Hi! Help To Identify This Copy Of 'the Beatles'

HI- I haven't posted here in a while - hope you are all ok...

I have come across a copy of 'The Beatles' that I am a bit (a lot) stuck on and hoped you could help. I have checked Discogs and all that but can't seem to find it - it is some sort of reissue. First I thought 1969, then 1976 and now 1978 and am rather confused... the description is as follows..

Factory Sample UK pressing of 'The Beatles'. This version has a laminated side opening sleeve, plain inners, four colour photographs and a poster, no 'Sold in the UK Subject to..' and the rim text does not go all the way around (there are gaps at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock) and Matrix Number are 709-1/710-3/711-1/712/1 and (in order) RMH/MR/RTT/RHR which are a bit unusual, at least I can't find them anywhere.... also this is an UN-Numbered sleeve. I don't actually know what year this is and I have researched quite a bit - so if anyone can tell me please do! Both sleeve and vinyl are marked as Factory Samples

Very much appreciated
Tony

with those stampers i would educatedly best estimate 76-78

the sample sticker should be oblong.

HI - It does appear to be the 1977 - many thanks for this information. I imagine there is nothing too outstanding or rare about this issue?

many thanks

That one is not rare, but the music is great.
