Hello and welcome to one of my listings. Primarily I am a collector however from time to time I like to offer items from my collection. I grade very strictly, using the UK Record Grading system- both play grading and visual grading are used, Visual grading is based on inspection under both normal and extreme bright light, as you will see from my feedback I do normally get this right! If for any reason you are not happy however I do offer a 100% money back promise providing the record is returned in the condition it was sent in. Thanks for looking!t

The Beatles ‘SGT PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND!' EXTREMELY Rare WIDESPINE sleeve! MONO- NICE COMPLETE COPY!

Artist: The Beatles

Title: Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Description: The early ‘wide spine’ sleeves to these mono and stereo pressings of this famous album were quickly withdrawn after it was found that they took up far too much room when delivered to the music retailers, so it was only the first and most early copies that received covers with this almost book like format, with subsequent pressings receiving the far more common thinner spined covers. This widespine feature to this early copy is slightly rarer in stereo than its mono counterpart this one too is a nice solid respectable example complete with its red and white inner and card cut.

Catalogue number: PMC 7027 (Mono)

Matrix Numbers:XEX 637-1/ XEX 638-1

Mother/ Stampers: 2/MG & 1/T

Format: 33rpm (12 Inch LP)

Year: 1967

Label: Parlophone

Condition;

Disc : Very Good Plus: A nice clean copy which harbours no serious or offending marks, under bright light a selection  of hairlines become visable on both sides however this is certainly a far better than average example. Play as expected is unworn and sharp sounding, certainly judging by the labels this copy has not been played much there is touches of background in quieter areas and imbetween tracks.  

Sleeve: Excellent : A lovely example of this rarer earlier sleeve- majoritively without fault apart from some very minor corner rubs, the spine is nice and clean/ square.(see pictures). 

Labels: Excellent Plus: Both labels are in beautiful condition, free of any wear/ names/ stickers; both boast only one or two tiny spindle trails each.  

Inner: Excellent minus: Unspilt and relatively unworn with just storage creasing to the bottom. 

Cut Out Sheet: Near Mint: Original darker earlier variation. 

I aim to provide the most honest and accurate grading to ALL of my records. All records are graded to the highest and most strict standards in accordance with the guide set by the UK Record Collectors Guide. Close examination under a bright desk top lamp is used in the grading of vinyl playing surface as well as normal daylight.

UK Record Grading System 

Mint:

The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be mint.

Excellent:

The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good:

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable

Good:

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc

Fair:

The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Poor:

The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing
