Offered for sale is an original 1968 UK Apple Records ** First Issue Mono ** two vinyl LP Set for The Beatles 1968 White Album, entitled
‘The BEATLES’. Aka "The White Album."
Low numbered No.0070997 Gatefold Sleeve.

This Set is 100% complete, with one variation:

--> The four UK Photograph inserts are as follows:  Ringo, Paul, George, Ringo. For some reason there are 2 Ringo Starr photo inserts. and no John Lennon photo insert. I purchased this album 25 years ago from 'Let it Be' Records in SF, and the inserts were like this when I bought it.
Note: I will include with this purchase a US White Album John Lennon photo insert. In addition to the 4 listed above.
