One of the holy grails of record collecting, the Beatles first pressing ‘White Album’ with lowest-possible number A0000001 (Apple 101, 1968) has been sold at Heritage Auctions. Most thought a copy of this magnitude would belong to one of the Beatles. The opening bid was set at $10,000.
Well, the auction ended and the price was more than I guessed, the rare White Album sold for an astounding $35,000.00!!
The Beatles White Album Poll shows that 47% of CVR blog readers got it correct (that it would sell for more than $30,000), so congrats to those who were right on target.!

Canada’s Apollo Music recently shared a look into the vinyl record hoarder house, a collection of more than 250,000 records which the company purchased last year. “When we first go there we couldn’t even get through the doorways!” they remarked. “It took us 6 months to pack and remove all the records from the house!”

A fan favourite and one of the most highly regarded and consistently strong albums from the Ozric's prolific and illustrious career.
This heavyweight yellow vinyl version comes with a bonus 12" single including a Youth remix of the UK Indie No.1 single, Sploosh!. Both discs are packaged in a gatefold sleeve.
One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK's festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient and ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves and psychedelic progressive rock in an open exploration of music and the spirit.
For over 25 years, the Ozrics have experienced the ups and downs of a rock and roll life lived to the full. The band has flourished through a number of line-up changes, spawned several side projects, created their own record label, put out close to 25 albums, scored a hit record and sold over a million albums world-wide. Throughout this, the basic motivation behind the band's existence has never wavered.
The Ozrics signature blend of hippy aesthetics and raver electronics with spiraling guitars, textured waves of keyboard and midi samplers, and supergroovy bass and drum rhythms continues to evolve and delight fans across the world to this day.
Pre-order for 9th September release.
