Description
Parlophone PCS 7027, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. A 1967 UK first pressing in mono having all the requisite attributes for that year with the matrix / stampers XEX 637-1 and XEX 638-1.
Has the Mono G&L laminated gatefold sleeve with the visible inside flaps. Also the 'flame' inner bag / sleeve. The labels have 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd.' and 'Sold in the UK.....' texts.
The gatefold is in solid condition; there is edge wear plus rubbing at the corners as shown. Also slight ringwear and creases due to laminate shrinkage over the decades. These are all standard blemishes for its' age yet is a strong example as I've said. Condition wise I reckon 7.5 out of 10.
Both the insert and flame bag are in clean shape. These sleeves invariably have split bottoms due to 'knifing' by the disc but this one is sound. Also the bag shows some creasing and glue age browning which is purely cosmetic. I'll put the vinyl in a separate inner sleeve for transport.
And both labels are quite clean with signs of several plays. The record is flat and shiny and reads 137g on my scale so is a good medium weight. Angling the vinyl in room daylight it looks very nice. Under the searching and unforgiving desk lamp I see scuffs and hairlines and a light surface mark at the start of side 2 so I'm going to say 7.5 /10 for the disc also to match the sleeve.
99p start, free UK postage and generous rate to RoW.
