PAY ATTENTION! INCREDIBLE HARD TO FIND, VERY RARE WIDE SPINE MONO SLEEVE! ONLY AN ABSOLUTELY MINIMUM AMOUNT OF THESE SLEEVES WERE MADE ALMOST HAVING THE COMMON FLAT SPINE! EVEN FEWER OF THEM PRESERVED INTACT OVER THE YEARS ITS FLATNESS - THE CASE HERE, AND ONLY A FEW WIDE SPINE STEREO/MONO EXAMPLES I HAVE EVER SEEN! AND NOT ONLY THAT, THIS RECORD HAS SOUND CLOSE TO THE MASTER TAPE AS YOU CAN GET! AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC LP FROM THIS FABULOUS BAND "FAB FOUR"!
COVER
This is the correct issued 1st PRESS Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd., MONO laminated flipback gatefold sleeve. This example is definitely in EXCELLENT condition, with fully shine surface, gloss and clean, with no tears, writing, marks etc. At the corners and edges has a minimal wear and laminate traces. The spine is WIDE, well shaped, strong, that is fully legible/readable, very nice considering for it`s 50 years old. Looks nice on the whole (see-pics). Definitely EXCELLENT(+) condition.
VINYL
The Iconic original 1967 UK 1st Press MONO Vinyl 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'! Nice bright, clean and shiny, as it was just pressed! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks GREAT with NO really nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever! Daylight will not find even minor scratches. Such, removal of the record from the sleeve will find under the light of led or halogen lamp. Just a small amount of cosmetic non-sounding and unfeelable scuffs (only visible in direct angled light) mostly caused from where it has stored or been removed from it's cover near the 50 years! Of course, none of these ULTRA light blemishes really interfere with play AT ALL thanks to the deeply pressed quality! BRILLIANT for a record of this age and rarity! Must grade overall close to EXCELLENT(+)! (graded STRICTLY to the UK RRPG standards, not overgraded AT ALL)! Visually it can be concluded, that both sides are at least EXCELLENT(+) condition.
AUDIO
Keep calm and listen to the Beatles! For pleasure of the client the most important of the vinyl record is sound. Upon playing both sides, the record plays brilliantly with fantastic MONO depth, warmth and clarity! The sound really is great - bass depth and density! WITH NO ANY HISS, REPEAT, SKIP/JUMP, or CRACKLE! with only a couple of typical light static clicks between some songs and in the run-out vinyl zone after the last songs. There is certainly no dominant interference and nothing obtrusive in the playback, both visually and audibly. Such a sound you can only get from 1st Press MONO heavy-thick UK vinyl record. Amazingly perfect record at this age and rarity, listened to and stored very carefully in time! EXCELLENT(+) or NEAR MINT SOUND condition -matter of personal point of view and judgment!
LABELS
Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” printed at the start perimeter print and “Sold in U.K. subject…” text.
Both labels are in EXCELLENT(+) condition without any unwanted writing or stains but with several very light spindle trails on either side. The 'KT' tax code is present on Side1. (see pics.)
INNER SLEEVE
The correct 1st PRESS handle with original PSYCHEDELIC RED Inner Sleeve. The Sleeve is in EXCELLENT condition, without any writing or splits.
CUT-OUTS
Dark green original cut-outs, in NEAR MINT condition.
Conclusion: A FANTASTIC WIDE SPINE MONO example of this INCREDIBLY RARE, 49 year old iconic 1967 UK 1st Press BEATLES LP ALBUM! Hard to find in ANY condition, but simply IMPOSSIBLY RARE TO FIND ONE AS UTTERLY AWESOME AS THIS! Fantastic collectors Item!
Pls., note, this is not mint record, but according my opinion it is more than EXCELLENT(+), without any reserv?s.
