Marky Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Can someone please help! I have a 1968 edition of the White Album on Apple label, all mint condition including poster and photos, PCS7067 My frustration is that there is no issue number, or if there is I can't find it, should it be on the cover? I know for fact this is a genuine 1968 version as it was the father-in-laws! So surely it should have an issue number. I'm new on the vinyl scene so any advise you can offer me appreciated. Thanks.

Tommy Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Have you tried researching on Discogs yet? https://www.discogs.com/Beatles-The-Beatles/master/46402 If not, that's a great place to start your search. Good luck Marky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monklover Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Only the first (so many hundred)thousand(s)? Had numbers on them (if you mean embossed on the front cover) After that they were not numbered. I'm pretty sure it's possible you could have an original 1968 issue that is not numbered...certainly any other late 60's to today issues will not be numbered. There are TONS of copies of the white album out there, only the very first issues have the embossed numbers other cover (though this is also a lot of issues) If you mean like pressing information (catalog #) then discogs, as was mentioned.

Marky Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Thanks Tommy, have checked Discogs, can't see my UK version on there at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezagenius Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Check the dead wax area between the groove and label. There's usually writing or stamping of some kind there. That will give you plenty of info to check on discogs. Or tell us what the dead wax writing says and we might be able to help. Does it have a number embossed or stamped on the front cover? It would be like "No 0021517" or something like that. EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psus2h Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Thanks Tommy, have checked Discogs, can't see my UK version on there at all. Marky you find better help on the Steve Hoffman boards. I don't think there are many hard core Beatles collectors here, but if you need help with a blink-182 album you've come to the right place.

I always love it when folks pop into a thread to say this after the entire thread has been nothing but helpful... jonnywreck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Ok people have been helpful, no doubt. But is anyone here an insane Beatles fan that knows the discography as well as people over at Hoffman? I wasn't trying to be a dick, but if OP has more questions that'll be a better venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems like someone says something similar in any thread that isn't a pop-punk thread. Maybe if we stopped trying to send anyone who likes any other type of music someplace else...we'd have a more diverse group here. There's a pretty decent group of metal heads here now, and I collect a good bit of classic rock stuff (not a huge Beatles fan if we're being honest) but there are definitely people here who can help out to some extent.

psus2h Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 That's a great point man. I agree with you. The Metallica scene is picking up. People are more familiar with NIN presses. My first post in the thread was a bit knee jerk. piky0032 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first post in the thread was a bit knee jerk. Nah, it's all good. I know where you were coming from. It's not necessarily you, but some the way some of the users around here have been acting lately is the worst so I'm in a bit of a mood.

hezagenius Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 https://www.discogs.com/Beatles-The-Beatles/release/1113362 It was literally the first entry. I counted 8 UK pressings on Apple with PCS7067 in 1968 so I wouldn't assume it's the first one listed. Mourning Wood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrocks Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 if it doesnt have a number on the cover its not a 1968 pressing there are probably 5 million total with serial numbers and several million more without, this one is probably 1972+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewOldStock Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Are the inner sleeves black? The first presses were. The number is on the front of the sleeve near the raised The Beatles text. You can't miss it. If it's not there and the text isn't raised, it's a later pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
