THE BEATLES White Album 2-LP Gatefold vinyl set 1968 First Press SWBO-101 Stereo Please read everything carefully below so you know the rarity you are buying Embossed and Mega low number A 0490960 Original 1968 U.S. Los Angeles CA very early first pressing of The Beatles 'White Album'. The very glossy LPs are MINT and the nicest I've ever offered with NO scratches, NO hairlines, which is so hard to find after 56 years. Incredible low very early J40/J41 Matrix stamps, which are documented as the very first pressings after Harrison remastered the 'Compressed White Album'. These J40/J41 lacquers are visually UNBANDED, and are the only ones of this kind, only found with J40/J41 matrix stamps. The labels are absolutely stunning *MINT* with NO writing, NO tears, NO price stickers and NO glue residue. This is one of the nicest copies you'll see for sale !! This is one of the nicest covers I have seen, as well as the labels, with freshly corrected song titles, from the 7-errors. The uniquely rare error cover only adds to the splendor !! STUNNING *NM* Ultra Mega RARE ERROR cover, where when you open up the gatefold, the inside photos and songs title are upside down. Never saw one like this before in over 40 years of collecting !! The outer/inner spines are completely intact ! The front, back cover and inner gatefold are *NM* with NO seam splits, ZERO SEAM SPLITS !! No taped seams !! No repaired seams !! NO WRITING on the front, back or inside the sleeve, and NO WRITING on any of the record labels ! The spindle holes are exceptionally nice. Comes with the 4 MINT original thick-stock portrait photos and with original NM poster and lyrics, with no pin holes ! The Original VG+ inner sleeves are present. These low numbered White Albums are quickly disappearing forever, with the J40/J41 stamps !! ****** A machine stamped * star indicates that the record was pressed at the Los Angeles California plant ****** These are the rarest J40/J41 matrix stamps you'll ever for sale. All the photos you see above are completely undoctored and free from any Photoshop, and are of the EXACT treasures you will receive !! The cardboard used in the making of The White Album was extremely poor and susceptible to the seams easily separating, fading, soiling, ring wear, and both of the spines just disintegrating. Most of you who look to buy these treasures know that 99% of White Albums in circulation are weak at best. This is your chance to purchase a NM/MINT stunning White Album as the NM cover has ZERO splits, NO writing, NO stickers and a super strong outer/inner spine which is so very impossible to find, as well as the mint LPs, now 56 years later. If you are not absolutely thrilled with your White Album purchase, you may return it for a full refund !!!

The first 25 White Albums were numbered with an 'A' prefix and then a series of zeros preceding the number (e.g. A0000009). There are always seven digits following the 'A' so if it was a single digit number it would be preceded by six zeroes or if it was a two digit number it would be preceded by five zeroes. It is not known what the 'A' was indicative of (it may mean printed in America or Apple but neither is confirmed). Numbers 26-99 were three digit numbers preceded with a zero and no prefix. Numbers 100 through approximately 209,999 were preceded with the correct number of zeroes to make them a seven digit number (never having a letter prefix) Beginning around 210,000 to up near 590,000, they were preceded by a zero and had an 'A' prefix. Copies 590,000 up to about 1,350,000 remain at seven digits using a leading zero if necessary and are prefixed with a large dot. The next batch from 1,350,000 up to 2,000,000 are prefixed with a thinner 'A' then used earlier From over 2,000,000 to around 2,250,000 some are prefixed with a large dot and some with the 'A' From 2,250,000 up to 3,000,000 the numbers are prefixed with the abbreviation for number (i.e. No.) On some of these the 'o' in No. is raised with the period below it instead of beside it. For the final numbers over 3,000,000 the numbers are prefixed with a wide 'A'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The rare treasures you see pictured are the EXACT items you are buying and will receive.
