Description
For sale is a first U.K. mono pressing of The Beatles - White Album from 1968. Top loader gatefold sleeve with low number 0034572 and complete with poster and photos. PMC 7067/8. Early first issue as has no ‘An EMI recording’ on labels. 1/1/1/1 matrices.
Original top loader gatefold sleeve in VG+ condition. No rips , tears or writing. Some edgewear and spine wear.
Original poster in VG+ condition, with no marks, or tears on the folding edges.
Original photos complete and in excellent condition. No pin holes as so many tend to have.
Original black inner sleeves are VG. These are well known for their flimsiness and do have minor tears on the edges, but otherwise intact.
The two records are visually an easy VG+, with only minor scuffs and hairlines. Labels, without ‘An EMI Recording ‘ text are all in generally great shape.
I have had to mark both records down to VG- in my grading as track one of side one has a couple of short skips early in the track. There is also a small skip about one minute into track one of side three. There are no obvious marks that would suggest these will skip.
Track one side two has some surface noise.
Otherwise it played very well when tested with some quiet crackles between tracks and in a few quiet passages and an occasional click.
This is a complete and low number copy of a great double album.
