Description
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF A UK COPY WITH RARE & EARLIEST WIDESPINE SLEEVE FULLY COMPLETE WITH SUPERB FOOL INNER AND INSERT
THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE BEST COPIES OF A WIDESPINE SLEEVE I HAVE EVEN SEEN, A TOP TOP COPY !!
....L@@K
THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT SLEEVED VARIAINTS OF SGT PEPPER AND ALTHOUGH THE CRONOLOGY IS NOT TOTALLY CERTAIN, THE AMOUNT OF LOW MOTHER/STAMPER COPIES OFTEN FOUND IN WIDESPINE SLEEVES ( ESPECIALLY STEREO'S ) TENDS TO SUBSTANTIATE THE BELIEF THAT THESE WIDESPINE SLEEVES ARE INDEED THE EARLIEST MADE.
INDEED AT THE PRE-RELEASE LAUNCH PARTY ( WHICH i THINK WAS HELD AT BRIAN EPSTEIN'S LONDON HOME ) IN SOME PICTURESTHE BEATLES CAN BE SEEN CLEARLY HOLDING A WIDESPINE SGT PEPPER VARIANT:-
HOWEVER IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT STORAGE ISSUES LED TO A RAPID RE-DESIGN OF THE SLEEVES TO REDUCE THE WIDTH OF THE SPINE AND IT IS PROBABLY HERE WERE THE SO-CALLED " FOURTH PROOF " THIN SPINE SLEEVES APPEAR WHICH WERE ACTUALLY PROBABLY PROOFS FOR NEW STANDARD THINNER SPINE SLEEVES. AS SUCH THE FOURTH PROOFS ARE PROBABLY NOT THE EARLIEST SLEEVE VARIANTS AS OFTEN CLAIMED, THESE WIDESPINES ARE.
EVEN THOUGH STEREO YELLOW/BLACK PEPPERS ARE ACTUALLY PROBABLY RARER THAN THE MONOS, BECAUSE THE BEATLES WERE INVOLVED DIRECTLY IN THE MONO MIX AND BECAUSE IT IS QUITE DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO MIX WHICH IS THE MIX MOST OF US ARE MOST FAMILAIR WITH, MONO COPIES ARE MORE SOUGHT AFTER.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS !!

DOMESTIC DISPATCH WILL BE BY SIGNED FOR DELIVERY, THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW
DOMESTIC DISPATCH WILL BE BY SIGNED FOR DELIVERY, THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT ! INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW
FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE UK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT... non uk bidders please read my notes about international postage below.....returns policy only applies to UK outside of UK buyer has to cover the return postage! FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT due to ebays revised " buyer " protection policy even more sellers will start to refuse to sell internationally. I however will still sell internationally but i reserve the right to not to complete any international transaction if the buyer has any bad or witheld feedback or for any other reason that I choose and this is especially so for items that sell for near to GBP 150 or higher. So if you are an international bidder and win one of my auctions and then find I have completed the transaction elsewhere this will be because the new ebay/paypal policy now makes it almost impossible for sellers to sell safely overseas, thank you
FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT... I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you.
(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )
INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...
Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.
THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..
DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ,
COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL TO EUROPE HAS RECENTLY INCREASED SO FOR A SINGLE LP IS NOW USUALLY GBP 9.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 13.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 16.99 FOR A DOUBLE BASED ON A "DECLARED" VALUE OF UNDER GBP 50...EACH ADDITIONAL LP SENT COMBINED WITH THIS PLEASE ADD G 2.00 PER EXTRA DISC
