Description
You are bidding on a first pressing in MONO of the greatest album of all time: The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, a cherished relic of the 20th Century--a real golden treasure from rock n' roll history. To any Beatlemaniac, this is the ultimate acquisition--hand's down.
This is the Capital "rainbow" label on that old heavy vinyl which produces much fuller sound--with "A Little Help from My Friends" title (no "With") on the label (the song title is "With a Little...," originally misprinted on both the label and back cover--corrected on later labels--cover graphics were never corrected,) beautiful gatefold cover and red-pink psychedelic album sleeve.
This is not only the first pressing, but it is the mono version, which is the original intended recording. Mono recordings are mixed differently than stereo in the studio, and they can be a very different adventure. Here, I'll give you a list of sonic differences one reviewer noted when listening to the mono version of Sgt. Pepper's:
The funky backwards guitar part at the end of the opening song just before "Billy Shears."
The flangey/ADT effect on Ringo's voice during some chorus of "With A Little Help From My Friends."
The tripped out flangey vocals from the second verse out on "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds."
The slightly longer end of "Fixing A Hole" where McCartney is wailing up high.
The change in tone in "She's leaving home" in the mono version - due to being sped up, not so dreary and long as in the stereo version.
The timing on the effects of "Mr. Kite."
The extended louder laughter on "Within You Without You."
The louder backing "oo-oo's" on "When I'm 64".
The "bleed edit" found at the beginning of the "Sgt. Pepper Reprise"; you can hear the machine flutter as it comes out of pause.
The low volume mumbo jumbo during the extended bass drum raps at the beginning of the "Sgt. Pepper Reprise".
The timing of the audiences are different on the "Reprise" section.
Paul McCartney ad libbing at the end. Paul sound like he is saying "Thank you very much good night now..." or "bye bye now".
The album is in great condition. Ships in an acid-free anti-static plastic sleeve.
From the runout groove: Side 1: SMAS 1 2653 G2 #2; Side 2: SMAS-2-2653-G2 #2.
If you are looking for the real McCoy, the coveted first MONO pressing of Sgt. Pepper's in excellent condition, you have found what you are looking for!
