*The Beatles. The Beatles, a.k.a "The White Album" (PMC 7067/8), original 1968 UK first mono pressing double LP by The Beatles, Serial Number 0069379, including all original inserts in near mint condition (large While Hamilton collage poster with lyrics on reverse, four individual glossy photos of the band members by John Kelly each measuring 29cm x 20cm, packing spacer sheet separating poster and photos), original black inner sleeves in very good condition without seam splits, dark green Apple labels in excellent condition with only very minor spindle marks and carrying the text "Sold in U.K." and missing the all important "An EMI Recording", matrix numbers XEX 709-1/710-1/711-1/712-2, vinyl in excellent condition with only a few marks visible, original flip-back fully laminated top opening Garrod & Lofthouse gatefold sleeve in near mint condition free of any defects, writing, creases or splits and lamination fully intact This is a true first pressing, which was only available in UK stores for barely a week. When this album was released, pressings were being shifted from Parlophone to Apple labels and some mistakes were made. Whoever was in charge "forgot" to put "An EMI Recording" on any of the White Album's labels, thus constituting a clear copyright violation. Only five days after production started, on 27th November 1968, officials corrected that error and were most probably unaware of the fact that by doing so they created a highly sought-after collector item, namely a "true first press variation". The labels on this copy do not carry the "An EMI Recording" is therefore identified as having been manufactured in the first five days of production. This album was the first The Beatles undertook following the death of their manager Brian Epstein. Originally entitled "A Doll's House", the title was changed when the British progressive band Family released the similarly titled "Music in a Doll's House" earlier that year. (1)

London. Gill (MacDonald), Wonderground Map of London Town, published The Westminster Press, circa 1928, photolithographic colour printed map, a few closed tears and splits along old folds affecting image, 740 x 930 mm This is an example of the slightly smaller and later edition of Gill's original 1913 map. There is a 1924 edition which is assumed to have been altered to help the promotion of the 1924 British Empire Exhibition that was held at Wembley between April and October of that year. It can be identified by a sign saying:- 'On To Wembley' and an empire lion in the top left hand corner below the man pushing a bus. This example is a slightly later state with a greyhound replacing the lion. Greyhound racing started at Wembley in 1927 so this edition probably dates from 1927 or 1928. The map remains highly stylised and whimsical and was held in great affection by Londoners. It was originally commissioned by The London Underground and was designed to be displayed in tube stations. The intense pictorial content of the map caught the public's imagination and as a result Gill is often credited with creating a resurgence of the genre of decorative map making. Much work and research has been done by Roderick Barron and Bryars & Bryars on the maps of the Underground and the work of Macdonald Gill and I am also grateful to Claire Dobbins book, London Underground Maps: Art, Design and Cartography.
