Whites Only

THIS GUY HERE is showcasing 700 first-edition copies of The White Album:
“Each album has aged uniquely and become an artifact of the last half-century,” Chang explained. “Having an all-white cover, the wear of the albums is especially apparent. In addition to maturing from natural causes, people tend to personalize the albums with writings, drawings, and all kinds of things I could never imagine. The original pressings were also serialized, implying that they are part of a set of over 3 million that are out there somewhere.”
Seems normal.

I bought my copy on the Square in Oxford in 1995, so prolly not a first edition...what the fuck was the name of that record store? Sold enough Happy Scene records to buy the VU box set, h8rz!!!
