For Sale is an original copy of the Beatles White album. This is a mono copy with a top opening cover. The number of this album is 0508263

side 3 - xex 711 - 1 mother stamper - 5 GG 0
side 4 - xex 712 - 1 mother stamper - 4 A0
The cover is in VG+ condition.
The front cover is clean with some signs of wear. the top left has a few light marks but overall it is clean and presentable. the back cover again has some minor wear but is clean and overall very prentable. the bottom edges are split free and clean without rubbing. the bottom corners have som e rubbing but this has no effect on the cover and does not cause and tears. the top right corner is fine and clean. as the picture shows there is a split along the top right corner. this is about 3 cm in length but is not very noticeable and overall has very little effect on the cover. the inside is very clean and presentable. from the picture there can be viewed a small mark in the top left corner of the right side of the cover. this appears to be missing a small piece of laminate but there is no effect on any of the cover and is clean and highly presentable. the spine is 8mm in width the writing is all readable as the picture shows there is some splittle in the laminate from where the record has been opened but the spine has no actual splitting
The records are in vg to vg++ ( i wont label beatles albums as excellent as there is always minor issues) side 1 is clean and retains a glossy finish. there are 4 or 5 marks that can be noticed qucikly under light. these are all very light surface marks but can be seen. the record has signs of wear but when played it plays well with some background noise. side 2 again is clean and glossy. there again is sign of being played the marks are extremely light and not many are very noticeable at all under light. these marks are all superficial and again the record plays well with only light background noise.
side 3 again is clean with only light marks and these are minimal. the record again plays well. Side 4 again has signs of wear. one mark is noticeable and can be very lightly felt. i have again listened to this and it runs barely accross track 3 and then track 4. it is 1 cm in length but again has no effect on the sound at all i have listened and could not even hear it. in my opinion the record plays very well i have a reissue that plays not as well as this.
The labels are all clean and presentable none have any splits or tears. all show spindle wear but none does any damage to the labels.
the black inserts are included however one is in really poor condition and the other is useable but corners are folded for this reason i house the records in plain white sleeves
the 4 pictures are all clean and intact with very little wear. the poster is clean and presentable. the lyric side the corners have very faint marks and the folds do show some light splits but none that will increase and is all intact and is perfectly fine to open. the poster is 45 years old and is still in really nice condition.
overall a great item of a rare record
