THE BEATLES
1969 WHITE ALBUM ~ SOUTH AFRICAN SECOND PRESSING
PARLOPHONE RECORDS ~ PMJC-7067/7068 ~ MONO

Well, here's one I didn't think I'd ever part with.  This is an Extremely Rare South African 1969 SECOND PRESSING Mono White Album.  This is one of only a few countries that upon releasing the 1969 Single Box EMI Label Set, continued to issue the extremely rare Mono LP in a Numbered Top Loader Jacket.  As rare as the Mono set for the White Album was, the fact that this second pressing from SOUTH AFRICA still included Mono pressings at all,  is a rarity in of itself... and they were also pressed in far smaller numbers than the 1st pressings which were not more than 10,000 to be sure.....so these are crazy rare!  Sorry about the bad lighting on the photos, if you need more just ask.

Another very interesting item is the labels numbering.  Side One and Two as we know them are numbered Side One and Two, but so are Side Three and Four.  The defining characteristic is that the first disc is numbered PMJC-7067 and Sides Three and Four (the second disc) are PMJC-7068 and this how the set is cataloged.

ALL 4 SIDES of VINYL  are VISUALLY GRADED as EXCELLENT and PLAY GRADED as EXCELLENT to NEAR MINT MINUS there are No scratches, hairlines or other such markings.  There is some light scuffing and also the very light paper scuffing to be seen under bright, direct light.  All 4 sides play very well, No pops, No repeating tics or clicks and only light crackle at random which lessens during tracks, and very little in the way of sustained background noise that lessens the listening....plays well in headphones too....a rare beauty to be sure!

GATEFOLD JACKET Grades as EXCELLENT There is No ring wear to this UK Stock jacket which also has a high gloss covering as the earliest UK jackets held (as the jacket is UK produced).  The top opening is lightly worn (see photo) but has no significant tearing, no rips....just some wrinkling and a few slight tears at the end of wrinkles.  The title seam is about half collapsed in that it is rounding out, the title and number are only just legible as the gatefold is fairly worn but definitely not ready to rip or tear any time soon.

LABELS are all EXCELLENT with only very light spindle marks or wear, they are otherwise very, very clean

POSTER is VERY GOOD ++ respectively, as the poster has light fold wear...the PHOTOS are closer to Mint
