The Beatles 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' UK 1967 LP on Parlophone PMC 7027

UK MONO first pressing with 'Sold in UK' & 'Gramophone Co' label text

Laminated Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve with flipbacks inside the gatefold

Includes cut-outs insert in excellent condition, one crease in corner and original psychedelic inner sleeve good condition but annoyingly someone has written on both sides in pen, (see pic), these are the same with all Sgt pepper records so you could find a replacement for this maybe

Matrix and stamper codes: XEX 637-1  / XEX 638-1 

Condition

Gatefold sleeve: good (bad wear on the spine and a 2 inch tear and in corners) but otherwise nice clean condition, sadly again someone has written their name on the inside of the sleeve where the cutout goes

Cut-outs insert: excellent just one crease in the corner no rips and no writing!

Vinyl: good ( when held up to the light i can see alot of light surface scratches and light scuffs but nothing that should affect the play

Not a pristine copy for a hardcore collector but a nice example for someone looking to put together a 1st pressing collection on a budget

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK!

ive based it on this record collectors guide

• Mint (M)   Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.(More on still sealed under "Other Considerations").
• Near Mint (NM or M-)
  The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
  
  An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like.
  
  Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
  


• Very Good Plus (VG+) 
  A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
  
  Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".
  
  The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play.
  
  Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
  



• Very Good (VG)  Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
  
  Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
  


• Good (G), Good Plus (G+)  A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white).
  
  A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
  



• Poor (P), Fair (F)  The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
