THE BEATLES
"SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND"
(1967 PARLOPHONE RECORDS LP – UK 1st MONO PRESSING!)
THIS IS MONO UK FIRST PRESSING OF THE 1967 CLASSIC LP BY THE BEATLES ON THE BLACK & YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABEL. THIS LP IS COMPLETE WITH A GARROD & LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD FLIPBACK SLEEVE, THE DARK GREEN "SGT PEPPER" CUT-OUT INSERT & RED & WHITE PSYCHEDELIC INNER SLEEVE.
WHAT MAKES THIS LP SO SPECIAL IS THAT THE CONDITION IS SPECTACULAR!! THIS LP WAS GIVEN TO A JAZZ FAN BACK IN 1967 IN AN ATTEMPT BY HIS SON TO "TURN" HIM ON TO THE BEATLES AND POP & BEAT IN GENERAL. THIS ATTEMPT FAILED MISERABLY AND HENCE THIS LP HAS ALLEGEDLY ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED A HANDFUL OF TIMES PRIOR TO ME TESTING IT THIS AFTERNOON.
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS PARLOPHONE PMC 7027
THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: XEX 637-1 / XEX 638-1
THE STAMPERS ARE: ALH 4 / MMO 10
THE SLEEVE
THE FULLY LAMINATED GARROD & LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT- CONDITION. THERE ARE A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATION AND THE HINT OF A BRUISE TO ONE CORNER. THE SLEEVE STILL "CREAKS" WHEN YOU OPEN IT UP AND ALL THE COLOURS ARE VIVID & MAGNIFICENT. THE SPINE IS WHITE, SQUARE, CRISP AND 100% READABLE - IT IS NEARLY PERFECT! THIS IS ONE OF, IF NOT THE BEST, SGT PEPPER SLEEVE I HAVE EVER SEEN.
THE INNER SLEEVE
THE PSYCHEDELIC RED & WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND SHOWS SOME WEAR AND A SPLIT. SOMEHOW THIS INNER HAD ENDED UP ON ONE OF THE JAZZ LPs WHEN I WENT THROUGH THE FORMER OWNERS COMPLETE COLLECTION.
THE INSERT
THE GREEN CUT-OUT INSERT IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, WITH JUST A HINT OF A TINY WRINKLE.
THE VINYL
THE BLACK VINYL IS IN NEAR MINT- CONDITION. THERE IS A SCUFF ON EACH SIDE OF THIS STUNNING LP. OTHERWISE THERE IS NOT MARK ANYWHERE TO BE SEEN, EVEN UNDER THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT - AMAZING!! THE SOUND QUALITY IS FANTASTIC THROUGHOUT - I DOUBT YOU WILL EVER HEAR BETTER - CRYSTAL CLEAR SILENCE ON THE RUN-IN, BETWEEN TRACKS AND ON RUN-OUT - BREATH-TAKING BEATLES IN MONO AT THEIR VERY BEST!!
THE LABELS
THE ICONIC BLACK & YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE ARE PERHAPS 3 OR 4 LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS. THERE IS NO WEAR. THE SIDE TWO LABEL HAS AN EMBOSSED "KT" TAX CODE.
