Description

Hi,


I have an Original Australian Mono release of the Beatles, White Album.

According to sources, this was right at the end of Mono recordings and limited to less than 5000 of these, Australian copies released.

This item has a Mono sticker covering the where the stereo printed label was, in the top right hand corner of the back of the record Gatefold.

I have searched Ebay and even google and havent been able to find one of them for sale, but im sure they are out there.


Firstly i wish to address the condition of the album:

I have a basic record stereo system and Playing through the record the following faults were noted:


Record 1

Track 1 - Side 1

It skips on Side one track one - Back in the USSR and basically it wont allow you to listen to the song as it jumps five or 6 times.

All other songs are great on both sides, crackly in quiete parts.


Record 2

Track 1 - Side 3

It skips on Happy Birthday quiet similar to back in the USSR 

All other songs are great on both sides, crackly in quiete parts. 


Other notable condition points:

The Lady i  got this off had this as a young girl and hence put a sticker on the front cover, with her details on it and she also put her name on the label on one side of each record, as your aware was quiet common in the day, i believe.

The surface appeared unclean, but other than a few pit marks on each sleeve I spent 10 minutes and thanks to the contact covering it cleans up quite well,if not discoloured slightly please see photos.


Also the spine is quite delicate but is intact and functional  and i believe will be for years to come, but needs to be taken care of as it looks to have been open and closed a lot in its hey day.


Ok, So i realize all the above mentioned is very significant when valuing a record, but as I had this and due to my understanding of the rarity of this album I thought I would give an honest appraisal and post for collectors to view and perhaps someone might be interested ? 


I should also mention that I could post Internationally, if required, but please contact me for a quote, if required.


Thanks
