MEGA RARE BEATLES SGT.PEPPERS MONO 1ST PRESS 1/1MATRIX

Hi and welcome to my auction. My name is Stuart, and let me start by saying that first and foremost, I am an avid record collector, and have been since I purchased my first record in the late 60’s. I don’t sell many records at all, but have decided that I don’t need so many duplicates of everything, so have decided to thin down my collection to make room! Most of the records I will be selling over the coming weeks will be either duplicates or ones that I have acquired that do not fit into my “wanted” list.

I take great care of all my records as regards storage and protection, and they are stored upright and in a dry, smoke and pet free environment, away from bright sunlight. All the ones I will be listing will be carefully play tested and visually graded, and Any significant defects to the record or sleeve will be noted in the listing. I will use the grading system found in the Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide.

Buyer satisfaction is very important to me, and I am very proud of my 100% feedback, which I have had since starting Ebaying 6 years ago. If I grade a record as near mint ( I do not believe in grading mint, unless it is brand new) then you can be sure that it will be visually and audibly just that, and would be hard to find a better example!

I will give a full, money back guarantee if you are not entirely satisfied (less return postage costs). If there are any problems with your purchase, please contact me before leaving negative feedback, and I will sort out any problems to our mutual satisfaction.

Ok, now I have given you some background information about myself, it’s time to get on with the auction.

I HAVE FOR SALE A MEGA RARE 1967 1ST PRESS MONO COPY OF SGT. PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND, WHERE THE SIDE 2 LABEL OMITS ANY REFERENCE TO "A DAY IN THE LIFE" ALTHOUGH THE TRACK DOES PLAY ON THE ALBUM!!
