THIS INCREDIBLE COPY OF SGT. PEPPER IS ONE I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS BEFORE. IT HAS THE 'SOLD IN THE UK' STATEMENT ACROSS THE LABEL ON SIDE ONE, BUT IT IS COMPLETELY MISSING FROM SIDE 2.

I WOULDN'T USUALLY LIST A RECORD THAT IS EXCELLENT PLUS AT BEST, BUT THIS LABEL ERROR IS SO UNUSUAL THAT FOR A COLLECTOR IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO PLACE INSIDE A COLLECTION

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING  PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHINE.THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BE SEEN ON THE SURFACE IN DAYLIGHT,BUT UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION NUMEROUS WISPY HAIRLINES AND HANDLING LINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CERTAIN THAT BIDDERS WILL WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, AND IT'S A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

CRYSTAL CLEAR MONO REPRODUCTION

WHAT I HAVE FOUND OVER THE YEARS IS THAT A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF BEATLES ALBUMS WERE PLAYED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS EITHER WORN OR TOO HEAVY RESULTING IN DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, USUALLY WHEN I AM LISTENING TO THEM THERE IS AN IRRITATING NOISE COMING FROM ONE SPEAKER ONLY WHERE THE STYLUS HAS WORN ONE SIDE OF THE GROOVE. WELL THIS ONE HAS NO SUCH PROBLEM AND PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT A MONO PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM IS NOTHING SHORT OF SUPERB!! PRESSED LOUDLY EACH NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED

THE ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT ANY MAJOR ISSUES WHATSOEVER. A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN RECORDING THAT PLAYS WITHOUT HEAVY FRYING BACON AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS SOME LIGHT CRACKLE IN PLACES AND SOME LIGHT TICS AND POPS HERE AND THERE

IT IS THE LABEL ANOMALY THAT MAKES THIS AN OUTSTANDING ISSUE

MY ADVICE TAKE A SEAT AND LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB RECORDING AT YOUR NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP EXCELLENT TO EXCELLENT PLUS

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASELINES, AND NO BENDS ETC.

THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS NO BLEMISHES TO IT AT ALL. THE MAIN BODY OF THE SURFACE IS JUST MAGNIFICENT

THERE ARE JUST THREE BARELY VISIBLE LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND NONE ALONG EITHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER

THE BOTTOM RIGHTCORNER HAS THE TINIEST DING TO IT

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, WITH THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM TIP TO TIP

THE SPINE IS THE ONE AREA THAT HAS SUFFERED A LITTLE FROM WEAR. MOST  OF THE LAMINATE HAS FLAKED OFF LEAVING SOME PATCHES OF ROUGHNESS. THERE IS A BROWN MARK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE, BUT INCREDIBLY THE TYPEFACE IS STILL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP TIP END IS ALSO SLIGHTLY NICKED

THE OPENING EDGES ARE BOTH RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A SMALL THUMB NAIL NICK VISIBLE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD, REVEALS AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS WITH PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALMOST IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT. THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR  THERE ARE FIVE SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND THATS ALL

THE RED AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION WHICH IS QUITE RARE. THERE IS A LIGHT BROWN STAIN IN ONE CORNER AND SOME LIGHT CREASING

THE CUT OUT SHEET IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS  SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
