NOTES
  Solid, thick German vinyl! This HoerZu first press' condition, regarding both its visual and sound quality, is about near mint/minus. In particular vinyl and labels are in a truly stunning shape.
Comes with its original Red/White striped inner sleeve. Issued as HoerZu edition, the domestic counterpart of export pressings, on Red/White/Gold Odeon with two Red HoerZu stamps on each label. The green cut-out has "PRINTED IN GERMANY" and shows up in an undoubtedly near mint shape.

For the EXPORT SWITZERLAND pressing, please see our prior listing from today (Germany, May 30, 1967, R/W/G Odeon SMO 81045/ZTOX 5636).
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.

IMPORTANT NOTE for GERMAN BIDDERS: Please constact us before bidding, for otherwise we will remove your bid without prior notice. This is in view of constantly recurring problems, often caused by language. It's NOT an offense. Collectors want harmony and consensus, not trouble. 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.

For packaging, we use brand-new material & items only. Whatever eBay MIGHT display: INSURED, SIGNED-IN, TRACKED SHIPPING IS FREE. ANY DESTINATION ON THIS PLANET.
(PLEASE NOTE that pictured record is an EXAMPLE only. It is NOT the item up for auction. Thank you.)

Audible checks are performed with a Pro-Ject Audio system connected to a DENON PMA 520-AE amplifier, with a Sennheiser 350 headset.     Remarks   As for the Cover and related issues, please refer to pictures provided right after. Spine in perfectly shape.
Cover is completely glossy. Both sides shiny vinyl. No writings, etc, stunning labels.
Inner sleeve has some seam split. The "PRINTED IN GERMANY" cut-out is something like mint minus - after 46 years...

Regarding audio, plays perfectly thru no jumps, skips, disturbing noises - simply great, a pleasure to listen to!

Please keep in mind that an opinion is bound to be subjective. Refer to pictures, provided extensively.
