Beatles, The - The Beatles (White album) - Apple - LP Numbered Photograph Poster - Rock Pop 60s

Original Mono 2 LP

with original numbered top opening gatefold

and embossed cover

with original contents:

2 x stiff white glossy {one side} boards**     (slight creasing on some corners)

** almost never seen these before but the item came with 1 board in each gatefold opening-colouring matches that of the sleeve but slightly creamier

2 x single die-cut black inner sleeve

4 x darker colouring colour photographs

*** early copies of these photos were a darker tone but as the LP was repressed the tone of these prints got lighter-people often use later photos to 'complete' an older pressing where the photos are damaged or missing (frequently in the 60s the photos were stuck on walls and occasionally never returned to the sleeve)-be aware of this when buying 'originals'

very minor creasing

(this poster is often missing and replaced by a 'whiter' version from a more recent or later pressing-see above comment on the photos/prints)
