Description

The Beatles, universally known as The White Album, is one of the most celebrated and influential albums in music history. Released in November 1968, the band's ninth studio album showcases an extraordinary range of musical styles, from hard rock and blues to folk, country, psychedelia and avant-garde experimentation. Featuring iconic tracks including Back In The U.S.S.R., While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Blackbird, Helter Skelter, Dear Prudence and Happiness Is A Warm Gun, it remains an essential album in any vinyl collection.

Pressing Notes

Early UK numbered stereo pressing on Apple Records, catalogue number PCS 7067/7068, complete with numbered sleeve No. 0443719.

This copy retains three original first-cut stereo lacquers together with the desirable early second cut for Side Four:

Side 1: YEX 709-1
Side 2: YEX 710-1
Side 3: YEX 711-1
Side 4: YEX 712-2

The -2 Side Four lacquer replaced the original -1 cut very early in production, making this matrix combination a recognised early UK pressing. Pressed using EMI's renowned analogue mastering, these early numbered editions remain among the most sought-after stereo versions of The White Album.
