Up for auction is the always sought after numbered edition of the 1968 self titled classic by the Beatles known as "The White Album". This copy is numbered A1690872 released on Apple Records and is Still in the Shrink Wrap. I come across this album quite often but usually the later pressings and this is the first time I've ever come across the numbered edition in the shrink wrap. This is one of those notoriously beat up and dirty jackets with tons of ring wear. Visually graded using Goldmine standards, both vinyl LP's rate a VG+ with nice shine and light surface wear. The gatefold jacket with raised lettering is covered with shrink everywhere except a section on the back cover which is torn (see pics). As you can see in the close ups, there are some dirt spots under the shrink in some spots which may be able to be cleaned but I did not want to risk tearing the shrink. You can still see the glossy white cover underneath and it still has the original Sears sticker in the top right corner. The album did not come with the poster and pictures but I took them from a later pressing so it can be complete. The pictures are mint and still attached to each other and the poster shows some moisture but displays beautifully and there are no tears. Overall a beautiful solid copy. Low starting bid an no reserve. Shipped professionally in sturdy mailer.
The Beatles is the ninth official album by the English rock group the Beatles, a double album released in 1968. It is also commonly known as the "White Album," as it has no graphics or text other than the band's name embossed (and, on the early LP and CD releases, a serial number) on its plain white sleeve.
The album was written and recorded during a period of turmoil for the group, after visiting the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India and having a particularly productive songwriting session in early 1968. Returning to the studio, the group recorded from May to October 1968, only to have conflict and dissent drive the group members apart. Ringo Starr quit the band for a brief time, leaving Paul McCartney to play drums on two tracks. Many of the songs were "solo" recordings, or at least by less than the full group, as each individual member began to explore his own talent.
Upon release in November 1968, the album received near universal acclaim and reached number 1 on the charts in the United Kingdom and the United States. The album is notable for the eclectic nature of its songs, which has divided critics in evaluating its legacy. The album has sold over 30 million copies worldwide and was listed at number 10 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list. Previously in 1987, as part of their 20th anniversary, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it #9 on "The 100 Best Albums of the Last Twenty Years."
