Description
THE BEATLES.THE WHITE ALBUM.1968 UK MONO FIRST PRESSING WITH FOUR PHOTOS,POSTER AND BLACK DIE CUT INNERS.THE TOP LOADING SLEEVE IS NUMBERED 0082787.A LOW NUMBER.THE RECORDS ARE THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSING AND DO NOT HAVE `AN E.M.I RECORDING` ON THE LABELS(UNLIKE SLIGHTLY LATER PRESSINGS).THIS IS A VERY NICE COMPLETE COPY OF THIS HIGHLY COLLECTABLE BEATLES MASTERPIECE.AS ALL BEATLES COLLECTORS KNOW,THIS IS THE ONE ALBUM(S) THAT NEVER TURNS UP IN ANYTHING APPROACHING DECENT SHAPE.90% OF THE COPIES THAT TURN UP ARE BATTERED AND GRADE IN THE FAIR/GOOD CATEGORY.EVEN VG COPIES ARE HARD TO FIND!THE RECORDS IN THIS SET ARE IN BEAUTIFUL SHAPE AND WOULD EASILY GRADE IN THE TOP 5% OUT THERE!
CATALOGUE:PMG 7067-8
MATRIX:YEX 709-1 YEX 710-1 YEX 711-1 YEX 712-1.
COVER:TOP LOADING,LAMINATED,NUMBERED GATEFOLD SLEEVE GRADES VG+.THE INK NUMBERS HAVE STARTED TO FADE/WEAR AWAY BUT BECAUSE THE NUMBERS WERE STAMPED ON, LEAVING AN INDENTATION ON THE COVER ,THE NUMBER IS STILL EASY TO IDENTIFY(0082787).I BOUGHT THIS COVER(AND THE REST OF THE SET)AS IT IS(MAYBE SOMETHING RUBBED AGAINST THE COVER IN STORAGE?).PLEASE SEE PHOTOS. THE SPINE IS FIRM AND LEGIBLE.THERE IS LIGHT WEAR TO THE EDGES AND SOME CREASING/LAMINATE CREASING.THERE IS ALSO SOME LIGHT RINGWEAR AND LIGHT MARKS TO THE COVER.THIS IS A REPECTABLE EXAMPLE OF THIS ICONIC SLEEVE WITH NO WRITING OR TEARS.
INNERS:NOTORIOUSLY FRAGILE BLACK DIE CUT INNERS GRADE EXCELLENT MINUS.HAVE SOME CREASING AND A FEW TINY TEARS.THERE ARE NO SEAM SPLITS(VIRTUALLY UNHEARD OF AS MOST OF THESE FRAGILE INNERS DO!).BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLES!
PHOTOS:ALL 4 IN STUNNING EX+ CONDITION.HARD TO FIND FAULT WITH THESE.SUPERB!
POSTER:GRADES EXCELLENT.HAS NEVER BEEN HUNG AND HAS NO SEAM SPLITS OR TEARS.THERE IS SOME LIGHT AGE SPOTTING/DISCOLORATION.A LOVELY EXAMPLE.
LABELS:DARK GREEN (EARLIEST!) APPLE LABELS ARE IN BREATHTAKING SHAPE.VIVID AND CRYSTAL CLEAR.ANGLING THE LABELS INTO STRONG LIGHT REVEALS A FEW FAINT SPINDLE TRAILS TO THE LABELS BUT OTHERWISE FLAWLESS.GRADE EX+.
RECORDS:WOW!THESE THICK SLABS OF FIRST PRESS VINYL LOOK STUNNING.ALL FOUR SIDES RETAIN A GLORIOUS BLACK SHEEN AND LOOK NEAR PERFECT IN NORMAL LIGHT.THESE REALLY ARE IN THE TOP 5% OF COPIES OUT THERE!
CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER STRONG LIGHT REVEALS A FEW LIGHT MARKS/BLEMISHES TO THE VINYLS.NOTHING FEELABLE!ALL FOUR SIDES CONSERVATIVELY GRADE EXCELLENT MINUS.I AM GRADING WITH EXTREME CAUTION HERE AND MANY SELLERS WOULD GRADE THESE AS EX(OR HIGHER).MONO FIRST PRESS RECORDS VERY RARELY TURN UP IN THIS CONDITION,PARTICULARLY WITH THESE EARLIEST PRESSINGS WITHOUT THE `EMI` LABEL TEXT.
