The Beatles- 'THE BEATLES (WHITE ALBUM)’ UK Stereo SECOND pressing ***ULTRA RARE DARK APPLE WITHOUT 'SOLD IN UK' STATEMENTS!!! STUNNING EXCELLENT CONDITION!!!***
***Starting on auction here is a VERY RARE BEATLES record, a STEREO 2nd 1969 pressing of their Iconic 1968 album, THE BEATLES (AKA THE WHITE ALBUM)! This pressing is a complete and 100% original set, with its original white apple inners and numbered SIDE opening laminated sleeve, along with the original photos (also complete with the photo spacers it came with when released) and poster!!!! The labels are the DARK apple label WITHOUT the 'sold in uk' statements on the labels!! ONLY the 1969 pressings featured labels with these statements with the proper DARK Apple labels!!!!***
***The condition of the records are showing that they have BARELY been played, BOTH discs are STUNNINGLY clean with only perhaps a couple of very light hairline marks present on all sides which are only visable under a desk lamp. The grading of the visual condition to BOTH sides would certainly grade as EXCELLENT PLUS!!! The play to is SUPERB, no distortion anywhere, with near silent run in grooves, a grading of EXCELLENT for the audio quality on all sides, it really would be near impossible to find better discs!!! The labels also are in BRILLIANT condition with only a couple of the lightest whispy spindle markings on both sides and would certainly grade as NEAR MINT!!! Side four label bears NO spindle markings whatsoever and looks almost unplayed!!!!***
***The main sleeve is its correct LAMINATED gatefold SIDE OPENING sleeve grading as being in EXCELLENT MINUS condition! Overall a very nice example of this very rare sleeve which is nearly always in no better than average condition, some light creasing to the front, however this is NOTHING severe at all, and is overall a HIGHLY respectable example, with NO yellowing and NO names or stickers!!!!! The ORIGINAL photos/ spacers/ poster all grade as NEAR MINT!!!!!! Stunning and looking unused, it is clear that they have very rarely been removed from the sleeve, also to find any White Album with its original photo spacers is almost impossible in any condition, but when they are near mint it is UNHEARD of!! The original white apple inner sleeves are also in stunning condition!!! Most of the time these sleeves are either in bad condition, or have replaced with other non Apple sleeves, but these are the originals and are in EXCELLENT PLUS condition!!!***

MY RECORDS ARE STRICTLY GRADED USING THE STANDARD RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM, I DO NOT LIST ANY RECORDS USUALLY UNDER THE GRADING OF VERY GOOD UNLESS THEY ARE OF RARITY VALUE...
Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
Near Mint (NM) The record looks brand new with no scuffing or any deterioration in sound quality and only the smallest hint that its ever been played. The cover and any additional extras are clean, crisp and with no wear whatsoever.
Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
Fair (F) The record is still just about playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
