The Beatles "White Album" NM Vinyl LP 1968 (Apple SWBO 101-US)

This album is in fantastic condition. I just played both discs to check for any imperfections. There are no scratches and both albums are clean recordings; especially, considering their age. There is some slight background noise from time to time that is sometimes noticeable between tracks, but it doesn't get in the way of the music. I tend to be a perfectionist, so I can't tell if the occasional background noise between tracks is a result of the pressing process or quality of the vinyl, but I would call it insignificant. I'm just trying to pass along the most accurate information so you can draw your own conclusions. The turntable's needle certainly doesn't skip when I crank up the volume, so you are not taking a big risk on this one!

As you can see in the pictures, the records are clean and were checked out on a Dual 1229. If you have a good turntable and sound system, you will enjoy these discs!

I didn't buy this album right when it came out over 50 years ago. Like so may others, this was considered a "must purchase" because everyone said it was great. I liked it, but I was never a huge Beatles fan, so like all my Beatles records, they didn't get played nearly as much as my Doors, Jethro Tull and Credence albums. Add to this fact that I haven't listened to this album in over 40 years, until now, and you have a quality recording to bid on.

As an audiophile, I took care of all my albums and always used a disc cleaner before spinning them (still do). I only single played my albums and never multi-stacked them on the turntable. The albums were always put back into their jackets after playing them. As a result, all albums I put up for sale are of very good, excellent or near prime condition.

All the albums I am putting up for sale are my own and mostly date from 1974 to 1988. Since I periodically had roommates in the old days, I had a tendency to put my name on covers and album labels. Most of the albums that had album art inserts still have the inserts. I wasn’t into putting them up on the wall.

I play each album before listing it to best determine the condition of the album. I will not list an album that is too beat up and worn. Typically, any album I bought before September of 1969 will be suspect because a less than precision turntable was used. Between 1969 and 1974, I had a pretty good Sylvania stereo system and turntable. Any album purchased in 1974 or later was played on a top of the line Dual 1229 turntable teamed up with a great sound system. I still have the system, the 1229 and a Micro Acoustic needle and cartridge that work great. As such, the post 1974 albums are mostly in very good to excellent to primo playing condition.

If you are interested in collecting some great vinyl, I have a few hundred excellent discs, some with amazing “presence of sound” that you sure won’t experience with ear pods (i.e., Elton John’s first Greatest Hits album, Procol Harem’s Grand Hotel, Linda Ronstadt’s Heart Like A Wheel). I’ve always had eclectic tastes and my interests include a wide spectrum of artists and musical types. My collection includes folk, rock, folk rock, jazz, new age, and classical. So, if you are looking for great old albums that were not exactly “Top 40” radio tunes, then you should periodically follow me and check out the albums I put up for auction or sale. You can bid with confidence knowing that I am passing along my personal collection.

All albums are shipped in album mailers via USPS Media Mail.

Thanks for looking.
