Description
Welcome to my auctions....The time has come to sell my huge record collection over the next weeks/months...so check out my other vinyl listed, more added each week.
I am a private collector, selling my collection, I am not a dealer. Due to poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this not what it might sound/play like. Even the most visually stunning record can have background noise, if you want perfect audio then please find another copy with audio gradings.
The Beatles - SGT Pepper - Yellow and Black Parlophone labels - Mono - 1st UK Pressing - Very Rare 'Fourth Proof' Sample Sleeve Patents Pending – Rarer Wider Spine Variant (Almost all fourth proof copies have very thin spines, this copy has a much wider spine) - Red & White Swirl Inner
1967
XEX 637-1 (KT around spindle)
XEX 638-1
Side 1 has a handful of very faint surface scuffs and some sleeve removal marks under strong artificial light, Side 2 has 1 small scratch which is feelable, again some faint surface scuffs and some sleeve removal marks all under very strong artificial light, It is sold as visually described and bidding should be based only on that not how it may play. Nice Used Condition.
Both Labels have some signs of spiders legs under strong light. Very clean labels, no wear or damage except for a very fine white line on side 2.
Front of sleeve is flat and clean with some small creases around edges and some creases to front, only the slightest signs of ringwear and still has a nice shine front and back, No real wear to top or bottom edge. Opening edge has light wear/feathering. Corners have wear. Much wider Spine has a little wear, mostly readable with a couple of creases running through, Back again is flat and clean with minor creases again mainly from spine edge. Corners have light wear. Inside is flat and clean with a nice shine and the all important flipbacks are in great condition - Garrod & Lofthouse Patents Pending Mono 'Fourth Proof' Wider Spine sleeve. A really Nice Example of this VERY rare sleeve.
Red and White Swirl Inner is a bit creased but generally clean, some handling wear to opening edge and bottom edge is split, No writing and still clean.
Cutout Card is in Great condition with a few small age spots in bottom right corner
Very Rare and Very Collectable Used LP.
I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's? Due to my poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this, in the event that a record may not play well or have background noise no refund will be given because I have no way of verifying and as such, if you place a bid you are acknowledging this
