Description
1968 US STEREO "WHITE ALBUM" IN EX CONDITION WITH ULTRA RARE A28/B29 MASTERING. THESE SO-CALLED "HARRISON COMPRESSED" COPIES APPEAR AT TIMES BUT ALMOST NEVER IN SUCH FINE CONDITION. COMPLETE SET WITH ORIGINAL PAPER INNER SLEEVES, POSTER, AND 4 PHOTOS.
RARE VINTAGE ORIGINAL 1968 US SCRANTON BEATLES WHITE ALBUM! THIS IS AN ORIG. NUMBERED COPY (A1594281) BUT WHAT MAKES IT SO SPECIAL ARE THE DISCS WHICH WERE PRESSED ON ALL 4 SIDES WITH THE ORIGINAL, DELETED, COMPRESSED MASTERING THAT WAS REJECTED BY GEORGE HARRISON IN NOVEMBER 1968 SHORTLY BEFORE THE ALBUM WAS TO BE RELEASED. THE ORIGINAL COVER IS CLEAN BUT SHOWS SIGNS OF AGE AND SEAM WEAR. THE ORIGINAL LARGE POSTER WITH FULL LYRICS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE IS EX, AND THE HIGH QUALITY GLOSSY PICTURES OF EACH BEATLE GRADE VG+.
THE LABELS CONTAIN ALL 7 SONG TITLE ERRORS THAT ONLY APPEARED ON EARLY 1ST PRESSINGS AND WERE CORRECTED FOR ALL SUBSEQUENT VERSIONS OF THE ALBUM. "OBLADI OBLADA" APPEARS ON SIDE 1 INSTEAD OF "OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA" and "BUNGALOW BILL" APPEARS INSTEAD OF "THE CONTINUING STORY OF BUNGALOW BILL." "ROCKY RACOON" APPEARS ON SIDE 2 INSTEAD OF "RACCOON" and "WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD" IS PRINTED WITHOUT THE QUESTION MARK. ON SIDE 4 "REVOLUTION NO. 1" APPEARS INSTEAD OF "REVOLUTION 1", "REVOLUTION NO. 9" APPEARS INSTEAD OF "REVOLUTION 9", AND "GOODNIGHT" IS PRINTED AS ONE WORD INSTEAD OF TWO ("GOOD NIGHT"). THE DISCS GRADE AN ALMOST MIRACULOUS EX ON ALL 4 SIDES, WITH JUST SLIGHT SPINDLE WEAR VISIBLE ON CLOSE INSPECTION. PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED PHOTOS. THIS COPY WAS CLEARLY ONLY PLAYED A HANDFUL OF TIMES! MATRIX NUMBERS AS FOLLOWS: SIDE 1: SWBO-1-101-B29 SIDE 2: SWBO-2-101-A28 #2 SIDE 3: SWBO-3-101-A28 SIDE 4: SWBO-4-101-A28
