The Beatles COLLECTORS PIECE White Album. 0399149 1st PRESS WONDERFUL COMPLETE PACKAGE & AUDIO. 1/1/1/1 Matricies (Professionally cleaned with a Pro-Ject VC-S MkII Vacuum Record Cleaner) This album was The Beatles FIRST release on the now famous Apple label. It was entered into the charts on the 7th of December 1968 and went straight to number one-where it stayed for 7 weeks! Making it the FIRST double album to get the top slot… The rather unusual fact about this album is that it was the first release by The Beatles which contained only SOLO material. By the time 1970 ended, the total sales of this wonderful album were estimated to be 6.5 Million! The only other album that beat this a few years later was “Saturday Night fever”!!! Catalogue Number: PCS 7607/8 1/1/1/1 Matrix endings. LOVELY EARLY PRESSING HERE. Mothers/Stampers: 1/PG 1/OT 4/MO 1/P (AN INCREDIBLY EARLY 1st PRESSING) The Vinyl: 145g/152g EX! I gave her a gentle professional clean om my Pro-Ject VC-S MkII Vacuum Record Cleaner and then played her all the way through on my Focus One Deck… W-O-W, the audio was simply SUPERB! Clear peaks and deep troughs! I even noticed some instrumentals I hadn’t heard before-one at the end of Helter Skelter and the piano on Rocky Raccoon really shone out too… Love it when that happens-this album just keeps giving!! An absolute joy to listen to! The tracks play through with rich clarity. Visually-when angled towards the light I can make out some light wispy marks… A couple of which, to be utterly critical and honest, made a very light and soft, yet very brief pop… Nothing at all to worry about as they were few and far between and really not offensive to the audio output. The light background noise was more evident on the quieter side 4 with the instrumentals-but nothing to ruin my enjoyment. Even the run-ins and outs were lovely and quiet : EACH RECORD IS AS FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN. All four of the labels are extremely bright and clean with the DARKER apple. Only incredibly light spindle marks-visible only when angled towards the light and really looking for them! ZERO hole wear to each label. PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES FOR YOURSELVES Mfd in the U. To each of the labels-onthe one line, rather than the later editions, where it is split on two lines. “An EMI Recording” printed to each side BUT without the brackets! FREE FROM ANY writing. NUMBERED: 0399149 It is the first run TOP loading with a great shine to her. The laminate has just two or three tiny crescents of spidering with a few small fingers of spidering emanating from the spine-nothing at all to worry about. SURVIVED FANTASTICALLY WELL HERE Even the creamy colour has remained-rather than discolouring to the common yellowish colour. Garrod and Lofthouse gatefold. The spine remains lovely and strong. Has the printing of Stereo to the back top right. S-U-P-E-R-B Light rubbing/knocking to the corners through shelf storage… With a tiny 3mm nick to the front. PLEASE SEE MY FEEDBACK FOR FAIR GRADINGS Very good and very strong Garrod & Lofthouse gatefold with equally strong and CLEAN flipbacks. Lovely and clean inside. TOP COPY ORIGINAL FIRST PRINTING!! They are both all original with the die-cut corners and window to one side of each. They have each survived the years incredibly well! There is some light wear to them with some feathering to the openings. The 4 ORIGINAL pictures are present (John, Paul, George & Ringo). They have been kept in great condition… NO rips or tears NO writing or pin holes. It is the ORIGINAL 1st printing of this poster. Lyrics printed to the back and kiss to the front. To the centre of the folds are little 2mm holes-that really is all. There are just a few small spots of foxing/discolouration. WOULD DISPLAY INCREDIBLY WELL.
