THE BEATLES - Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Original UK Stereo 2nd Press LP
Parlophone (PCS 7027)
Rare UK original stereo second pressing on the yellow and black Parlophone label without the "Sold in the UK..." text and with "The Gramophone Co Ltd..." text.
This second pressing without the "Sold in the UK..." text turns up far less than the first pressing. This one is in wonderful condition and plays beautifully.
The sleeve is easily in excellent plus condition. There are no tears, no writing, no splits, no bends. There is just the most minimal of rubbing on the corners and just the odd small laminate crease. Would be tough to upgrade.
The labels are in near mint condition. No writing, no tears, no spindle wear and just a very few ultra light spider marks on each side. There is also a slight touch of discolouration. You can see from these labels that the record has barely been played.
Matrix, Mothers and Stampers:
YEX 637-1 (3 GOL)
YEX 638-1 (1 GPM)
This copy has the locked groove at the end of side two.
Comes with the correct plain white inner sleeve in excellent condition. These second pressings never had the red and white "fool" inner sleeve. Shows a patent number bottom left..
The cut out sheet is in near mint condition. These are a darker green and slightly heavier card than the later pressings.
The vinyl on this copy is wonderful, it is in at least excellent plus condition. It still has its original sheen and in daylight looks near mint. There are no scratches, no hairlines and practically no paper scuffs. When angled under two 50 watt halogen spotlights i can just make out two very small and light needle traces on one side. These cannot be felt and do not effect play.
Playback is as good as the visual grade with a wonderful strong, clear and vibrant stereo sound. There is no evidence of groovewear at all. There is some very light crackle during the run ins, but after that playback is almost flawless.
Please note that we grade all records the same way, whether they're 40 years old or one year old.

Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 and know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under two 50 watt halogen spot lights. Scans are of actual item up for auction. All records are packed securely and most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.
Near Mint
Almost mint. Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care. Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.
Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.
VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a few hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks on both sides. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
