THE BEATLES - The Beatles

Item Description

2 x Vinyl,
LP Album Numbered Stereo

This is the first Australian stereo pressing, easily identifiable by the Royalty Stamps located on all labels to the left of the centre hole. These labels were in use until July 1969. They generally appear in sleeves numbered up to the early 50,000s although there is no hard cut off point.

Top loading laminated gatefold sleeve, five digit number with "A" prefix (grey in colour), black paper inner sleeves.
Includes four glossy photo inserts and lyrics/collage (censored) poster insert.

Note that the Australian stereo pressings of this album were made from US parts, hence the SWBO details. Pressings used parts from Capitol’s L.A. plant, * markings etched in dead wax.

Eric Clapton uncredited on A7 for contractual reasons.
