From the DISCOGS web page regarding this pressing:
A mispressing from the original rejected Capitol master. When mastering the White Album for the U.S., Capitol Records had applied much more dynamic limiting in the mastering process than the U.K. release. When George Harrison (who was in the U.S. at the time) heard this unreleased version, he demanded Capitol remaster the album to reflect the U.K. mastering before the album's official U.S. release. However, stampers taken from the original rejected Capitol master did make it out to the Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Scranton by mistake and were used in pressings at Scranton before being retired and replaced with George Harrison's approved U.S. master.
First pressing has "MFD. BY CAPITOL...." in white rim text on sides 2 and 4, with various title mistakes and unique number on the front cover.
This pressing has minor spelling variations on the labels: A4: "OBLADI OBLADA", A6: "BUNGALOW BILL", B7: "WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD" (without question mark) , D1: "REVOLUTION NO. 1", D5: "REVOLUTION NO. 9" and D6: "GOODNIGHT".
Cover has "The BEATLES" embossed, located towards the lower right corner, and sequentially numbered.
Pressed at Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Scranton as identified by the "IAM" in a triangle stamp in the run-outs.
