Description
The Beatles
SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND
Original UK Mono Pressing
Has Rare Label Error On Side 2 Which Omits "A Day In The Life"
PARLOPHONE PMC 7027 : MATRIX NOs XEX-637-1/XEX-638-1
Stampers (Side 1 & 2) 30 M M H 19 M M M
These stampers indicate a later copy which lines up with when these mis-pressings were thought to have been made.
The vinyl is in Very Good Condition. Visually there are surface marks / scuffs and scratches on both sides and under strong light it shows a good amount of sleeve removal marks / hairlines but luckily a lot of this is superficial (Please see the photos). A lot of the record actually plays to a nice VG+ standard, but there are some rotational ticks / crackle in some places, hence the grading. Fortunately it isn't majorly groove worn like a lot of these copies end up being. "She's Leaving Home" is luckily still quite enjoyable without too much extra noise and clearly the record hasn't been played on rough equipment. It doesn't jump or skip at any point and the sound quality is still strong, but as mentioned there can be slight crackle and rotational ticks, nothing too bad though. I'd highly recommend summing your cartridge to mono for playback, it improves the surface noise / sound quality pretty decently. Overall it's not a perfect LP but it's a good sounding one and quite enjoyable!
The original G&L gatefold cover is only in Good condition, unfortunately showing a lot of wear, please see the photos for a general idea of this. I think it could have been Good + if not for the marker that's been applied to the spine by a previous owner. I'd recommend upgrading this if you can find a spare. It has a previous owner's name written on the inside of the front panel.
Unfortunately it doesn't come with the original blank white inner sleeve but the record does come with a generic poly-lined inner sleeve from the era. It's holding up very nicely and protects the record much better than the original would have.
Unfortunately no cutouts are included. This listing is for the record, it's inner sleeve and the original cover only.
This record is not for the most discriminating audiophile, however it is still in a good, playable condition and it could be nice for anyone who wants to have a nice, original and playable copy of this rare mis-pressing!
I'm willing to combine postage on multiple purchases. Any questions, please give me a shout! Thank you :)
