Description
Condition: Record/ Sleeve VG/Ex
This is a 1st UK Mono pressing of the infamous album by The Beatles.
The Record:
Both sides have surface marks which do not affect the sound quality greatly. There is groove noise noticeable between tracks and during quieter segments. It has been deep cleaned and listened to in its entirety to confirm all this. The label on Side B has some very minor liquid marks, nothing serious, just noticeable.
Matrix for Side A: XEX-637-1
Matrix for Side B: XEX-638-1
The cover, sleeve and inners:
As the pictures show, the cover is nearly immaculate, only minor bumps and marks. The original psychedelic inner sleeve is included, also in excellent condition. The green card with Sgt. Pepper cutouts is 100% intact.
THIS IS A MONO RECORD.
(All records are graded visually under a very strong light and the photo in my listing is of the actual record for sale)
Grading System
M = Mint: Never been played or item still sealed. Cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster (ie contents) are in perfect condition.
NM = Near Mint: Almost brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover and contents nearly perfect.
Ex = Excellent: Shows some signs of being played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Cover and contents might have slight wear and/or creasing/ markings.
VG = Very Good: Obviously been played many times but no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on cover or contents, without any major defects. There may be some ink hand written on the cover.
G = Good: Sound quality has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion. Mild scratches. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration and possibly some ink hand written on the cover etc.
F = Fair: Still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise - it may even jump. Cover and contents may be torn, stained and/or defaced.
P = Poor: Will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc. Cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
B = BAD: The record is barely playable, and is only of use as a collection filler." Cover will be badly damaged or partly missing.
