO-2-101-J40 Matrix / Runout (runout C, etched): SWBO-3-101-J41 Matrix / Runout (runout D, etched): SWBO-4-101-J40
The LPs were stored in plain white inner sleeves, they look VERY PLAYABLE with a handful of very light visible but unfeelable scratches over mostly clean vinyl, I'll conservatively grade in the range of VG+ to VG++, closer to VG++.  They were stored in plain white inner sleeves.  The jacket is clean white with a smaller amount of age-toning than typically seen in original pressings.  The front jacket has a vertical tear starting at the top edge where a 6" split occurs - see listing photo.  There is no split on top edge of back gatefold. The bottom edges have splits about 3" from the opening.  The poster has wear along the edges and corners, with the most wear as expected in the 4-corner creases.  The photos are impeccable.  There was pink piece of paper the size of the photos found in the jacket with the photos - maybe it came as part of the original backing for the photos.
