Condition
Vinyl: VG+ to VGVisually there are noticeable hairlines, scuffs, and marks under light across the surfaces shown. Described conservatively Sleeve: VG
The iconic minimalist outer still presents well from the front, but there is visible ageing, ringwear/discolouration, light marks, and general storage wear. The gatefold interior remains attractive overall. Poster
Fold-out poster included as pictured. Nice bonus to have present and worth stating clearly in the listing. Portrait Prints
Four portrait prints included as pictured. These add clear collector appeal and help separate this copy from incomplete examples.
About This Copy
A later US Capitol purple-label copy of the White Album with the understated white gatefold presentation that still makes this issue so appealing on the shelf. This example also includes the fold-out poster and all 4 portrait prints pictured, which strengthens it against more basic incomplete copies.
This is still being sold as an honestly graded vintage copy rather than a premium first-press collector piece. The value here is in the strong presentation, the included printed extras, and the fact that it remains a classic Beatles double LP with the desirable insert package present.
Packing & Postage
Both records will be removed from the sleeve before dispatch and packed in a proper LP mailer with stiffeners. Poster and portrait prints will be packed flat and protected separately inside the package.
More photos available on request, including all labels, runouts, poster, portraits, spine, and any specific flaws.price rating
