Description
The Beatles: Sgt Pepper 1st Press Mono With Cut-Out. Extra Dot. Tested. Audio Ex.
MONO PMC 7027. FIRST EVER PRESSING. FIRST PRESS MATRIX. GATEFOLD FLIP BACK LAMINATED SLEEVE WITH ORIGINAL NEAR MINT CUT-OUTS. KT TAX CODE TO SIDE 2 CENTRE.
PLAY TESTED SEPTEMBER 25th. Audio Excellent.
AUDIO - EXCELLENT
The audio is superb, minimum excellent, with barely a click, pop, or crackle to be heard. Even on the quieter sections, there’s very little surface noise. A great audio experience.
VISUAL - EXCELLENT
Visually, there is a deep glossy sheen, the only marks/hairlines/very light scuffs visible under an angled light, are across track 4 side 1, and tracks 5 & 6 on side 2. However, there is nothing audible on these tracks on playback, which remains excellent throughout.
LABELS (Extra dot to side 1) - EXCELLENT
The labels are strong, clean and graffiti free on both sides, and are again excellent, with just some very minor spindle ware. And of course, side 1 has the misprinted extra dot, with ‘SOLD IN.U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE’ etc. It was originally thought that only Stereo pressings had this misprint, but a small number of Mono pressings had the same error, and are becoming increasingly difficult to track down, especially in such excellent condition as this copy.
CUT-OUT - EXCELLENT.
Original cut-out, again in excellent condition, with just the tiniest amount of ware/signs of storage to bottom right corner.
GATEFOLD SLEEVE - VERY GOOD+
The laminated g/f sleeve is clean, bright, and has just relatively minor shelf ware/creasing. The spine is clean, and easily legible, with some scuffing to top and bottom corners.
The inner g/f is superb. Bright, clean, and with very little creasing/ware. The opening edges are clean and defined.
It is the first pressing sleeve, with internal fold over seams/flip backs on the inside, and is in VG+ overall glossy condition.

In conclusion, this is a lovely, original first press mono, with excellent audio, which I’d give an
overall grading as VG++. I do though tend to be quite conservative in my gradings/descriptions, as being a collector myself, I appreciate that accurate and honest grading is paramount. Thus, I retain a 100% positive feedback rating, so rest assured, you can bid with confidence.
