On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' and is a MONO UK pressing!!!! THIS LP IS VERY VERY RARE!!!! This is part of a HUGE collection of Beatles and other VERY rare LPs, EPs, & Singles I purchased from an ex-EMI man very VERY high up in EMI in the 1960s!!!! Most of the singles, EPs and LPs were either DEMOS, or FACTORY SAMPLES. In fact 99% of records I bought from this collection all had a Factory Sample Sticker on at least 1 of the labels!!!! Some of my regular buyers may have noticed that in the last few weeks I have put on rare DEMOs, Signed LPs, and Factory Sample EPs I obtained from this collection. This week I am putting on a selection of very VERY rare FACTORY SAMPLE LPs - all are in STUNNING condition, and most are MINT(Minus) or better!!!! DONT MISS OUT!!!! This is the ORIGINAL MONO UK pressing from 1967 and is in STUNNING condition for its age!!!! IT IS ALSO TOTALLY COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 'CUT-OUT' INSERT, GATEFOLD COVER, AND 'PSYCH' INNER!!!! ALL ARE IN FANTASTIC CONDITION!!!! This is an ORIGINAL Pressing with a Yellow & Black Label, a KT tax code, 'Sold in the UK' text, and the 'Gramophone Company' edge text. The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The matrix numbers are XEX 637-1 & XEX 638-1. The Cat. No is PMC 7027 on the ORIGINAL Yellow & Black Parlophone label (see picture) and is a MONO pressing!!!! All the tracks are Pure quality Beatles at their best!!!! Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!! The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and NO spindle marks!!!! LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF THE CENTRE HOLE - IT IS SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST CENTRE HOLES OF THIS LP I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! The record also has a 'FACTORY SAMPLE - NOT FOR SALE' sticker on one side of the record and this means this record was for EMI in-house use ONLY - by record execs or A&R men for reviewing latest releases!!!! IT IS VERY VERY RARE!!!! ONLY VERY VERY LIMITED AMOUNTS OF 'FACTORY SAMPLES' WERE EVER PRODUCED AND THEY ARE VERY VERY HARD TO FIND!!!! The vinyl is in STUNNING condition for its age. Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! IT PLAYS STUNNINGLY with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and NO crackle!!!! There is NO groovewear either and NO distortion. The record must grade FULL Excellent if not better!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 'Psych' inner - WHICH IS THE BEST INNER TO THIS LP I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! The inner is often the weakest link in this LP - but this inner has NO yellowing, NO splits, NO edge wear, NO staining and NO rips - it is as close to RECORD SHOP condition as you will EVER find!!!! AWESOME!!!! The 'cut-out' insert is also in PERFECT uncreased condition!!!! The Gatefold FLIPBACK Cover is in STUNNING condition for its age!!!! LOOK AT THE PICTURES - can you get much better???? It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, NO corner wear, just a VERY few light creases and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are RAZOR straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the inside of the cover is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!! The inside spine is also PERFECT with NO laminate splitting, and NO lifting!!!! It is also PERFECTLY straight and opens with that lovely 'crackle' that you only get with VERY little used covers!!!! THE COVER RETAINS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL FLATNESS AND THERE IS NO RINGWEAR!!!! There is also NO splits, NO rips, and NO tears!!!! The cover must grade Excellent+!!!! HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! It really is a GREAT looking LP and it is truly rare to find any copies of this RARE Beatles LP!!!!
