The Beatles first 1968 US pressing of THE WHITE ALBUM. Contains original sleeves, poster and all four photos. Runouts have the IAM within a triangle indicating the Scranton, PA plant. I've played through all four sides and it has very little noise, but I did find the following issues: • Side 1: visually there are a few scratches, a few pops • Side 2: visually there are a few scratches, skip on Track 1 • Side 3: visually there is a light scratch, skip on Track 1 • Side 4: visually there are a few light scratches, skip on Track 1 and 5
Wax Runouts • Side 1: SWBO 1-101 J58 #3 with triangle mark and IAM
• Side 2: SWBO 2-101 J56 with triangle mark and IAM • Side 3: SWBO 3-101 J47 #4 with triangle mark and IAM • Side 4: SWBO 4-101 J44 #4 with triangle mark and IAM
Embossed 'THE BEATLES' on front cover with serial number A1686812. The first sleeve of the album cover has tape on the top and bottom edge. There is some ring wear, it has a very nice spine. All-in-all a very nice album with all the inserts intact.
