Description

BEATLES UK – WHITE ALBUM, ORIGINAL STEREO mispress.

1968 PCS 7067/7068 -  APPLE RECORD LABELS.

A UK FIRST EDITION TOP LOADING STEREO PRESSING WITH A UNIQUE SERIAL NUMBER OF  ‘ No. 0536758 ’.   

The record  labels have two inconsistencies, they are:

The text on the labels, ‘ Sold in  UK ’ etc  have been printed in a  different  ‘font’  (letter style), ie  the letter  style on label one and two have been printed in the regular ‘chubby’ Sans  Serif font  but on  labels three and four  this text has been printed  in the  ‘ Slender ’   Sans Serif  font !

Also the record labels on side one and two do not have the text   ‘ An EMI recording ’,   but   oddly on labels   three and four  this  text   APPEARS  !.

CONDITION:

THE MAIN SLEEVE:  is in near excellent condition, the double album gatefold sleeve is fully laminated and has remained a very glossy fresh white in colour.     On the front it has  an  embossed Beatles logo and a unique individual SERIAL Number of   No. 0536758,    this number appears clear and bold.  The corners of the sleeve are very good, not the usual ‘scuffed’ corners.  To the rear there is the small   ‘Stereo’  text printed  proving this to be a genuine  STEREO sleeve.    The records are accessed from the top.    The spine is in very good condition and   all the text is  clear.   The spine does have a little discolouring  from age and the usual ‘ flaky ’  laminate.   The sleeve features visible flipbacks when the sleeve is opened, these flipbacks are all excellent and well stuck down.  When the sleeve is opened it is very white, clean and tidy.     There are NO  stains,  pen writing, tears, stickers or sticker residue.     A very clean and white sleeve that’s been  well preserved for its age.

THE INNER SLEEVES: are the two original APPLE black inners and have NOT been  replaced.   One sleeve is in excellent+  condition, with NO    splits, there is a small tear  10mm  at the die cut hole.   The second sleeve is in excellent  condition, again with   NO  splits. 

THE POSTER: is in near excellent condition,  there is virtually NO wear to the folds.    There is  NO  sellotape residue,  pin hole damage or blue tack residue and NO tears,  stains, stickers or sticker residue.   There is a very small amount  of black  pen to the rear of the poster, but it hardly notices.

THE PHOTOS:   the four photos   are NOT  present.

THE VINYL:  record one, side one is in very good+ condition, side two is in very good++ condition,  record two, side three  is in near excellent condition  and side four is in  excellent condition.  The two records are made of the original  ‘ thick and heavy ’ vinyl and are very dark and  glossy and  have not seen mush play.  

The matrix nos. are:     YEX   709 - 1,  YEX  710 - 1,   YEX  711 - 1  and  YEX   712 - 1.    

The Mother/Stampers are:   ‘ 2     M  ’,   ‘ 1      P ’,   ‘ 5    H D   ’  and    ‘  6    R T  ’.   

THE AUDIO:   is  excellent, an excellent playing copy, there is little  to spoil the  listening pleasure.    Each record lays flat on the turntable and plays  well with  NO sticking or jumps from  the needle.

THE LABELS:  are all in excellent condition,  the labels feature the original first press DARK green Apple colours.     All the labels show    the text   ‘Sold in the UK’ etc,  the George and Ringo songs are listed as  ‘Apple Publishing’.      As mentioned above there are two different letter styles (font)  that have been  used  on the  lines  of text    ‘ Sold in UK ’  etc !.
