NOTES
Welcome to our auction of a Sgt. Pepper's STEREO U.K. First Press. The KT Tax Stamp sits on Side A. It's made of good old British heavy vinyl of 160 grams, with shiny surface in a NM(-) condition.
Complete copy with "psychedellic" inner sleeve. The green cut-out comes in an excellent quality and certainly has PRINTED IN ENGLAND on the lower left corner.
This is indeed a stunning first press copy of legendary Pepper.
With pressing and release dates mentioned on the upper right, we do away with a strange "myth", namely the (whyever) wide-spread opinion of "1st of June" as being "THE Sgt. Pepper Date". Even decades later, many collectors around the world still "celebrated" that "magical" (still misleading) day. One may guess this is because it was once supposed to become the official release date. However, after British state television BBC had broadcasted the Fab's "Making-Of tapes" on May 12, 1967, already, they decided to hit the market earlier...
To underline, we provide the other major (national first press) release dates right here (in the order of their respective publication):
- Germany, May 30, 1967, Red/White/Gold Odeon SMO 81 045 (EXPORT, stereo only)
- Germany, May 30, 1967, Red/White/Gold Odeon HoerZu SHZE 401 (domestic, stereo only)
- United States, June 02, 1967, Capitol Rainbow MAS 2653 -mono-, SMAS 2653 -stereo-
- Japan, July 05, 1967, Silver/Black Odeon OP-8163 (stereo only)
Great, rare first press copy with NEAR MINT vinyl.
We understand that our asking price is everything but a bargain (across all of our listings). However, we kindly ask you to refrain from sending "50-percent-offers". At beabay, we possess an in-depth knowledge of Beatles Vinyl, meaning our prices have been carefully chosen and placed. Dozens of international collectors trust in this and confirmed their 100-percent-satisfaction - some of them we copied later in this listing.
Please see grading details for a more elaborate description of the record's condition.

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, which is then being properly sealed with water-resistant tape.
(PLEASE NOTE that pictured record is an EXAMPLE only. It is NOT the item up for auction. Thank you.)
- Grading Every record has been carefully graded visually by ourselves. Most records are audio-graded, too. We grade NM/NM-, EX+/EX/EX-, VG+/VG/VG-.
- Shipping & Handling is FREE, provided you live on planet earth. To us, it doesn't matter where records find a new home, Paris, Tokyo, NYC, Melbourne.
- Dispatch Time We usually prepare shipping immediately upon cleared payment. As a cushion space, however, shipping is guaranteed within 2 business days.
- Shipping Time ...is something that we do not have any influence on, please keep that in mind when applying feedback. As a rule of thumb, times from registering with the carrier until delivery at buyer's home may be as follows: Asia 7 thru 10 days. U.K. one week. U.S. 7 thru 10 days. South America 10 thru 14 days. Europe 4 thru 7 days. Germany 24 thru 48 hours. However, please keep in mind that these times are estimates only and may vary among different carriers.
- Payment is expected within 48 hours after an auction's end, unless arranged differently prior to bidding. We accept PayPal or IBAN (SEPA) bank transfer only.
A Note On Returns / Return Policy
We are two (crazy?) regular average women (Ginger & Fleur Isabell) who love Beatles, thus collecting their records, we're no dealers. We buy vinyl to acquire better copies of what we have already, then selling our second, third, fourth copies. We are classic collectors and hence describe and grade what we sell to our best knowledge, possessing a very high, sophisticated level of knowledge, in particular regarding European records.
If -for whatever reason- our description doesn't turn out to be appropriate, like, for instance, a song skips or jumps, vinyl isn't flat as assured -these types of "error"-, we certainly accept a return (at buyer's expense), for a collector's satisfaction is of utmost importance to us. That certainly happened already. We know that nobody buys a record from us "just for fun". However, as a very basic rule, all of our sales are personal und final.
ALL WE TRY TO AVOID IS TO SEND RARE, VALUABLE VINYL AROUND THE GLOBE "IN VAIN", JUST TO SATISFY A PERSON'S CURIOSITY, FOR EVERY "ROUND-TRIP" IS A HUGE RISK EXPOSING THE RECORD.
