This is from my own collection, I am not a dealer, in the next few months I am selling off part of my collection, some rarities and collectable, no filler! Thanks for looking!


Please note that this album is complete and original 1st UK pressing and is priced for its rarety and attraction to collectors rather than for its condition
this is nearly a 50 year old vinyl 1st pressing!


The iconic original UK Beatles Sgt Peppers in glorious Mono from 1967 with no EMI box on label the early yellow black Parlaphone label which is only on first pressings......"Made in Great Britain" is at 6 oclock on the label as it should be on at first press.


in our view the Mono version wins v the Stereo hands down as in 1967 stereo was still new and the engineers at Abbey Road were very very good at recording in  Mono, the Beatles too! as amazing sound quality on this!
if like us you had a stereo copy for many years try this low cost original.

In near excellent condition with only some scuffs and surface lines from sleeve removal over the years also few hairlines which do not affect play, no jumps or sticks on our Rega 3 bear in mind this is a 49 year old vinyl record!
not a lot static and very quiet in the acoustic parts, Nice fat pre oil crisis 60s vinyl wow ! nice and fat has a slight warp at outer tracks but does not affect play in any way. we would the record grade as VCG plus. 

Plays fantastic with bright crisp sound may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) some background static is noticeable in the quieter passages but not many of those!
The sleeve is free of writing doodles or stickers and retain great bold colours with no fade we can notice under light., the pictures do not do justice! this is very very clean some wear on the spine only.


The record VGC+   1st press from 1967
