THE BEATLES – "The Beatles (White Album)" Label: Apple Records – SWBO-101 (Capitol Records, Numbered Sleeve) Format: 2 × Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo, Numbered Edition Country: USA Released: 1968 Genre: Rock Style: Classic Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Experimental Rock DESCRIPTION Historic and highly collectible original U.S. numbered pressing of The Beatles’ legendary “White Album”, issued in late 1968 by Apple/Capitol Records (catalog SWBO-101). This version features the embossed “The BEATLES” title on the front cover and a machine-stamped serial number “A2411929” in gray ink — typical for early Los Angeles pressings of the first production wave (1968–early 1969). The “Stereo” mark is printed in the upper-right corner of the back cover, and the spine shows both “The BEATLES” and “Stereo SWBO-101”, using the thin serif font characteristic of first U.S. jackets. This copy remains factory sealed in its original vintage shrink wrap, complete with an original 1960s retail price sticker ($4.65) — a rare survivor from the album’s initial retail distribution period. A museum-grade example of a cornerstone rock album, ideal for top collectors seeking a genuine numbered U.S. 1968 copy still sealed in period shrink. CONDITION Vinyl: Presumed MINT (SEALED) Cover: Factory-sealed, never opened (Shrink & cardboard shows a tears along the upper edge, One corner is also damaged where the original shrink wrap is missing, but it’s nothing critical) NOTES Original U.S. 1968 Apple/Capitol numbered edition, catalog SWBO-101, embossed “The BEATLES” on front. Serial number A2411929 (Los Angeles A-prefix series, late 1968 batch). Stereo marking printed at top-right back corner. Spine text: “The BEATLES / Stereo SWBO-101”. Original vintage shrink wrap with store price tag “$4.65”, consistent with late-’60s retail pricing. Early U.S. issues included 4 individual color portraits + large fold-out lyric/poster insert (contents presumed inside). This is not a reissue or Capitol 1970s repress — authentic first-generation numbered U.S. Apple edition. #lesinrocks
