lot 46154 : the white album

It was thought that The White Album No.A0000001 never existed...
but it does and it's being auctioned by Heritage Auctions at the moment. Just start your bidding at $10.000 and this rare vinyl is yours providing you have bottomless pockets to outbid the rest of the Beatles/Vinyl/Art/Antique dealers, or whoever else holds their nerve.
It currently belongs to a guy who bought it from a guy who bought it from a Capitol Records executive in San Francisco, on April 2, 1989, and there's a letter to prove that in case your wondering.
Here's where you place your bid for the "precious"... 46154 (and not the above form, because you'll find that is a jpeg)

And here's a rather good little clip giving you some background on what 1968 and The White Album was all about.
