NOTES
Solid, thick, heavy German vinyl! This EXPORT first press' condition, regarding both its visual and sound quality, is somewhere between excellent plus and near mint minus - more or less a "religious" question to answer.
Comes with its original Red/White striped inner sleeve. Issued as EXPORT edition on Red/White/Gold Odeon without any HoerZu stamps, unambigiously determined by the pairing of catalog numbers SMO/ZTOX.
For the Domestic HoerZu first press, please see our next listing from today (Germany, May 30, 1967, HoerZu SHZE 401).
The ambitious collector may also look up our listing of the Brazilian MONO first press (Brazil, June 1967, White Odeon Top, BTX-1004), the third of our Sgt. Pepper's first press listings from today.
Please see grading details for a more elaborate description of the record's condition. back to TOP
1st Class Packaging
We are Collectors, hence every record is stored (and will be sent) in a sophisticated way. Many experienced collectors were thrilled by our unique, bullet-proof "packing technicque". Original cover, inner sleeve(s), prospective inserts, and/or whatever may come across, are stored separately. The vinyl sits in a neutral antistatic, padded inner sleeve, which is housed in a stable, neutral cardboard cover. Package is protected by one (or more) transparent plastic sleeves. Finally, all items are being wrapped with thick bubble foil and go to a professional record mailer.
(PLEASE NOTE that pictured record is an EXAMPLE only. It is NOT the item up for auction. Thank you.) Record Grading
