Story & Background
For this 1968 first pressing of the "White Album", the immaculate and intentionally anonymous white cover, the work of celebrated pop artist Richard Hamilton, represents a fundamental chapter in the history of record design. In stark contrast to the psychedelic opulence of *Sgt. Pepper's*, Hamilton conceived a work that parodied mass production, elevating each individual copy to a unique piece of art. The true gem for every connoisseur is the progressive serial number, individually hand-stamped on the bottom right of each cover. This numbering was not a mere detail, but a satirical comment on exclusivity and a way to make each album a limited edition. The very first copies, from A0000001, were destined for the band members and EMI executives, with Ringo Starr owning, for a long period, the highly coveted number one copy. A detail that makes every 1st pressing an invaluable fragment of musical and artistic history.
