The Beatles - SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY
HEARTS CLUB BAND
EMI Odeon EAS-70137
Extremely Rare MONO Red Vinyl w/ OBI!

This extremely rare copy of The Beatles' SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND is one of
a limited edition, 10,000 pressing run made in 1986 by EMI/Odeon - Japan.
Finding a nice copy of this is nearly impossible!

Why so rare?...
As most of you reading this already know, the monophonic, red vinyl Beatles titles released in this series were - and are - coveted by collectors.
These audiophile issues were carefully monitored pressing runs, and are considered the ultimate
way to hear the original Beatle mono mixes.
Using high definition virgin vinyl, the original U.K. mono mixes and extreme care in packaging, this Japanese pressed series of albums -
based on the Parlophone catalog in the U.K. - are the ultimate way to experience the Fab Four in mono.
In many cases, the mono mixes are quite different from their stereo counterparts.

In 1986, Toshiba reissued the same red vinyl mono like the 1982 series. They reissued these records with the exact same cover art work, same record labels, same catalog numbers, and the same prices. The top of the 1982 Obi has the words "the beatles original mono record" superimposed over a drawing of a red vinyl record. The top of the 1986 Obi bears the triangular logo for the 20th anniversary of the Beatles' concert in Japan (plus the 1986 OBIs were wider than those of the 1982s). The 1986 series was also a limited edition, the number believed to be somewhat less than the 1982 edition.

I could have graded the vinyl near mint, but due to the fact that both labels show spindle mark, indicating the vinyl had been played (very minimal), then i would grade it Excellent, or as per Goldmine: VG+ (this is just visual grading). The jacket is almost perfect (minor spot by the MONO), and should pass in the near mint category. Clean surface with no spine splits; corners are sharp. The OBI has a minor scuff by the front, otherwise it is in very nice condition. The included English/Japanese lyric sheet has no tear or fold and also in excellent condition. No cut-out pictures were included in this album.
