A rare first edition copy of The Beatles' 1968 White Album worth £1,000 has been donated to a charity shop. Volunteers at the British Heart Foundation shop discovered the piece of music memorabilia while sorting through a box of donated items.
It is thought to be incredibly rare, featuring a misprint unique to the first version of the record of which there are only 10,000 copies. The White Album, The Beatles ninth studio album, followed the hit Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The Fab Four released the double LP on November 22, 1968 with hits 'Helter Skelter' and 'While my guitar gently weeps' featuring. The record, complete with fold-out poster of the Fab Four, was donated to the branch in Sutton Coldfield last week.
