The Beatles (1967 mono VINYL)

	A$		200
	$		133

Beatles' record producer and arranger George Martin --the Fifth Beatle --once said: "You've never really heard Sgt Pepper until you've heard it in mono." As it turned out after hours of listening tests, it's completely true.

This is an original 1967 Australian mono pressing of Sgt. Peppers THE WAY IT SHOULD BE HEARD….ON VYNIL! This is the Holy Grail of all today’s Beatles releases!!! The record has some very minor scratches (of course) but it’s in seriously pristine condition for it’s age. It is not warped or curved from heat, and PLAYS PERFECTLY! There is also a small tear (see photo) at the bottom of the sleeve but it is not that bad at all. Apparently, the Beatles didn't give a damn about the stereo mix, only about the mono. In fact, they cared so little that they passed on the stereo mixing sessions: Once the mono was done, they left the building. And The Beatles actually helped mix their mono mixes, not the stereo ones. This record was made to be heard in mono! Finding the actual mono mix in the market on vinyl is almost impossible! So now they are about to release the mono mixes in a CD box set, but here is an ORIGINAL 1967 copy on vinyl!!! Recording for Sgt. Pepper's started on December 8, 1966 with take one of When I'm Sixty-Four. The last track recorded was violins and cellos for Within You Without You on April 3, 1967, and mixing was completed April 20. Almost as an afterthought, the sounds for the Sgt. Pepper's ending groove were recorded the next day. The original working title of A Day In The Life was "In The Life Of..." A rare session outside of Abbey Road occurred during the time of the Sgt. Pepper sessions at Regent Sound Studio in London for part of Fixing A Hole on February 9, 1967. Also during this period, the long-lost avante-garde Beatles recording called Carnival of Light was recorded on January 5, 1967. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was officially released in both mono and stereo on June 1, 1967, although it was rush released in the UK on May 26. It was actually played on the radio in Britain on the BBC show Where It's At, the week before on May 20, except for A Day In The Life, which had been banned by the BBC the day earlier, on the grounds that it could encourage a permissive attitude towards drugs.

I will post it in a special protective album container and will charge $40 au flat rate.
