(Qty: 10) The White Album leading this attractive lot of Beatles albums is a true first pressing, which was only available in UK stores for barely a week. When this album was released, pressings were being shifted from Parlophone to Apple labels and some mistakes were made. Whoever was in charge "forgot" to put "An EMI Recording" on any of the White Album's labels, thus constituting a clear copyright violation. Only five days after production started, on 27th November 1968, officials corrected that error and were most probably unaware of the fact that by doing so they created a highly sought-after collector item, namely a "true first press variation". The labels on this copy do not carry the "An EMI Recording", confirming this record was manufactured in the first five days of production. This album was the first The Beatles undertook following the death of their manager Brian Epstein. Originally entitled "A Doll's House", the title was changed when the British progressive rock band Family released the similarly titled "Music in a Doll's House" earlier that year.
