THE BEATLES White Album 2 - LP 1st Press NUMBERED Apple SWBO - 101 G/VG
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:2085490 | UPC: Does not apply |
Original 1960s self-titled, two-LP set by The Beatles commonly known as, "The White Album." This is on the Apple label SWBO 101 (original first pressing). This also has the individually-numbered, factory-stamping in the lower-right corner of the front side of the cover. Grading is as follows:
The vinyls are both in very clean, good to very good (G to VG) condition with full gloss, some very general surface wear only, and all play very ...well! Some 'ticks' and 'clicks' here and there but no skips etc. I played all four sides with a regular Stanton stylus (tracked at 1.5 grams). Some very light, faint spindle marks on each of the labels. Both records are housed in their original, plain white inner sleeves, one of which also has the LP catalog number factory handwritten in pencil on one side!!
The gatefold cover is in good (G) solid condition. As shown in the photos, there is someone's old artwork/pen doodling on both the front and back sides. There is also much splitting along the top and bottom seam edges of both the front and back record pockets and the original owner repaired some of it with clear tape. The spine is completely un-split and this is still a decent cover with a clean interior and no severe surface or corner damage etc. This one does not have the four photos or the insert poster; it is the cover and two records only.

Buyer satisfaction and returns: Item must be returned to me in the same condition as it was packaged and mailed to the buyer.
Items are normally shipped within 1 to 2 business days from receipt of payment.
My vinyl and cover/sleeve gradings are as follows:
MINT: I do not use this grade except for sealed/unopened items.
NEAR MINT or MINT MINUS: Vinyl looks basically brand new, untouched, unplayed or nearly unplayed. Cover looks pretty much as new with no real flaws to speak of. This is basically how the item would have looked when it was new from the factory.
VG++: Very close to M-, with vinyl showing only the very slightest, most subtle signs of any past handling or play. Cover may show just the barest hint of wear from age, but nothing at all serious or detracting.
VG+: Vinyl shows some subtle signs that it was played in the past, but was generally well taken care of. Cover shows only some minor signs of age or wear, but nothing too detracting.
VG: Vinyl is beginning to show more obvious signs of past handling and play but still has strong sound quality overall. Cover is beginning to show more signs of age and wear, but is fully intact and still displays very well overall.
GOOD: Vinyl has very obvious signs of wear from over the years, but still plays strongly and enjoyably enough. Cover has obvious wear and tear from age, but is intact and still displayable.
***My very good and good records are very good and good, not bad and even worse! I also do not use the EX (excellent) grading at all.***
FAIR: Record wasn’t properly cared for in the past and very clearly shows it, but it is still playable and should be enjoyable enough for some. I rarely offer records in this condition.
