THE BEATLES  WHITE ALBUM NUMBER 05

I am reluctantly selling one of my gems.

This album was given to me 20 or so years ago by a good friend who was the founder of ISLAND RECORDS who used to drink in my pub and enjoyed the same music tastes as myself. It came with a story about how the first 5 numbered albums where put on a table for the 4 beatles and George Martin to take one each and apparently Lennon took No5. I have also queried it with a chap from the Beatles fan club mainly because there are not all the 0's in front of the 05. He said it is either a very rare printing error on the number or possibly it is how the first 5 where released as he had never seen one of the first 5. It is 100% original Garrod and Lofthouse top opening and something through all my years of looking and collecting an extremely rare piece. This is a chance to own a one off which I am gutted to be selling but have to.

The condition over all is good to good plus and looks like it has been enjoyed, but the magic number is 05.

A must for any Beatles or serious vinyl collector.

Overseas buyers please mail me before bidding to check postage price as with the insurance it won't be cheap.
