ATTENTION BEATLES COLLECTORS!

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 MONO 1ST EDITION OF THE  BEATLES DOUBLE LP SET:"THE BEATLES"KNOWN AS THE WHITE ALBUM WHICH IS 100% COMPLETE WITH THE FOUR PHOTOS,THE LYRIC/PHOTOS POSTER AND THE PLAIN DIE CUT BLACK INNER SLEEVES  INSIDE THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER WITH THE TOP OPENING AND FLIPBACKS INSIDE AND THE EARLY INDIVIDUAL NUMBER WITH TWO "00" AT THE START WHICH DENOTES RECORDS PRESSED UP WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE ALTHOUGH 67,000 COPIES WERE PROBABLY SOLD WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK SO THIS IS A VERY EARLY SET OF RECORDS INDEED.     THE NUMBER IS 0067525 AS WELL AS THE RAISED PRINT FOR "THE BEATLES" BEING VERY SHARP NOT "WORN DOWN" LIKE MOST EXAMPLES THAT SURVIVE.

THE RECORDS HAVE THE"SOLD IN THE UK" TEXT WHICH WAS NOT ON LATER 1970s REPRESSES. PMC 7067/8 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE -1/-1/-1/-1 MATRIXES AND MUCH DARKER LABELS THAN LATER REPRESSES.

THE RECORDS HAVE SOME VERY LIGHT/FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE ON SOME OF THE QUIETER TRACKS BUT PLAY SUPERB WITH NO CLICKS,JUMPS OR STICKS.SUPER CLEAN LABELS WITH NO WRITING, STAINING AND HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR. 

STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THE FOUR PHOTOS ARE VERY CLEAN WITH THE CORRECT SIZE WHITE BORDER AROUND THE EDGES AND HAVE NOT BEEN MOUNTED ON A WALL LIKE MOST THAT SURVIVE CLEARLY REMAINING INSIDE THE COVER FOR MOST OF THE LAST 46 YEARS!

THE LYRICS/PHOTOS POSTER IS ALSO VERY CLEAN WITH NO PIN HOLES,BLUE TAC,SELLOTAPE,RIPS REPAIRS OF WRITING. THERE ARE SOME TINY THUMB SIZE TYPE CREASES BUT STILL VERY PRESENTABLE! THE BLACK INNER SLEEVES HAVE SOME CREASES-ONE HAVING A COUPLE OF TINY SPLITS BUT BETTER THAN MOST!

THE FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER HAS A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND A TINY AMOUNT OF LAMINATION PEELING AT THE SPINE BUT NO WRITING,STAINING,REPAIRS OR RIPS. PLEASE TAKE TIME TO SEE MY EXTENSIVE PHOTO SELECTION.

 THE MONO MIXES ARE VERY DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO ONES AND ALTHOUGH I AM A STEREO FAN,I APPRECIATE THE GUTSY SOLID SOLD FOR THESE TRACKS WHICH DOES NOT EXIST IN THE STEREO VERSIONS! BY THE EARLY 1970s ONLY THE STEREO MIXES WERE BEING ISSUED!

DON'T FORGET BY 1968,MOST FANS HAD SWITCHED TO STEREO WITH EVEN THE MOST BASIC NEWER MONO RECORD PLAYERS ABLE TO PLAY STEREO LPs WITH SOME DEALERS ONLY OBTAINING THE MONO PRESSINGS TO SPECIAL ORDER. MOST MONO COPIES WOULD BE PLAYED ON OLD AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT PRODUCING MAJOR WEAR AND DISTORTION UNLIKE THIS LOVELY SET! 

THERE IS A LOW,REALISTIC £50 STARTING PRICE FOR THIS ESSENTIAL DOUBLE LP.

THIS SET WILL ONLY BE SENT SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR ALTHOUGH COLLECTION FROM NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME IS FINE.

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressings!! Warm sound!!.

 I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
