The YEX 709-2 / 710-1 / 711-1 / 712-1 matrix combination is a documented early UK configuration found on numbered top-loading copies.
This is a genuine 1968 UK numbered White Album, not a later reissue, and is an excellent opportunity for a Beatles collector looking for a clean, complete early UK copy.
Please study all photographs carefully as they show the actual item being offered. The record will be professionally packaged for safe shipment.
A superb piece of Beatles history and a wonderful addition to any serious vinyl collection.
