THE BEATLES  -  " SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND "

EXTREMELY RARE AUSTRALIA VINYL STEREO REISSUE / REPRESS 1987 IN ORIGINAL SINGLE-SLEEVE COVER & PLASTIC INNER SLEEVE. STORED IN PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE  SINCE NEW.

INCLUDES MILITARY UNIFORMS CUTOUT INSERT.

20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION. HYPE STICKER ON FRONT.

A RECORD EXACTLY THE SAME AS THIS, SAME PRESSING, SAME MATRIX No.s SOLD RECENTLY ON EBAY FOR $AU680. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THIS RECORD HAS THE RARER SINGLE SLEEVE COVER - NOT GATEFOLD. AS STATED ON DISCOGS AN ESTIMATED 9000 COPIES WERE PRESSED BETWEEN THE TWO VARIATIONS. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THE SINGLE COVER WAS RELEASED IN FEWER NUMBERS THAN THE GATEFOLD. 

AS YOU WOULD EXPECT THERE IS NONE FOR SALE OF EITHER VARIATION ON DISCOGS.

HERE IS AN EXTRACT (SLIGHTLY CHANGED SO AS NOT TO PLAGIARISE) FROM THAT SOLD LISTING:

"HERE IS A MEGA RARE COPY OF ''THE BEATLES'' SGT PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND.'' THIS GATEFOLD COVERED RECORD IS ONE OF THE RAREST RECORDS IN AUSTRALIA AND CONSIDERED BY MANY AUDIOPHILES AS EQUALLY AS PHENOMENAL SOUNDING AS THE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AUDIOPHILE NO 5 PRESSING DONE BY THE AUSTRALIAN CUTTING ENGINEER DON BARTLEY AND VIRTUALLY NEVER SEEN FOR SALE. IN FACT THIS GATEFOLD VERSION IS SO MEGA RARE IT HAS NEVER BEEN SOLD ON DISCOGS. IF YOU COULD FIND A NO 5 AUDIOPHILE PRESSING FOR SALE IN THE CONDITION THAT THIS PRESSING IS IN IT WOULD COST AT LEAST $1800 WHICH MAKES THIS PRESSING SOME WHAT OF A BARGAIN.

THIS PRESSING WAS CUT BY THE AUSTRALIAN CUTTING ENGINEER WARREN BARNETT AT FESTIVAL RECORDS AND TAKEN FROM THE MASTER TAPES THAT DON BARTLEY HAD USED EARLIER WITH THE NO 5 AUDIOPHILE PRESSING. THE ANALOGUE MASTER TAPE WAS SENT FROM THE U.K AND WAS A DIRECT 1:1 COPY OF THE U.K TAPE. IT WAS A 30 IPS TAPE WITH NO NOISE REDUCTION USED OR DOLBY NOISE REDUCTION. HAVING OWNED AND HEARD THE AUDIOPHILE NO 5 PRESSING I PERSONALLY CONSIDER THIS PRESSING TO BE EQUALLY AS GOOD AS THE NO 5 PRESSING WHICH IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE BEST SOUNDING COPY OF SGT PEPPERS IN THE WORLD BY MANY MUSIC CRITICS. WARREN BARNETT CUT THE LACQUER AT HALF SPEED FOR INCREASED SOUND QUALITY. 

THE PRESSING MATRIX INFORMATION IS SIDE ONE - PCSO 7027A  AMX67841 YEX638 (W2B2) AND SIDE TWO - PCSO 7027  AMX67842  (W2C2). THIS IS THE MEGA RARE CUT TAKEN FROM THE NO. 2 MOTHER. " .... eBay item number: 175122507860

THE RECORD THAT IS LISTED HERE NOW IS NOT LISTED ON DISCOGS WITH THE EXACT SAME MATRIX Nos. ETCHED IN THE RUNOUT DEAD WAX, THEREFORE THIS RECORD MAY BE MUCH RARER THAN THE OTHER 2 VERSIONS LISTED.
