Description
SUPER RARE ORIGINAL SGT PEPPER WIDESPINE………… AND IN STEREO!!!!!!!
FULLY COMPLETE!
FOR AUCTION IS AN ORIGINAL MEGA RARE STEREO UK FIRST PRESSING WIDE SPINE SGT PEPPER FULLY COMPLETE LP ON THE YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL 1967 PCS 7027.
THIS PARTICULAR 1ST PRESSING IS VERY SPECIAL INDEED
FIRSTLY THIS LP IS ONE OF THE VERY 'EARLIEST' EVER 1ST PRESSINGS WITH AN ULTRA RARE 'WIDE SPINE' COVER!! ONLY THE VERY 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS HAD 8MM 'WIDE SPINE' COVERS - THEY WERE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO 'STANDARD' 4MM THINNER SPINE COVERS AND THEY ARE NOW INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN EITHER STEREO OR MONO
SECONDLY THIS LP IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE IN MEGA RARE STEREO EXAMPLES! WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN 1967 - BARELY ANY 1ST PRESSINGS WERE IN STEREO - NEARLY ALL WERE MONO SO FINDING A WIDESPINE STEREO 1ST PRESSING IN THIS CONDITION IS SUPER RARE. IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO FIND A MONO 'WIDE SPINE' EARLIEST 1ST PRESSING - BUT FINDING ONE IN STEREO IS EVER RARER
THE COVER
THE MEGA RARE GATEFOLD LAMINATED WIDE SPINE STEREO FIRST PRESS COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. NO WRITING. NO TEARS.
THE SPINE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION ALSO AS YOU CAN SEE FORM THE PHOTOS - i doubt you will see a better preserved example - HOWEVER MY APOLOGIES AS MY CAMERA AND POOR PHOTOGRAPHIC SKILLS DO NOT OTHERWISE DO THIS COVER AS MUCH JUSTICE!
THE INSIDE OF THE ALBUM IS ALSO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE ONLY FAULT I CAN MAKE WITH THE COVER IS THAT IT HAS SOME CREASING TO THE BOTTOM EDGE CORNER (NOT AT THE SPINE AS THAT IS PERFECT) OTHERWISE IT WOULD GRADE EASILY AS EX+++ BUT I WOULD STILL GRADE IT AS AN EASY EX
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS ALSO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. WITH ONLY A FEW BAG OR SURFACE MARKS UNDER A STRONG LIGHT BUT WOULD PASS FOR NEAR MINT UNDER NORMAL LIGHT – ANOTHER EASY EX!!
THE LABELS
SHOW ONLY MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS WITH THE KT TAX CODE ON SIDE TWO. AGAIN AN EASY EX GRADING
THE INNER SLEEVE
THE FIRST PRESS RED AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE DESIGNED BY THE FOOL IS TORN ON ONE SIDE AND AT THE BOTTOM BUT OTHERWISE STILL IN PRETTY GOOD ORDER – GRADE VG.
INSERT
THE CORRECT INSERT FOR THIS SLEEVE AS IT SHOWS SIMILAR CREASINGS TO THE COVER BUT OTHERWISE IN GOOD ORDER, GRADED VG SO AS NOT TO OVERGRADE
OVERALL I WOULD GRADE THIS RARE AND COMPLETE ALBUM AS EX. I UNDERSTAND THAT STEREO WIDESPINES CAN REACH AS MUCH AS £ 700 AND THE LINK BELOW SHOWS A BOOK VALUATION IN EXCESS OF £ 300 AND MORE THAN TWICE THAT OF MONO COPIES. I AM STARTING THE BIDDING LOW FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE THIS RARE AND LOVELY EXAMPLE.

BUYERS DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE MASSIVE RARITY OF THIS LP! FINDING ANY 'WIDE SPINE' IS INCREDIBLY RARE INDEED, BUT STEREO 'WIDE SPINE' 1ST PRESSINGS ARE THE RAREST POSSIBLE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE THESE DAYS ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION – COLLECTORS YOU WILL NOT GET TOO MANY MORE CHANCES LIKE THIS!!!!
HAPPY BIDDING!
