Item Description

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 MONO 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 , 1 SPACER, 2 BLACK APPLE INNERS, AND VERY LOW NUMBERED 0025158 TOP OPENING GATEFOLD MONO COVER

IN FACT, THE MEGA LOW 0025158 NUMBER IS ONE OF THE LOWEST NUMBERS I HAVE EVER SEEN - AND CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THIS LP WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE WAY BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE ADVANCE ORDERS COLLECTED FROM THE RECORD SHOP ON THE VERY FIRST DAY OF RELEASE

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 MONO 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, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS . SO EVEN THOUGH THIS DOUBLE LP HAS NO EMI RECORD TEXT ON ANY OF THE LABELS - THIS IS CLEARLY COMPLETE FANTASY AND AN IRRELEVANCE HERE. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS DOUBLE LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND IS VERY HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION NOW THE POSTER IS IN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONDITION AND CLEARLY HASNT EVER LEFT THE COVER , THE 4 COLOUR PRINTS ARE SIMPLY STUNNING I HAVE EVEN TAKEN A PICTURE OF THE BACK OF THEM , THE BLACK INNERS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO SPLITS FOR ONCE , THE RECORDS ARE BOTH IN BRILLIANT CONDITION WITH SUPERB LABELS - AND EVEN THE GATEFOLD COVER IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION - WITH 100 PERFECT SPINE TEXT FOR ONCE THIS DOUBLE LP EVEN HAS ITS ORIGINAL BLANK SPACER USED TO SEPARATE EACH GROUP OF 4 PRINTS IN THE PACKING PROCESS - WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU ALMOST NEVER SEE NOW JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES

IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING, THAT FOR ONCE ALL PARTS OF THIS DOUBLE LP ARE 100 GENIUNE 1ST PRESS ITEMS - AND HAVE NOT BEEN SWOPPED OR CHANGED FROM A LATER PRESSING AS YOU CAN SEE IN MY PICTURES THE LIPSTICK AREA ON THE POSTER IS 100 SHARP IN DETAIL AND IS NOT FADED AT ALL LATER ONES ARE . AND ALL PARTS OF THE POSTERS HAVE PERFECT PRINTING - WHICH IS NOT PRESENT ON LATER ONES THE FOUR COLOUR PRINTS ARE PERFECT IN COLOUR SIZE, WITH DEEP COLOURS AND ONLY A VERY LIGHTLY TEXTURED BACK LATER ONES HAVE HEAVIER TEXTURE . MOST IMPORTANTLY THE BACK OF THE COLOUR PRINTS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME COLOUR AS THE BORDER ON THE FRONT OF THEM LATER ONES ARENT AND THE SPACER IS MADE OF THIN PAPER, IS LIGHTLY AGED WHICH CANNOT BE FAKED AND HAS A VERY LIGHTLY TEXTURED BACK AND SMOOTH FRONT FAKE SPACERS DON T SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL, THAT EVERY SINGLE PART OF THIS DOUBLE LP LISTED ABOVE IS A 100 GENIUNE 1ST PRESS ITEM - AND COMPLETELY ORIGINAL TO THE DOUBLE LP SINCE THE DAY IT WAS MADE BACK IN 1968

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
