ATTENTION BEATLES COLLECTORS!

AFTER MANY YEARS OF COLLECTING THE BEATLES,DUE TO A DAUGHTER AT UNIVERSITY,I AM GRADUALLY SELLING OFF OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS SOME OF THE MANY DIFFERENT COPIES I HAVE FOUND OF THE BAND'S ALBUMS,SINGLES AND RELATED ITEMS. BEING A WELL KNOWN COLLECTOR AND DEALER YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE SOME AMAZING AND IN SOME CASES VERY HARD TO FIND GEMS-ALL WITH CAREFUL GRADINGS AND IN DEPTH INFORMATION!HERE IS AN ORIGINAL MONO 1967 1ST EDITION OF THE ESSENTIAL BEATLES MASTERPIECE ALBUM: "SGT.PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND"BUT UNLIKE THE MAJORITY OF YELLOW/BLACK LABEL EDITIONS OF THE 1960s, THIS ONE HAS THE"SOLD IN THE UK"TEXT WHICH WAS NO LONGER PRINTED ON PARLOPHONE LABELS AFTER 1969 MAKING THIS ONE OF THE FIRST EVER COPIES PRESSED IN MONO USING THE YELLOW/BLACK LABEL DESIGN WHEN THE DEMAND FOR MONO WAS LESS THAN EARLIER BEATLES ALBUMS AS EVEN THE MOST BASIC NEW RECORD PLAYERS COULD SAFELY PLAY STEREO LPs RESULTING IN SOME DEALERS OBTAINING THE MONO VERSIONS TO SPECIAL ORDER.THOSE STILL STICKING WITH MONO WERE OFTEN USING OLD AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT-THIS COPY HAS NOT HAD THAT FATE!.

100% COMPLETE IN EVERY WAY WITH THE"PATENTS APPLIED FOR"RED/WHITE FLAMES DESIGN INNER SLEEVE AND THE ORIGINAL CUT OUT THAT HAS CLEARLY REMAINED INSIDE THE COVER FOR MOST OF THE LAST 45+ YEARS.

THE DISC ITSELF HAS A CLARITY AND WARMTH RARELY HEARD ON ORIGINAL 1967 MONO PRESSINGS.

THERE ARE SOME MAINLY VISUAL LIGHT SURFACE MARKS WITH SOME MINOR SURFACE CRACKLE HERE AND THERE SUCH AS AT THE QUIET FADE IN AT THE START OF EACH SIDE AND AT THE LONG FADE OUT OF"A DAY IN THE LIFE"BUT THAT IS BEING STRICT!

PMC 7027 WITH THE FOLLOWING MATRIXES:

SIDE ONE:XEX 637-1 at 5"0"CLOCK,6 at 8"0"CLOCK and RPO at 2"0"CLOCK.

SIDE TWO:XEX 638-1 at 7"0"CLOCK,R M L at 4"0"CLOCK and 9 at 11"0"CLOCK.

STRICTLY GRADED AS VERY GOOD+++ CONDITION. MOST MONO COPIES THAT WERE SOLD 45 YEARS AGO IN 1967 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT,SOMETIMES TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS BEEN PLAYED QUITE A FEW TIMES BUT STILL HAS DECENT SOUND WITH NO NASTY DISTORTION AS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE! NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS! CLEAN LABELS-ONLY VERY SLIGHT AND MINIMAL SPINDLE WEAR!

 PLEASE SEE ALL OF THE PHOTOS OF THE FRONT,INSIDE AND BACK OF THE COVER,THE CUT OUT,BOTH SIDES OF THE RED INNER+BOTH LABELS-NOTHING TO HIDE!

FULLY LAMINATED WITH THE FLIPBACK INSIDE-NOT ON 1970s REPRINTS! NOTE THE YELLOW BRIGHTNESS INSIDE-NORMALLY GRUBBY AND DIRTY-THIS ONE HAS A WONDERFUL GLEAM! THERE ARE A FEW SMALL CREASES-MOSTLY AT THE EDGES,BUT NO RIPS,STAINS,FEATHERING,REPAIRS ETC! PRINTED BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE.

THE RED/WHITE INNER HAS THE"PATENTS APPLIED FOR" AND "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" TEXT. THERE ARE SOME MINOR CREASES BUT NO STAINING,TEARS,WRITING OR REPAIRS-THE CUT OUT IS SUPERB WITH NO WRITING,RIPS OR STAINING. USUALLY MISSING! CLEARLY HAVING REMAINED INSIDE THE COVER FOR MOST OF THE LAST 45 YEARS! THE CUT OUT IS PRINTED IN GERMANY BUT THE COVER AND INNER ARE OF UK ORIGIN.

I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED AN EMI RECORDS INNER SLEEVE ADVERTISING SGT.PEPPER,THE FIRST PINK FLOYD LP AND OTHER LPs OF 1967 VINTAGE!

NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!

 THIS IS A LOVELY FLAT,THICK PRESSING!

THIS 1967 MONO REPRESS HAS FAR MORE BASS AND MUCH THICKER VINYL AS WELL AS A MUCH THICKER COVER THAN LATER 1970s and 1980s REISSUES WHICH HAD WAFER THIN VINYL!

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!
