This is a complete UK press of the 'White Album' by The Beatles. This press has the top opening sleeve, dark green Apple labels, black inner sleeves, all four photographs and the lyric poster. The records have the early 1/1/2/1 matrix and two of the first mothers. It is pressed on the original wonderful heavy vinyl and has the earliest press poster and postcards.
The records are in Very Good+ condition. The vinyl is exceptionally bright with the original jet black gloss, with no heavy signs of play or whitening to the grooves at all. There are just a few extremely light wispy marks on each side. The labels are completely clean, the white is bright, the green is still vivid and the text is sharp. There is very slight spindle wear.
The sounds quality is Excellent. The sound is still extremely rich and vibrant. Superb separation throughout, just moments of light background noise, but certainly nothing to spoil the enjoyment at any point. It sounds superb and is a pleasure from start to finish.
The records are complete with their original black inner sleeves in Excellent condition. The original black sleeves are so delicate but these are sensational. There are NO edges splits and the centres and opening edges show just the slightest wear. They are solid and completely clean.
The 1st press four photographs are in Near Mint condition. The colours are vivid and they all have their original just pressed sheen. They look absolutely fabulous.
The 1st press matt double sided poster has some a couple of small fold splits but the white is extremely bright with hardly any discolouration, the edges are firm and the poster is solid.
The Garrod & Lofthouse top opening laminated sleeve is in Excellent condition. The laminate has an amazing high gloss and it is completely clean. The white has a little discolouration, but it is still exceptionally bright and the number and Beatles embossed text are sharp and entirely unworn, just like new. There is light spine wear and a light indentation mark on the front. On opening the cover still has the wonderful firm laminate creak and the inside images and text are superb. The flipbacks are sealed and complete. The edges are incredibly firm, especially the opening edge which has hardly any wear at all and the whole sleeve is extremely solid. 525 (GS 6.6.5 (525))
