Description
THIS IS THE VERY RARE BEATLES 1967 ORIGINAL “SGT PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND” MONO 1ST PRESSING ON YELLOW / BLACK PARLOPHONE PMC 7027. WHAT MAKES THE ALBUM INCREDIBLY RARE IS THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE HAS AN INVERTED “FOURTH PROOF PRINTING” AND ALSO AR D 1321, THESE ARE FOUND ON THE TOP RIGHT HAND FLIP BACK OF THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE. THE FIRST 3 PROOFS OF THIS COVER WERE NEVER USED AS IN FINAL PRODUCTION THEY WERE REJECTED AND THE “FOURTH” PROOF WAS THE FINAL RELEASED VERSION OF THE LP COVER. HOWEVER DUE TO A PRINTING ERROR OF THE 1ST PRESSING RUN VERY FEW OF THESE WERE RELEASED NATURAL THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE COVER AND WAS IMMEDIATELY REMOVED. TODAY IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND ONE OF THESE 1ST PRESS COVERS ESPECIALLY IN THIS EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS VERY RARE COVER ALSO CONTAINS “PATENTS PENDING” TEXT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE REVERSE OF THE COVER AND AGAIN MOST COPIES ESPECIALLY MONO’S DO NOT HAVE THIS TEXT. ANOTHER RARITY WITH THE ALBUM IS THAT THE INNER INSERT CUT OUT HAS A DARKER GREEN BACKGROUND THIS WAS ALSO CHANGED TO A LIGHTER GREEN WHEN THE “FOURTH” PROOF TEXT WAS REMOVED. THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE AS FOLLOWS SIDE ONE XEX 637 – 1 STAMPER MMO & SIDE TWO XEX 638 -1 STAMPER MAT.
THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS A BRILLIANT LARGE MONO SOUND. STUNNING
THE SLEEVE INSERTS & ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE ARE ALSO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
