On offer here is a VERY rare Double LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called "The Beatles" (more commonly known as 'The White Album') and is an ORIGINAL UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press DARK Apple labels!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER BEATLES LPs OF ALL TIME AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  IT IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPs ON THE APPLE LABEL, AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS INCREDIBLE DOUBLE LP IS 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL HUGE POSTER, 2-RECORDS, 4 COLOUR 'PRINTS', 2 BLACK APPLE INNERS, AND LOW 'NUMBERED' (0399877) TOP OPENING GATEFOLD COVER!!!!

THIS DOUBLE LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE, WITH ULTRA RARE 1/1/1/1 MATRIXES (MOST DONT!)!!!!  SOME PEOPLE ODDLY BELIEVE THE EMI TEXT ON THE LABELS MAKES A DIFFERENCE (I HAVE NEVER HELD THIS VIEW - ESPECIALLY WHEN A LOW NUMBERED '0002902' COPY RECENTLY SOLD WITH THIS TEXT ON EVERY LABEL!).  BUT ON THIS DOUBLE LP THIS CAN BE PROVED WITHOUT ANY DOUBT AS UTTER FANTASY - AND THE EMI TEXT IS COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS!!!!  AND THIS IS BECAUSE THIS DOUBLE LP (WITH 'EMI TEXT' ON 1 RECORD AND NOT ON THE OTHER!) HAS THE LOWEST SET OF MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN FOR THIS DOUBLE LP EVER!!!!  INCREDIBLY - NOT ONLY DOES THIS DOUBLE LP HAS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1/1/1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS, BUT IT ALSO HAS A FULL SET OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1/1/1/1 MOTHER NUMBERS ASWELL!!!!  THE FULL MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS ARE AN INCREDIBLY LOW:- 1/TA 1/G 1/AP & 1/PG!!!!  AND PROVING THAT THE 'EMI TEXT' IS UTTER NONSENSE - THE FIRST TWO MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS (INCLUDING THE LOWEST POSSIBLE 1/G MOTHER & STAMPER CODING SIDE!) ARE ON THE RECORD WITH THE 'EMI TEXT'!!!!  THERE IS ALSO A MARK NEXT TO THE SIDE 4 STAMPER - THOUGH I HAVE EXAMINED THE SIDE 4 '1' STAMPER (1/PG) AND IT LINES UP PERFECTLY WITH THE LETTERS OPPOSITE, AND I AM CERTAIN IT IS DEFINITELY A FACTORY MOTHER.  I THINK THE MARK IS SIMPLY THAT - A MARK!!!!  IMPORTANTLY, ALL FOUR MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS ARE VERY CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER - CLEARLY SHOWING THAT THESE RECORDS ARE 100% ORIGINAL TO THE COVER - AND HAVE NEVER BEEN SWOPPED OR CHANGED EVER!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS DOUBLE LP EVER MADE - AND FINDING A 1ST PRESSING 1/1/1/1 MATRIXES & 1/1/1/1 STAMPER CODINGS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS DOUBLE LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND IS VERY HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS NOW!!!!  THE POSTER IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION (UNSPLIT & UNCREASED - AND A 100% ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS POSTER, NOT A LATER SWOPPED ONE!), THE 4 'COLOUR PRINTS' ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION (AGAIN - THESE ARE 100% ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS INSERTS - AND NOT LATER SWOPPED ONES!), THE BLACK INNERS ARE ALSO IN STUNNING CONDITION (THOUGH THESE MAY BE RE-PROS!), THE RECORDS ARE GREAT CONDITION (AND LIGHTLY PLAYED!), AND EVEN THE GATEFOLD 'TOP OPENING' FULLY LAMINATED 'NUMBERED' COVER IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION ASWELL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES - THIS IS A BRILLIANT 'WHITE ALBUM', AND VERY HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS NOW!!!!  

IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING, THAT THE ULTRA RARE 'SPACER' IS 100% GENIUNE IN ALL RESPECTS!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST OFTEN FAKED PARTS OF A WHITE ALBUM - BUT IT IS EASY TO CHECK TO CONFIRM AUTHENITICITY!!!!  THE 'SPACER' IS MADE OF THIN PAPER, IS LIGHTLY AGED (WHICH CANNOT BE FAKED) AND HAS A LIGHTLY TEXTURED BACK AND SMOOTH FRONT (FAKE SPACERS DON'T!)!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THE SPACER WITH THIS LP IS 100% GENIUNE!!!!

BOTH record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO tears, NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVENT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s Double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO nasty concentric marks AT ALL, NO nasty 'tick' marks AT ALL, only 3 or 4 VERY light hairlines, only 3 or 4 MEGA light scufflines, only 1 lateral hairline type mark on 1 side ONLY, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ALL SIDES RETAIN EVERY BIT OF THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINE LIKE NEW!!!!  It is great to find that the playing of the records are as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  They play with NO skips, only a few VERY light clicks, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality itself is simply SUPERB - with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The records must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  WHAT A GREAT SET OF RECORDS!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  BOTH records also come in what looks to be their ORIGINAL Black inner sleeves which are in SUPERB condition - with NO edge splits, NO centre hole splits, and NO repairs either!!!!  However - although these black inners have EVERY SINGLE correct characteristic for 1st Press inner sleeves (one centre hole, flipback construction, etc!), they look a bit too 'fresh' for my liking, and so could well be re-pro inners!!!!  THE ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 'COLOUR' POSTER, 4 'COLOUR PRINTS' & EXTRA 'SPACER' ARE ALL IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION - WITH NO DAMAGE AT ALL!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Gatefold TOP Opening FULLY Laminated Flipback LOW 'Numbered' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (apart from the usual laminate ONLY loss on the fold line!), NO grubbyness, only VERY slight corner wear, NO splits, only 1 light crease in the bottom right corner, only a VERY few VERY light creases elsewhere (cover is VERY flat looking!), VERY shiny laminate, NO rips, NO tears, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The TOP opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the laminated inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO writing, VERY nice flipbacks, STUNNING shiny 'mirror-like' laminate, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!  The LOW Number '0399877' number on the cover front is PERFECTLY printed (see picture) - and the raised lettering of 'The Beatles' on the cover front is in PERFECT order with NO grubbyness AT ALL!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT COVER!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY WITH 1/1/1/1 MATRIXES & 1/1/1/1 MOTHER CODINGS!) - SO MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
