Description

The Beatles, universally known as The White Album, is one of the most influential and ambitious albums ever released. Issued in November 1968, the double LP saw the band explore an extraordinary range of musical styles, from hard rock and folk to blues, avant-garde experimentation and orchestral pop. Featuring timeless classics including "Back In The U.S.S.R.", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Blackbird", "Helter Skelter", "Dear Prudence" and "Happiness Is A Warm Gun", the album remains one of the defining works of popular music.

Pressing Notes

Early UK numbered stereo pressing on Apple Records, catalogue number PCS 7067/7068, featuring the desirable "An E.M.I. Recording" text on the Apple labels and the original numbered sleeve No. 0450934.

This copy retains the complete first-cut matrix set:

YEX 709-1
YEX 710-1
YEX 711-1
YEX 712-1

These original lacquer cuts were mastered at EMI Studios and are highly regarded for their outstanding analogue sound quality. Unlike later UK reissues, this pressing was manufactured using the original mastering and retains the warm, dynamic presentation that collectors seek. Numbered sleeves combined with complete -1/-1/-1/-1 matrices remain particularly desirable among Beatles enthusiasts.
