THE BEATLES/ SGT PEPPER'S ... / ORIG '67 MONO LP W/ INSERT + ORIG INNER SLEEVE EX
This is a USA monaural pressing of The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Capitol Records ?MAS, in beautiful condition.
According to the Discogs site, labels like this one that list A2 with a shortened title "A Little Help From My Friends" instead of "With a Little Help From My Friends" are first run labels. Later labels had the corrected title: "With a Little Help From My Friends."
The cover is made out of thick cardboard and includes a gimmick cut-outs insert and custom red/white psychedelic inner sleeve.
This appears to be a Scranton pressing because it has the "IAM" triangle stamp in the matrix.
© NEMS Enterprises LTD, 1967 is located above the manufactured by in the bottom back cover (pictured).
Inside cover has 2653 above George's left shoulder.

GRADING:
Vinyl is EX, beautiful, really clean and glossy with a few very light superficial marks. Plays beautifully with very few tics here or there.
Cover is EX-, also beautiful with just a touch of very light shelf wear, a tiny bit of wear on spine, a tiny (less than 1/4") split at lower corner at opening and a chip at the middle of opening (see photos).
The 'cut-outs' card insert is EX+ with a fold in one corner.
The inner sleeve also is really nice with one very small split (about 1/2") on bottom center and one small tear at top.
Please check my other auctions and those to come.
Grade Scale:
(S) SEALED = VINYL assumed mint, never open.
(NM) NEAR MINT = VINYL nearly perfect, no obvious signs of wear. COVER should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes.
(VG++ or EX) VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS or EXCELLENT = VINYL almost NM but it might have a few more superficial signs of use and slight sleeve scuffing. COVER may only have the slightest signs of normal wear.
(VG+/VG++) Between VERY GOOD PLUS and VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS = VINYL may have a bit more signs of use & scuffing than VG++. Surface noise will be more noticeable. COVER may have slight ring wear or discoloration. Very small seam split.
( VG+ ) VERY GOOD PLUS = VINYL may have scuff marks, very light scratches and signs of some wear and will have surface noise in spots, generally still has it's luster. COVER will have slightly more ring wear or discoloration. Minor seam split.
( VG ) VERY GOOD = VINYL has more noticeable scuffs and scratches. Surface noise will be noticeable (may crackle, pop or make other annoying noises), especially in the quiet areas. COVER has even more ring and other wear, discoloration and more seam splits.
( G ) GOOD = VINYL may have multiple scratches or small gouge(s), may have continuous crackles, pops, significant surface noise. COVER has much more than normal wear and tear.
