A Complete and UNIQUE pressing of this BEATLES masterpiece, in stunning condition, that plays with TOP AUDIO from start to finish.Super Clear 1st MONO mix, which packs amazing drive and punch.
The Beatles, later known as the White Album, had over a quarter of a million advance orders, and of course went straight to number 1.
This was the first double album EVER to get to the top slot where it stayed for 7 weeks in a row.
It sold so many, that once again The Beatles also made the singles chart, consequently the ONLY double album to ever enter that chart.
By the end of the year, just over a month later, the white album had sold over 4,000,000 copies worldwide, and by the end of 1970 global sales were around 6.5 million.
At that time this was the biggest selling double album of all time.The sleeve design was by Richard Hamilton, who suggested the minimalistic approach and the consecutively numbered sleeves which would give a limited edition feel to it.
Richard also came up with the montage idea for the large free poster, which included the lyrics on it s rear.
The four free colour prints were taken by John Kelly.
Every single original pressing was unique, and came with a great collection of additional material.
Also a ground breaking album, THE WHITE ALBUM is one of the great vinyl collectables of all time.
ALBUM PLAYED FOR GRADING:Yes Fantastic sound quality throughout This great record plays up to the visual and audio grading and way beyond, with incredible clear MONO sound, that can only be found on these rare 1st pressings.
The White Album is a complex and varied collection of music, and is also a relatively sensitive piece of vinyl, and hard to find in clear audio condition.
Worn copies can have a lot of surface sound even on musically complex and busy tracks like Helter Skelter .
This pressing has strong undistorted audio, with Super clear sound.
There is certainly no dominant interference, nothing repetitive or obtrusive or even that noticeable to be honest.
It really sounds great and plays with great sound separation and clarity Superb sound, every track has been tested and I could find no obvious sound blemishes.
Some light occasional static, and it is light and occasional.
Wonderful TOP audio, there are obviously NO sticks or jumps what so ever, and little surface sound between the tracks.
I will give a detailed account below: Bursting in with Back in the USSR this great track often plays with lots of loud static and at times with a jump, that came as a pressing fault on some early editions.
Not here, crystal audio, just some very light occasional background static at the start, and certainly not any jumps or faults.
Dear Prudence , such a hard track for the White Album, nearly always prone to heavy wear being the first quiet track on the record, here sounds great.
There are three light tics at the start, but absolutely minimal static, and certainly no pops or clicks, incredibly bright audio.
Glass Onion sounds incredibly crisp and clear.
No pops or clicks and not a hint of blurring or distortion.
Obla Di Obla Da also sounds great with flawless audio.
Honey Pie also plays very clearly with a single tic between tracks, leading into Bungalow Bill which plays just superbly.
Perfect Audio.
Still no pops or clicks or loud static, and crystal clear sound.
There is some light static and the occasional static tic between tracks, but certainly nothing obtrusive.
My Guitar Gently Weeps also plays superbly, barely any static, and no pops or clicks during the music, just beautiful clear, sharp music.
Happiness rounds off side 1.
again with bright clear sound.
No loud pops or clicks anywhere, just great bright sound.
Fantastic Side 2.
of the White Album virtually always starts of with heavy static.
Here there is some slight static near the start of Martha My Dear but it is extremely light and theres not a single pop or click throughout.
So Tired plays really well with minimal static, absolutely stunning audio.
Leading into Blackbird , of course one of the quietest tracks on the record.
Here it plays with lovely clear bright sound, no distortion, no pops, just some very occasional static.
Piggies sounds great, nice clear sound with just a couple of very light tics.
Rocky Racoon , another sparse track plays superbly, with great clear sound.
No pops, no clicks, barely any static.
Leading into Don t Pass Me By , which plays with absolutely superb quality.
Why Don t We Do It in The Road also plays great with no pops, no clicks, and minimal background static.
I Will and the beautiful Julia , always a major test for the White Album, being such a tender and sparse track.
Both tracks sounds wonderful and clear, with just some ultra light static, and no distortion, and no pops or clicks.
Julia in particular sounds wonderful.
There is one ultra light pop in the middle and thats it.
This is an extremely rare pressing with amazingly clear sound and barley any obvious static or surface sound at all.
Side 3.
begins with the rockous Birthday , which sounds great, bright loud superb audio.
Moving into the paired down Yer Blues which also plays great, with no pops or clicks, and minimal occasional light background static, the kind found on all vinyls.
Mother Natures Son , one of the other quietest tracks on the White Album sings out with very quiet run ins and quiet areas.
Great music with great clarity, and so hard to find with this type of sound.
There are no pops and barely any audible static or surface sound at all.
Unbelievable.
Take it Easy and Sexy Sadie continue with the same high standard, with not a single light pop or click.
