The original UK Garrod and Lofthouse fully laminated Top Opener gatefold cover is in Very good condition for it's age, with only Slight noticable Yellowing and one 2cm horizontal "Hairline" Crack, but no unwanted writing. The embossed 'The Beatles' word on the front is Very good condition and the number 0152644. This early wide spine is  broad and perfectry readable with only an overtone of the expected aging to this Album. The cover has only very minor lamination creasing in a few places, quite light scuffing to the corners, but an overall Good/Very Good COVER.

Both vinyl's are in VG+++ condition, both having some light surface marks, I have played both vinyl's on an Original Dansette Major, all four sides, and the quality of the pressings are SUPERB, side 1 and 2 play, a strong EX+, with only a minor crackle here and there, mainly in-between tracks, the Mono comes through the speakers with crisp, clear clarity, stunning audio.

Sides 3 and 4 play EX, great clear crisp clarity. The Records play astonishingly well with light surface marks. There is a very slight crackle but do not stick and do not jump, playing through perfectly with very minor disruption and doesn't in any way spoil the great audio experience. The quiet tracks:- 'Blackbird', 'Julia', 'Dear Prudence', 'I'm so Tired', 'Long Long Long' and 'Goodnight', play quietly with a very slight crackle. In conclusion, both vinyl's play with such drive and purpose, whilst delivering a crisp clear clarity that you would expect from quality pressings.

All four label's are in EX+++ condition, lovely and clean and crisp, with no unwanted writing and no scuffs, the spindal hole's show little wear, great label's.

The vinyl's are housed in their original black inner sleeves and in very good condition, with expected wear but very minor tears at the central Label viewer. In addition,  there are no minor tears to the rest of the inner sleeve and deemed to be in Very Good condition!.

The original four prints of each Beatle are in a STUNNING MINT- condition, lovely and clean and crisp, with no unwanted writing, no rips or tears, STUNNING condition!.

The original Garrod and Lofhouse poster is in EX+ condition, lovely and clean with no seam splits, no rips, or tears, Grand condition.

Altogether a GREAT copy of this original 1968  UK MONO double LP by the BEATLES, THE WHITE ALBUM, complete.
