SLEEVE CONDITION
The Gatefold sleeve appears in VERY GOOD condition. The main thing to mention is that there is a damp tide mark on the rear of the sleeve where whilst stored dampness appears to have got slightly underneath the laminating. Other than that the sleeve has a couple of very small corner scuffs, there are no rips, bubbling, handwriting, tears or major folds to report. The spine is slightly splitting. There is a third FACTORY SAMPLE sticker on the front of the sleeve.

INNER SLEEVE
the original white EMI patent inner sleeves appear here in Excellent condition.

LABELS
THE LABELS APPEAR IN GREAT CONDITION - THERE ARE SLIGHT SPINDLE MARKINGS EITHER SIDE WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT.
FACTORY SAMPLE STICKERS APPEAR ON THE LABELS OF SIDE B AND SIDE C!!!

VINYL
Under bright light the vinyl shows up almost MINT and appears STORED WELL, UNPLAYED.

SUMMARY
This is a unique opportunity to own a test pressing stereo version of the Beatles WHITE ALBUM - a tremendous and historic piece of work which has put the Beatles in music history as untouchable.
