THE BEATLES The Beatles [White Album] (Super rare UK original EMI Records South East Asia Ltd export 2-LP, circa 1969, on the entirely black & silver Parlophone one-box EMI label, not the usual Apple Records. The Singaporean subsidiary recordcompany of Electric & Musical Industries Ltd. (EMI) was established January 1967, and renamed to EMI (Singapore) Pte. Limited in 1971, so this pressing pre-dates that later change. This S.E.A. variant was destined for sale in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. The matt black Parlophone one-box EMI labels show entirely silver print, and unlike similar one-box EMI labels from '69/'70 the outlined EMI box logo presented here is entirely silver, no hint of white at all. The label perimeter print begins 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd. All Rights…' and ends 'Copying Of This Record Prohibited', and there is no country of manufacture stated anywhere on the label. The matrices and centre label ridge indicate this to be a UK pressing. Housed inside an early UK top-opening gatefold laminated picture sleeve without Stereo imprinted, numbered No. 0201462, complete with 4 portraits and fold-out poster, plus 2 x E.M.I. RECORDS (S.E.A.) LTD printed company inner sleeves with both red and black EMI elliptical logos one side and a series of shadow box logos on the reverse) See 'more info' for additional details…#Top 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
