Question on cutting for Beatles White album on white vinyl in 1978?

I have been eyeing one on Discogs so I contacted the seller and asked a few questions about it.
To late he recently sold it on eBay and didn't take the Discogs listing down yet.

 

I did it, tracked another DMM down. The man said it's never been played and I got a great price on it.
Pics and review will follow, he'll ship today or tomorrow.
This is exciting,...hey I just remembered that the 50 year anniversary of this album is upon us soon.
Maybe they'll do something special.

 

That's the DMM white vinyl ? Then you got lucky !

 

Yes it's the DMM white vinyl, if this comes through then I would say I got extremely lucky after I saw the pics he sent me.

 

Perhaps it was French Pathé Marconi ? I know there were at least eight different coloured releases of Pepper, which was ridiculous, in their Disque Couleur series.

 

Original US Version

 

Weren't all color LPs from that time virgin? That is sure to have helped with improving the SQ, along with the mastering of course.

 

Don't you just love watching it on the turntable go 'round, I do

 

The 1985 white vinyl DMM of "The BEATLES" (aka The White Album) by The Beatles arrived yesterday and I am at this moment listening to it for a 3rd time.
I think it was Mr Hoffman that said the bass isn't good on this record, I have to say some of the songs are really messed up because of it.
I won't bother with side 3 again, Birthday, Yer Blues & Long, Long, Long are about the worst versions I have ever heard of them because of the bass.
Not wild about on Dear Prudence & Glass Onion because of it. But I love the bass on I'm So Tired, it has a sticky plucking sound to it that I never picked on before and the lead vocals are awesome.
Some of the other lead vocals are great too, the piano in the intro of While My Guitar Gently Weeps kicks it off perfect.
I'm glad I got it, I have been listening to as many different versions as I can get and the 1978 UK white vinyl is by far the best sounding of them all.
I feel very fortunate to have gotten a copy of that '78 UK as it is in NM condition.

 

Yes, that German 85 white vinyl DMM is bass heavy. If your system is especially bass revealing, it will be really bloated. I used to like it a lot, but after getting both an original 1st German top loader SMO, and a UK white vinyl from 78 to compare, those sound much better with EQ balance (as much as there can be). Either of those would get my vote on the most accurate representations of the album (on vinyl) there are. You cant go wrong with a UK stereo original top loader either (which I've had), but the 78 white vinyl still gets the edge, for me.

 

I have a Dutch EMI-Bovema lavender coloured vinyl copy of Band On The Run and it sounds quite nice, though I haven't compared it to my UK or US. Seems like I've come across lots of Dutch coloured vinyl from the late '70s and early '80s. Seems like I've seen a white vinyl Beggars Banquet.

 

Checked my UK Export "White Vinyl" White Album. Holding up to a light, you can see right through it...and yes it does sound amazing

 

After reading this thread, I decided to check out my German DMM white vinyl copy. I think it was played once and
copied to a Maxell XLII tape (that was my usual MO back in the day.) Anyway, the receipt was still in it.
$14. Ronny must've given me a discount!
