Description
PLEASE READ FIRST!
I'm having to make this even clearer as people are still buying records I'm grading low and as a 'collection filler', and then complain about the audio quality when they try to play them. As I VISUALLY GRADE my records I cannot guarantee that discs will be click, skip and noise free (although any marks that may cause such problems will be highlighted in the description). If you're looking for a copy to listen to then please look elsewhere.
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
THE BEATLES
The Beatles (White Album)
Extremely Rare Error Press with 'Racoon' Misspelling!!
On offer here is an extremely rare original UK stereo copy of the Beatles double LP 'The White Album'. This is the famous error press that misspells 'Rocky Raccoon' as 'Rocky Racoon'.
During a later production run in 1968 an error crept into the side 2 label where Rocky Raccoon was mis-spelled as Rocky Racoon. This error was almost immediately spotted and corrected, but not before a small number made it through production.
Today it is exceptionally hard to find the Racoon error as the mistake was caught very quickly!
This copy also features the rare KJT transitional taxcode on the side 1 label!
Not in the best condition and so is being sold as a collection filler due to how rare the Racoon copies of this album are.
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
