THIS IS AN EXCELLENT STEREO UK FIRST PRESSING COPY OF THE 1967 BEATLES CLASSIC "SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND." THE NUMBERS AND SLEEVE MARKINGS SHOW THIS TO BE ONE OF THE VERY EARLIEST OF THE FIRST PRESSINGS.
THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION AND PLAYS WITHOUT SKIPS, STICKS OR LOUD POPS. UNDER STRONG LIGHT, A FEW HAIRLINE PAPER MARKS ARE VISIBLE, BUT THERE ARE NO SERIOUS MARKS OR BLEMISHES.
THE AUDIO IS EXCELLENT AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE ON RUN-INS, QUIET SEQUENCES, OR BETWEEN TRACKS.
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+ THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS STILL BRIGHT AND SHINY, WITH A FULY READABLE "WIDE" SPINE. THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFTING OR CREASING.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM SEAMS ON THE REAR GATEFOLD BOTH HAVE 2-3 CM SCUFFS - THE CORNERS OF THE SPINE SIDE ARE ALSO SCUFFED, AND THERE IS A MINOR SCUFF TO THE SPINE BELOW THE TITLE (PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS).
THE INNER GATEFOLD IS UNSPOILED WITH BRIGHT VIVID COLOURS, AND FLIPBACKS AT THE TOP. THERE IS SOME MINOR CRUSHING OF THE INNER SPINE - NORMAL FOR WIDE SPINE COPIES - BUT NOTHING SERIOUS.
THE SGT PEPPER CUT-OUTS SHEET IS THE ORIGINAL, WITH NO MARKS OR SERIOUS DAMAGE, JUST A VERY MINOR CREASE TO THE GREEN BACKGROUND AREA ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE.
THE YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH SIDE ONE BEARING THE "KT" TAX MARK. BOTH LABELS HAVE "THE GRAMOPHONE COMPANY" AND "SOLD THE UK" TEXTS
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL RED AND WHITE "PSYCHEDELIC" PAPER BAG WITH NO SPLITS OR TEARS, BUT SOME MINOR AGE SPOTTING TO ONE SIDE. (THE RECORD WILL BE SHIPPED IN A SEPARATE INNER TO PREVENT SEAM SPLITS).
YOU WILL EASILY FIND CHEAPER COPIES OF THIS CLASSIC, BUT FEW FIRST PRESSINGS ARE AS COMPLETE AND UNDAMAGED AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, AND WIDE SPINE VERSIONS ARE INCREASINGLY RARE.
