Here's very invaluable information on how The Beatles White Albums were numbered, and the meaning behind all the sequences: - The first 25 White Albums were numbered with an “A” prefix and then a series of zeros preceding the number (e.g. A0000009). There are always seven digits following the “A” so if it was a single digit number it would be preceded by six zeroes or if it was a two digit number it would be preceded by five zeroes. It is not known what the “A” was indicative of (it may mean “printed in America” or “Apple” but neither is confirmed). - Numbers 26-99 were three digit numbers preceded with a zero and no prefix. - Numbers 100 through approximately 209,999 were preceded with the correct number of zeroes to make them a seven digit number (with no letter prefix) - Beginning around 210,000 to up near 590,000, they were preceded by a zero and had an 'A' prefix. - Later copies up to about 1,350,000 remain at seven digits using a leading zero if necessary and are prefixed with a large dot. - The next batch from 1,350,000 up to some point past 2,000,000 are prefixed with an “A” but it's a thinner “A” than used earlier.
