THE BEATLES - SGT. PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND - 1971 - APPLE SMAS-2653
Bought this in the very early 70's. This is an excellent stereo album with no visible scratches.

Considering its age, the album is in excellent condition since I didn't play it much. I just listened to it on my old 1229 turntable and it is still a clean recording. You are bidding on an album in great condition.

As an audiophile, I took care of all my albums and always used a disc cleaner before spinning them (still do). I only single played my albums and never multi-stacked them on the turntable. The albums were always put back into their jackets after playing them. As a result, all albums I put up for sale are of very good, excellent or near prime condition.

 

All the albums I am putting up for sale are my own and mostly date from 1974 to 1988. Since I periodically had roommates in the old days, I had a tendency to put my name on covers and album labels. Most of the albums that had album art inserts still have the inserts. I wasn’t into putting them up on the wall.

 

I play each album before listing it to best determine the condition of the album. I will not list an album that is too beat up and worn. Typically, any album I bought before September of 1969 will be suspect because a less than precision turntable was used. Between 1969 and 1974, I had a pretty good Sylvania stereo system and turntable. Any album purchased in 1974 or later was played on a top of the line Dual 1229 turntable teamed up with a great sound system. I still have the system, the 1229 and a Micro Acoustic needle and cartridge that work great. As such, the post 1974 albums are mostly in very good to excellent to primo playing condition.

 

If you are interested in collecting some great vinyl, I have a few hundred excellent discs, some with amazing “presence of sound” that you sure won’t experience with ear pods (i.e., Elton John’s first Greatest Hits album, Procol Harem’s Grand Hotel, Linda Ronstadt’s Heart Like A Wheel). I’ve always had eclectic tastes and my interests include a wide spectrum of artists and musical types. My collection includes folk, rock, folk rock, jazz, new age, and classical. So, if you are looking for great old albums that were not exactly “Top 40” radio tunes, then you should follow me and check out the albums I put up for auction or sale.

 

All albums are shipped in album mailers via USPS Media Mail.

 

Thanks for looking.
