This auction is for a very rare error pressing of disc 1 of the Beatles legendary LP' The White Album'.
What makes this copy unique is that it contains two errors. The first is on side 1 where the rimtext is completely off centre to the Apple image and print. Check out the label photo below.
But the second, and this is the huge error, is that there are two labels stuck to the disc. The first attempt completely missed the centre and was adhered to the disc off to the side, jutting out to go over the last four tracks. the second label was stuck over this, but still didn't quite hit the centre.
Such a huge error should have been picked up and disposed of by quality control as it completely renders half of side 2 unplayable. That or the person buying the record would usually return such an error for the same reason.
Such label errors are extremely rare to find!
This auction is just for disc 1 and doesn't come with the second disc, cover or inserts.

The playing surface, overall, has a nice shine to it and just a little light scuffing in places. However, there's a slightly heavier mark on side 1 at the 6 o'clock position that runs through the first 6 tracks. I can't really feel it under my fingernail but it's noticeable. There's a slightly heavier mark on side 2 at the 12 o'clock position is is feelable under the fingernail. There's also a very light but noticeable mark at the 6 o'clock position that runs through the inner 5 tracks. This mark is not feelable under the fingernail.

The labels are clean, crisp and clear with just a few, light, little spidery spindlemarks The side 2 label has bubbled slightly away from the label underneath. The side 2 label is green and doesn't really have the tint of blue the photo is showing. Blame my camera on that one!.
