Description
Complete & original 1st UK Mono press of The Beatles eponymous 1968 double album ‘The Beatles’ aka the White Album. Released on the 22nd November 1968, this 1st pressing was issued with the all four sides missing “An EMI Recording” from the labels which was soon corrected on the 2nd press. All four sides have matrix numbers ending in -1 correctly denoting they were pressed from the 1st lacquers and the 1st mother & very low stamper codes show this set was very early off the press. The sleeve is an incredibly low sub-8,000 No. 0007927. This set is complete with all original parts - two delicate black inners, large foldout poster with song lyrics on the flip-side, and 4 portrait photos of the band, also including the original photo spacer used to protect the top photo, so often discarded.
Serial number: PMC 7067/8
Matrix number: XEX 709-1, XEX 710-1, XEX 711-1, XEX 712-1
Mother & stampers codes: 1 P / 7 RH / 1 A / 2 RM
Condition: This is a stunning condition complete 1st press set. Both discs are super-glossy and clean without scratches or marks when viewed both natural light and also direct halogen spotlight. Both discs sit completely flat on the turntable with no warping. NEAR MINT! All tracks across the whole double album play through with that full punchy first-press audio, there are no skips or sticks or repeat clicks. 'Julia' plays with a two light pops and 'Dear Prudence' has some very light static in quiet parts, otherwise the album plays beautifully and without issue. The audio grades EXCELLENT PLUS/NEAR MINT! The very low numbered No. 0007927 sleeve is also in top condition. Nice and clean bright creamy white colour, glossy front without ring wear, perfect spine - so often the hardest test for a white album sleeve. Clean insides and back without issue. It's a beauty! There are no light marks or light stains anywhere, or fault to find. It grades as NEAR MINT! The set is complete with both original black inners that remarkably do not have any splits or small tears, NEAR MINT! All four photos are NEAR MINT! with original rare photo spacer. The large fold out lyrics poster has no tears, pen, stains, tape or pin marks, NEAR MINT!
