Background...
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released on 26 May 1967,[nb 1] Sgt. Pepper is regarded by musicologists as an early concept album that advanced the roles of sound composition, extended form, psychedelic imagery, record sleeves, and the producer in popular music. The album had an immediate cross-generational impact and was associated with numerous touchstones of the era's youth culture, such as fashion, drugs, mysticism, and a sense of optimism and empowerment. Critics lauded the album for its innovations in songwriting, production and graphic design, for bridging a cultural divide between popular music and high art, and for reflecting the interests of contemporary youth and the counterculture.
The vinyl is really nice, it has a great glossy sheen to the surface and sits completely flat with no warping. Lovely clean labels and fab spindle holes. There are literally a small amount of light surface lines, but nothing notable or feelable. EXCELLENT -. May benefit from a professional clean.
The red Fool's Swirl Inner is EXCELLENT with no splits or tears, only age related discolouration.
The green Peter Blake cutouts are also EXCELLENT / NR MINT as seem to have been kept inside the gatefold.
The outer GATEFOLD cover is also very good, besides discolouration/wear to the spine, the rest has minimal age wear to corners/edges. Very nice.
OVERALL A FANTASTIC, ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE SET TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION!!!
