TITLE
The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
INFO
Highly sought after 1980's Australian audiophile pressing of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Clubs Band, limited to only 497 copies each individually numbered! Our particular copy is no. 026, and the record itself still in near mint condition! Outter sleeve has some very, very light signs of ring-wear and light scuffing on one corner. Original seal is still in-tact, just slit down the side to allow the record out. As such, there is a little wear/creasing on the remaining seal.
eil.com offers further information on this particular pressing:
"This exclusive Audiophile record came into existence following a decision by EMI Australia to try their hand at half-speed mastering for a reissue series. In January 1981 they took their exisiting 15-ips masters for Please Please Me and Sgt. Pepper's and brought them down to 7.5-ips and cut lacquers for each title. After checking for quality these were rejected. Please Please Me was abandoned in favour of concentrating on Sgt. Pepper's so a new master was supplied by EMI UK and they set to work again.
In April 1982 the first serious cut was created, with Side 2 being successful. Side 1 was more problematic and it wasn't until the third recut, which took 8 hours to cut just 40 minutes of music, that produced a result with which they were satisfied. This is known as the -3 cut and was used to create the final finished disc.
This LP never went on sale in regular record stores, but was made exclusively available to the public at the Sydney Hi-Fi And Audio Show on July 3rd 1983. Just 497 numbered copies were released with unique label artwork, mirroring the black and silver one EMI box Parlophone labels of 1969, and housed inside a single pocket picture cover with AUDIOPHILE designated on the back. Each LP had an individually numbered sticker fixed to the top right corner of the back cover. This is a very low numbered copy, 004. The release also carries the unique catalogue number AUDIO-5."
