The vinyl on each side is extremely glossy, with no whitening of the grooves at all. There are just a few very light hairlines on each side. The green Apple labels are completely clean. The dark green is exceptionally clean and bold, and the white is bright. The black text is sharp and there is no noticeable spindle wear on both records.
On playing I heard 2 or 3 tiny clicks on track 2 of side 4 but apart from that it played superbly with only the odd bit of light “between track” background noise and the sound quality remains unimpaired.
The records are complete with their original black inner sleeves which are fully intact and show only slight wear.
The photographs are in lovely condition. They look as fresh and vibrant as they did when issued.
The matt double sided poster too is in collectable condition, it has not been posterised and apart from one 5cm fold split remains in much the same condition as when it was originally bought.
Sleeve: The front sleeve looks in really excellent condition with no discernible discolouration. The rear has 3 or 4 light but fairly long surface indentations (see photo 2)– they are not apparent but upon closer inspection they are there. The lettering on the spine is clear with a few spots of age/storage deterioration to the lamination on the spine (see photo 4).
A rare complete first pressing of The Beatles ‘White’ album in highly collectable condition.
I will post worldwide provided that tracked and insured postage is used.
