THE BEATLES: ‘SGT PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND’ – AN ORIGINAL 1967 UK ISSUE BLACK AND SILVER PARLOPHONE MONO VINYL LP - PMC 7027
Parlophone started to use a newly disigned label in late 1969. Parlophone radically changed their label design to this silver style with an EMI boxed logo at the bottom of the label, and the rim text now arches around the top of the label rather than underneath. This new label collectors refer to as the ‘Silver and Black’ design. The original label printer plates were used although the stereo mark was moved from the top to just above the catalogue number. It was thought many years ago that Parlophone had closed their mono back catalogue before the label design changed and as such no mono copies existed on this label, but over the years it’s transpired that three albums from the Beatles’ back catalogue had their mono runs extended slightly overlapping the transition. These three albums were “Please Please Me”, “Help!” and“Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band”.
These mono presses are incredibly rare and very difficult to get your hands on. Label used between 1969 and early 1971.
