Description

The Beatles
THE BEATLES (a.k.a. "the white album")
80s UK stereo apple with all the trimmings
no UPC
final master before the "cd cuts"

vinyl EX (just to be on the very safe side, plays delightfully)
cover VG (structurally perfect, but the white sleeve has picked up some 'neighbor'-wear)

delightful low playing-mileage pre-cd era uk pressing! 

how are the beatles supposed to sound?  well, this is a contentious notion indeed, BUT i gotta agree that in spite of promises to the contrary, ya can't improve on the 'old' UK pressings.  and here we have a very very nice one.

dynamic, lively, smooth, with toasty-warm non-exaggerated bass.  not brittle like the mofi or boomy like the current vinyl version.
