Description
This is John, Paul, George and Ringo, The Beatles, singing "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" on Capitol SMAS 2653 from 1967. This stereo record looks NM but play in MINT condition with no audio defects. The record also comes in a Capitol Records inner sleeve. The record does NOT have "Subsidiary of Capitol Industries" at the bottom. The gatefold jacket is NM condition. This item comes in a clear, resealable, poly-vinyl protective sleeve. Also included is a 5-page newspaper article on the Beatles. Price guides suggest a valuation of $180 for a NM copy without "subsidiary of Capitol Industries" at the bottom.. You can own this NM copy without that disclaimer for 50% of that suggested valuation.
U.S. postage and handling is $4.50 on this item. International customers should email me first for a shipping quote. All records are shipped outside the jacket to protect the jacket during shipment.
I grade in direct sunlight or under a high-intensity lamp to assure the most accurate grading possible. However, you have my unconditional guarantee that I will take the records back if you think that the records are not as stated. My reputation is what has kept me in business for 44 years.
If you win multiple auctions, I will combine packaging to save you as much postage as possible. I ship with sturdy cardboard packaging to protect your records. Please review my feedback from previously satisfied customers. I have been buying and selling records for 44 years now and as of February 2023 I am celebrating 24 years on eBay.
Definitions:
Mint = 10 = Just like it came from the factory. May still be factory sealed. These will generally be priced close to collector value.
NM = 9 = Near Mint = Very minor surface markings that do not interfere with the audio playback. These will generally be priced at 80% to 90% of collector value.
VG++ = 7.5 = Very Good++ = The surface markings are more noticeable and may or may not affect the audio playback. Sometimes a record can look VG++ but still play in NM condition. These will generally be priced at 60% to 75% of collector value.
VG+ = 5 = Very Good+ = Now the surface markings are quite noticeable and they will generally be heard during audio playback. These will generally be priced at 40% to 50% of collector value.
Generally, I will not list records below VG+ unless it is a rare record of importance to collectors.
