beatles White Album Rarest I’ve Seen. With Avedon portraits black & White NM

Description: I’m selling a few Beatles albums for someone liquidating their vinyl due to health issues. Yes I get 10% of the selling prices. I’ve never seen a Beatles White Album such as this. He claims this was in the works using Richard Avedon’s black, and white photos. I did a double take. I only found one reference to Apple using Avedon’s photos - These appear to be original photograph’s with a black backing of each portrait . I assume to protect the photos that are each housed separately. The album is a numbered TOP LOADER . As this is German - I’m not that familiar with German Beatles albums - The number is embossed, and difficult to read. From what I can see the # is 411634 . This cover is the cleanest I’ve ever seen for a top load White Album . Cover made in Germany. I had to cherry pick as last I sold on eBay you were limited to twelve pictures The cover is an easy EX. No seam splits, flipbacks are in perfect order. No tears ,no yellowing etc.etc. Grading can be difficult so I’m grading it EX while most would grade as NM. Nothing on front of cover except BEATLES and the embossed number. Back cover has small “ stereo “ on upped top right. The poster I did not unfold, as it appeared from what I can see, and what he told me the poster was never opened. If you’re a serious possible buyer, and want me to open it, I will. Remember this is close on fifty four years old. The two inner die cut black sleeves appear to be in perfect condition . He said he had put in some type of lined inner sleeves sold in Europe at the time. You never - I’ve never - seen black inner sleeves this flimsy in such great condition. You can see outline of where records were as they obviously were in those sleeves when sold. The album is a second pressing from what I could glean . First being SMO . Then there was a 172. I don’t know if they were considered first, and second pressings,which would make this 192 a third pressing, he assured me it was a 1970 pressing with the exact same matrices as the first pressings. Here are a,bum stats . Album 1. YEX 709 - 1 Album 2. YEX 710 - 1 Album 3. YEX 711 - 1 Album 4. YEX 712 - 1 All stamped in deadwax. There is also the catalog number 1 C 192 - 04 - 173 and 174 and A 1 and B 1 . This is a ridiculous read in the etched deadwax. I’m sure if you’re a collector you know more about this than I do. Condition. Of both albums. I had two people look at the labels ,spindle holes,and vinyl. The three of us agreed both albums APPEAR unplayed. I say appeared as someone this guy bought it from claimed it was never played. If it was they were very,very careful, and stored very well. I’m grading NM as I’ve NOT PLAYED EITHER RECORD ! Again if a serious potential buyer wants me to put on my table - REGA Planar 2 tracking at 1.5 grams - I will do so. I put records on flat surface, both are flat . But again I’ve not put them on my table. I read up as much as I could on this German 192 catalog album. People claim different things, but all say it’s a great sounding pressing. Some say the YEX on all four sides is the same as first pressing SMO. I don’t quite understand where the 172 comes in here. If you view the four individual black, and white photographs. They are photos - nothing like the 8 by 10 or whatever size they were in the USA - which are inexpensive offset mini posters for lack of a better term. I looked all over the internet for these four black and white headshots . I found them but NONE remotely in this size. All are quite large, and over $500. Each ! I have no idea if this was the original idea as suggested in the article I’m enclosing in the ad . From what I read there was some dispute in respect to had the copyrights at the time the White Album was to be released . The photos were in limbo. It would make sense that these would have been what the White Album would have wanted , I just can’t see it being cost effective unless they made them as offsets like the colour photos they did use for the White Album. Ps. There is an interview with someone that worked with Avedon , and they have these four images on the set. It had something to do with Harvard , that’s all I recall. Shipping with insurance in the USA . The albums will NOT be in the cover, they will be in MoFi liners protected by thin cardboard on each side. The photos will be inside the cover . Poster and black inners inside the top load cover, the records will also be separated from the cover with thicker cardboard . Cost of shipping with insurance - I’m winging this as I have no idea at this time what this will realize - $30.00 USD in USA with insurance . I Will not ship to any country in the Middle East due to this horrific conflict . I’ll only ship to Japan, and the UK. Will not to Western Europe as customs are a mess at this time. Sorry … Japan $50. UK $40.
