DESCRIPTION
- THIS IS ONE OF THE RARER BEATLES ALBUMS THAT YOU WILL COME ACROSS. THIS IS KNOWN AS THE FOURTH PROOF COVER EDITION. WHEN COVERS ARE BEING PRINTED, NATURALLY THEY PRINT SOME SAMPLES FIRST; KNOWN AS ‘PROOFS’. THIS CONTINUES UNTIL A ‘PROOF’ IS ACCEPTED AS THE ONE THEY WILL ISSUE. IT WAS THE 4th PROOF THAT WAS ACCEPTED AS THE ONE TO RUN WITH. THESE PROOFS ARE IDENTIFIED BY PRINTING NUMBERS AND THE WORDS ‘FOURTH PROOF’ PRINTED ON THE FLIPOVERS ON THE INSIDE OF THE TOP RIGHT OF THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE. WHEN THE RUN IS COMMENCED, THESE ID MARKS ARE NOT PRINTED AND THE COVER IS MASS PRODUCED. HOWEVER HERE THESE IDENTIFICATION MARKS ARE STILL THERE. YOU CAN SEE THEM ON THE PICS . AS THE COVER HAS NOT YET BEEN OFFICIALLY AGREED TO, THE COVER IS MARKED AS PATENTS PENDING. THE PATENT IS APPLIED FOR WHEN THE FINAL COVER PRINT HAS BEEN AGREED.
SO HERE WE HAVE A VERY VERY EARLY ISSUE OF SGT PEPPER, COMPLETE WITH IT’S ‘FOOL’ INNER AND THE CUT OUT INSERT. AN ABSOLUTE RARITY. THERE ARE NOT MANY ABOUT. THE COVERIS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO MAJOR MARKS OR FLAWS. COUPLE OF TINY CREASE MARKS. NO EDGE WEAR SLIGHT CORNER WEAR. IN FACT MORE EXCELLENT PLUS THAN EXCELLENT. THE FOOLS INNER IS IN REMARKABLE CONDITION. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE EVER IN THIS ‘MINT’ STATE. THERE ARE NO CREASE LINES NO FOLDS NO BENDS. LOOKS AS IF IT IS JUST BEEN PRINTED. AS I SAID I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE THIS. ABSOLUTE RARITY. THE INSERT IS IN MINT CONDITION TOTALLY FLAWLESS. THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT ++ CONDITION. MY NEAR MINT MEANS NO TRACE OF ANY MARK OR SCUFF. THIS VINYL HAS A COUPLE OF VERY VERY LIGHT SCUFFS ON SIDE TWO. SIDE ONE IS NEAR MINT WITH NO MARKS OR SCUFFS. FANTASTIC EXAMPLE FROM MY OWN COLLECTION. YOU WILL NOT FIND BETTER IN A HURRY. THE RARITY OF THE 4th PROOF COVER MUST NOT BE UNDER-ESTIMATED. YOU SIMPLY DO NOT FIND THEM ESPECIALLY AS NEAT AS THIS.
