Description

This is a very, very rare unique sleeve! The “Fourth Proof” sleeve represents the earliest possible pressing of the Sgt Pepper cover. The Fourth Proof was the final version of the various ‘prototypes’ that were explored by the Beatles when the cover was being designed. The cover (and text) was approved by the Beatles and an initial very small ‘test’ run was undertaken to make sure everything looked OK. This small test run is characterised by the inverted “Fourth Proof” text in the top right hand corner of the inner gatefold – just above George Harrison’s head. This is therefore the earliest possible ‘prototype’ (test pressing) cover. Same fold-back have can printed text “AR D1321? which was probably the reference number for the prototype text that was used.

SLEEVE & INNERS - Sleeve is very good-excellent, spine has a bit of wear, but the actual cover looks great. Cutouts are intact and in mint condition. Psychedelic red inner is excellent.


VINYL & LABEL - vinyl looks excellent, barely a scratch present. The label also looks fantastic. Matrix XEX 637-1 & XEX 638-1.


I WILL ONLY SEND ITEMS OUTSIDE OF THE UK TRACKED. THESE POSTAL COSTS MAY VARY SO PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING.
