BEATLES WHITE ALBUM 1968 SWBO 101 FIRST PRESSING ALL 7 ERRORS VERY LOW NUMBER 0024262 !
This is an original 1968 U.S. first pressing of The Beatles 'White Album' with amazingly low numbered (0024262), with poster & all 4 original pictures. This is the rare and highly sought after early pressing containing all 7 printing errors on the labels. Shortly after release of the album these mistakes were noticed and corrected on future pressings but not before some of these extremely rare error copies had already entered the marketplace.
These are the 7 errors on the labels:
1. "BUNGALOW BILL" instead of "THE CONTINUING STORY OF BUNGALOW BILL"
2. "OBLADI OBLADA" instead of "OB-LA-DI OB-LA-DA"
3. "ROCKY RACOON", missing the second "c" in Raccoon
4. "GOODNIGHT" instead of "GOOD NIGHT"
5. "REVOLUTION NO. 1" instead of "REVOLUTION 1"
6. "REVOLUTION NO. 9" instead of "REVOLUTION 9"
7. "WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD" without the question mark (?)
This error is apparently the rarest of all the 7
Wax Etchings:

*the IAM is inside a triangle indicating that it was pressed at Capitol's Scranton factory.
Vinyl looks VG++ with some light scuffs and hairlines and plays VG++/NM or better -- very clean.
As can be seen in the pictures, this is a very clean cover -- one of the cleanest early pressings I have ever seen -- glossy with just a bit of light ring wear. There are, however, some significant seam splits and some corner dents on the cover, also shown in the photos. The poster and pictures also are beautiful (see photos).
Please check my other auctions and those to come.
Grade Scale:
(S) SEALED = VINYL assumed mint, never open.
(NM) NEAR MINT = VINYL nearly perfect, no obvious signs of wear. COVER should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes.
(VG++ or EX) VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS or EXCELLENT = VINYL almost NM but it might have a few more superficial signs of use and slight sleeve scuffing. COVER may only have the slightest signs of normal wear.
(VG+/VG++) Between VERY GOOD PLUS and VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS = VINYL may have a bit more signs of use & scuffing than VG++. Surface noise will be more noticeable. COVER may have slight ring wear or discoloration. Very small seam split.
( VG+ ) VERY GOOD PLUS = VINYL may have scuff marks, very light scratches and signs of some wear and will have surface noise in spots, generally still has it's luster. COVER will have slightly more ring wear or discoloration. Minor seam split.
( VG ) VERY GOOD = VINYL has more noticeable scuffs and scratches. Surface noise will be noticeable (may crackle, pop or make other annoying noises), especially in the quiet areas. COVER has minor writing, tape or sticker, ring wear and more seam splits.
( G ) GOOD = VINYL may have multiple scratches or small gouge(s), may have continuous crackles, pops, significant surface noise. COVER has more than normal wear and tear.