Helter Skelter plays superbly, largely flawless audio.
Long Long Time , another of the quietest tracks on The White Album plays with no pops or clicks and an absolute minimal of static.
The vocals are clear and crisp and the sound is just fantastic .
Side 4.
begins with Revolution and plays with nice clear runs ins and great clear audio.
Honey Pie , sounds amazingly, with barely any static for such a paired down track.
Savoy Truffle plays with bright clear sound.
Cry Baby Cry and Can you Take Me Back , which plays so clear and bright, with barely any light static at all, and certainly nothing prominent.
The long abstract Revolution 9 , a track that can be plague by unwanted noise, sounds superb, with no loud loud pops or clicks, just some light static and a few faint background tics.
Leading into the final track of this Beatles masterpiece, Good Night , again a quiet track, so often playing with poor distorted sound, but on this press sounding great.
No pops or clicks, barely any light occasional static, and super clear bright sound.
This is a great all round example of this classic vinyl.
The music jumps out, with amazing definition and clarity, the vocals which come through with tremendous power.
Its the same with the bass guitar and drums, whilst the guitars come through crisp and clear.
The tonal quality make this a sensational pressing.
With the clear and extra loud First cut engineering giving the audio a vibrant sound which cannot be beaten.
Staggering first MONO mix, nothing like the re-issues which lack the depth and impact.
This is a great Audio pleasure and I would have to give the Audio an EXCELLENT PLUS to NEAR MINT grading.
Its a truly stunning example.
THE RECORD - Visual Grading A superb set of glossy vinyls, and a really thick pressing.
Deep clear grooves that can only be found on the original early pressings, this vinyl set has been barely played and in daylight looks largely unmarked.
Under a spot light it does have some sleeve removal marks, but the are light and have no effect on the sound.
There are no hairlines, or scratches or prominent marks, and certainly no marks that cause any sound interference s.
There are a few very faint handling marks, this vinyl shows no groove wear.
Unbelievable to think this vinyl is over 40 years old A great example I would easily grade them at EXCELLENT PLUS to NEAR MINT.
VINYL TESTED FOR ANY SIGNS OF WARPING: Yes, NONE visible what so ever, when tested be sight and on a moving turntable.
THE COVER Comes with the original TOP Loading NUMBERED Gatefold Sleeve by GARROD LOFTHOUSE, in simply stunning condition.
Simply stunning example, it is made in the heavy thick card and is fully laminated with the title THE BEATLES embossed under the laminate.
Number 0267959 .
This really is a great cover, with little to fault it, other than some very light handling marks in the form of a couple of laminate creases, and some slight corner wear.
The spine is un flattened and virtually unmarked.
One of the cleanest I ve seen.
The cover has maintained its creamish white sheen, and very light wear only.
There is no feathering to the Top openings, which is very rare.
Easily grades as EXCELLENT PLUS THE LABELS Famous Apple labels are in amazing Condition, no marks, no discernible spindle wear, and virtually NO spindle traces at all.
Perhaps one or two barely visible.
Stunning all round examples.
For a 1st press Mono edition to have labels like these is truly astonishing.
Incredible examples.
Easily grades as NEAR MINT THE INNERSSo hard to find in original condition, and not replaced by late replicas, which are significantly different.
Made out of very thin paper these Original BLACK inner sleeves in EXCELLENT condition.
A great set.
No seem splits, just lightly creased and two small tears to the die cut centres of one sleeve only.
One tiny 2mm tear to one of the top opening edges.
These incredibly delicate inner sleeve were usually destroyed and are often passed off with replacement replica inners, which are obviously different in form.
So rare to find a complete original set in this condition.
Incredible THE POSTER Large original 1st press Lip Stick PHOTO-MONTAGE and LYRIC SHEET, 57 x 87 cms in superb EXCELLENT to NEAR MINT condition.
Again, not to be confused with posters from later pressings, there 1st press posters are unique, this is the heaviest variant ever, so matt its almost textured, and in as new condition.
I doubt this could ever be bettered This great example comes with NO tears or splits, no wear on the edges.
- No tears.
No writing, no pin-holes, no glue or sellotape marks.
A superb original example.
THE PRINTS Comes with all Four Photos which are in EXCELLENT PLUS condition.
All Four Prints, 20 x 29 cms, on the original Thick Card.
- No tears, no writing, no pin-holes, no glue or sellotape marks.
A solid and rare original set, not replacements.
Guaranteed THE PHOTO SPACER Also comes with the ULTRA RARE PHOTO SPACER.
These were included in the original 1st pressings only, as an aid to hang the four prints.
As the four prints were nearly always stuck to peoples walls, this thin paper guide was nearly always lost or discarded.
So incredibly rare to have one in EXCELLENT PLUS condition, very light creasing only.
