Description


Vinyl Blast audiophile, is thrilled to have available a new sealed copy of the Beatles white album from Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs, MOFI, from 1982
New- Never Opened, Never Played Actual pictures listed all corners are OK Mint Condition
The Beatles is the ninth official British album and the fifteenth American album by The Beatles, a double album released in 1968. It is more commonly known as "The White Album" as it has no graphics or text other than the band's name (and, on the early LP and CD releases, a serial number) on its plain white sleeve. The album was the first The Beatles undertook following the death of their manager Brian Epstein. Originally entitled A Doll's House, the title was changed when the British progressive band Family released the similarly titled Music in a Doll's House earlier that year.

Side One 
1. "Back in the USSR" (Lennon-McCartney)
      Paul's parody of The Beach Boys, Chuck Berry and Hoagy Carmichael
2. "Dear Prudence" (Lennon-McCartney)

      Lennon's joke on those who searched for nonexistent hidden meanings in Beatles lyrics
4. "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" (Lennon-McCartney)

6. "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill" (Lennon-McCartney)
      Another song inspired by the band's visit with the Maharishi in India
7. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (George Harrison)
      The other Beatles weren't interested, so George enlisted Eric Clapton to play lead guitar

1. "Birthday" (Lennon-McCartney)
      Backup vocals by Yoko Ono, Patti (Mrs. George) Harrison and the future Linda McCartney

      McCartney was inspired by a lecture by the Maharishi
4. "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey" (Lennon-McCartney)
      John said he wrote it "about me and Yoko"

      Lennon's song about his falling-out with the Maharishi at the end of their visit in India

THE BEATLES

“The Beatles” commonly referred to as “The WHITE ALBUM”

 (1982 US limited edition Mobile Fidelity half-speed mastered 'Original Master Recording' 30-track audiophile double LP pressed on High Definition Vinyl. This copy remains factory sealed from new and is therefore still MINT and unplayed! MFSL2-072).

 

 I am  pleased to be able to offer to you the opportunity to own a geniune piece of music history.  An original “Mobile Fidelity” copy of the Beatles self titled double LP otherwise known as The White Album. This item has remained factory sealed in its original shink-wrap, unplayed & untouched. YOU could be the first person to place a stylus on the opening groove, or maybe this could be an investment piece for the future - whatever the reason for buying you will not be disappointed.  See more info below, for further details on this investment grade item.

Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs:

Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs (MFSL) pressing of the White Album. The MFSL Beatles set was issued in 1982 and had direct masters of the original Beatles album master tapes used in its production. The result was the cleanest, most perfect audio recordings available to the public to buy.

Because of their reputation as the best copies of the albums ever released copies are desirable to audiophiles and Beatles collectors alike. A top condition copy containing a variety of inserts that advertised the MFSL range and products (the MFSL copies of the White Album did not include the poster or photos).



*Note: All MFSL albums have two aligning hole punches through the plastic seal (shrink-wrap) on the original seal.  If yours doesn’t, it may have been opened and resealed.  These holes are “original” and are specifically located.
