It's expected to raise thousands...

One of the earliest and most sought-after numbered versions of the Beatles' 'White Album' has been put up for auction on eBay.

The album – no. 0000005 – was given by John Lennon to a close friend before it entered the public domain.

Number's 1-4 of the album, which went 19 times platinum, were given to the four members of the Beatles.

Originally self-titled, the album came to be known as the 'White Album' because of its minimalist artwork, which was created by pop artist Richard Hamilton,

Julia Hutton-Potts, spokesperson for eBay in the UK, described the lot as “a unique piece of memorabilia for any Beatles fan.”

The auction, which closes on November 23rd, is expected to raise thousands.
