On offer here is a VERY rare Double LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called "The Beatles" (more commonly known as 'The White Album') and is an ORIGINAL UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press DARK Apple labels!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER BEATLES LPs OF ALL TIME AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  IT IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPs ON THE APPLE LABEL, AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS INCREDIBLE DOUBLE LP IS 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL HUGE POSTER, 2-RECORDS, 4 COLOUR 'PRINTS', 2 BLACK APPLE INNERS, AND LOW 'NUMBERED' (0495674) TOP OPENING GATEFOLD COVER!!!!

THIS DOUBLE LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE, WITH ULTRA RARE 1/1/1/1 MATRIXES (MOST DONT!)!!!!  SOME PEOPLE ODDLY BELIEVE THE EMI TEXT ON THE LABELS MAKES A DIFFERENCE (I HAVE NEVER HELD THIS VIEW - ESPECIALLY WHEN A LOW NUMBERED '0002902' COPY RECENTLY SOLD WITH THIS TEXT ON EVERY LABEL!).  BUT ON THIS DOUBLE LP THIS CAN BE PROVED WITHOUT ANY DOUBT AS UTTER FANTASY - AND THE EMI TEXT IS COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS!!!!  AND THIS IS BECAUSE THIS DOUBLE LP (WITH 'EMI TEXT' ON 1 RECORD AND NOT ON THE OTHER!) HAS THE LOWEST SET OF MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN FOR THIS DOUBLE LP EVER!!!!  INCREDIBLY - NOT ONLY DOES THIS DOUBLE LP HAS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1/1/1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS, BUT IT ALSO HAS A FULL SET OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS 1/1/1/1 MOTHER NUMBERS ASWELL!!!!  THE FULL MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS ARE AN INCREDIBLY LOW:- 1/TA 1/G 1/RM & 1/GM!!!!  AND PROVING THAT THE 'EMI TEXT' IS UTTER NONSENSE - THE FIRST TWO MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS (INCLUDING THE LOWEST POSSIBLE 1/G MOTHER & STAMPER CODING SIDE!) ARE ON THE RECORD WITH THE 'EMI TEXT'!!!!  AND ALL FOUR MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS ARE VERY CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER - CLEARLY SHOWING THAT THESE RECORDS ARE 100% ORIGINAL TO THE COVER - AND HAVE NEVER BEEN SWOPPED OR CHANGED EVER!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS DOUBLE LP EVER MADE - AND FINDING A 1ST PRESSING 1/1/1/1 MATRIXES & 1/1/1/1 STAMPER CODINGS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS DOUBLE LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION - AND ALMOST NEVER SEEN LIKE THIS!!!!  THE POSTER IS IN AWESOME CONDITION (UNSPLIT & UNCREASED - AND A 100% ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS POSTER, NOT A LATER SWOPPED ONE!), THE 4 'COLOUR PRINTS' ARE ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION (AGAIN - THESE ARE 100% ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS INSERTS - AND NOT LATER SWOPPED ONES!), THE BLACK INNERS ARE ALSO IN STUNNING CONDITION (100% GENIUNE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS INNERS - WITH NO SPLITS & NO REPAIRS FOR ONCE!), THE RECORDS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONDITION (AND BARELY PLAYED AT ALL!), AND EVEN THE GATEFOLD 'TOP OPENING' FULLY LAMINATED 'NUMBERED' COVER IS IN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CONDITION!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES - THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB 'WHITE ALBUM', AND ALMOST NEVER SEEN LIKE THIS NOW!!!!

No is PCS 7067/68 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press DARK Apple labels (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK Stereo 1st Pressing!!!!  All the tracks are Pure quality Beatles at their best!!!! Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!
BOTH record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in AWESOME condition!!!!  Most of these 60s Double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable.

I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  BOTH records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press Black inner sleeves which are in SUPERB condition - with NO edge splits, NO centre hole splits, NO repairs, NO fraying, and NO writing either!!!!  THE ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 'COLOUR' POSTER, 4 'COLOUR PRINTS' & EXTRA 'SPACER' ARE ALL IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HAVENT EVER LEFT THE COVER!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Gatefold TOP Opening FULLY Laminated Flipback LOW 'Numbered' Cover is in absolutely SUPERB condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (PERFECT side words - and only the usual laminate ONLY loss on the fold line!), NO grubbyness, only VERY slight corner wear, NO splits, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), VERY shiny laminate, NO rips, NO tears, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The TOP opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the laminated inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO writing, VERY nice flipbacks, STUNNING shiny 'mirror-like' laminate, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!  The LOW Number '0495674' number on the cover front is PERFECTLY printed (see picture) - and the raised lettering of 'The Beatles' on the cover front is in PERFECT order with NO grubbyness AT ALL!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent(Minus) if not FULL Excellent!!!!  SUPERB COVER!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY WITH 1/1/1/1 MATRIXES & 1/1/1/1 MOTHER CODINGS!) - SO MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
