Description
Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don't miss out.
My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.
You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.
Beatles - Sgt Pepper - Yellow & Black Labels - Stereo - Rarest Wide Spine Complete 1st UK Pressing - Extremely Rare LP - Great Vinyl + Really Nice Sleeve + Red & White Inner + Cutout Insert
Great 1st pressing which has the Earliest Yellow and Black Parlophone Labels and Red & White Inner Sleeve and Rarest Wide Spine Sleeve. These Pressings hardly ever come up and this one is in Great Condition
Side 1: YEX 637 - 1 4 AH
Side 2: YEX 638 - 1 4 AO (KT Tax Code around spindle)
Side A has a couple of faint and fine non feeling scratches and some extremely light whispy sleeve removal marks under strong artificial light. Side B has one fine hairline scratch, 2 small scratches and some light whispy sleeve removal marks under strong artificial light, It has a really nice shine and it's a Great example of this Very Rare Earliest Pressing.
PLAYTESTED and the audio is strong and vibrant, no deterioration in sound, it sounds amazing, No Jumps, sticks or skips and it lays flat on the turntable. Some static in the quite parts and a little clicking from time to time, this has not been cleaned but has been stored for 40+ years so will benefit from a proper clean which I will let the new owner do/consider.
Labels both have signs of play(spiders legs) under strong light, Both labels are clean and free from the usual writing etc Stunning...see photos
Original Earliest Wide Spine Garrod & Lofthouse Gatefold Sleeve has some wear. The front and back of sleeve show light rubbing, still has some shine, there are some faint indentations to front and back visable in the light, some small creases from edges and a few light thumbnails to front near opening, front has small faint sticker mark top right. Some corner wear. No wear to bottom edge, top edge has a small patch of damage on back edge. Light handling wear to opening edge. Spine is solid and still fully readable, a little faint squashing mainly towards the bottom. Inside is flat crisp and undamaged....see photos...This is a Really Nice Example of this sleeve, Not perfect but certainly not a bad example.
The original Red & White Inner has no splits and is clean and flat with some light creasing near edges. A Great Example.
The Original Cutout is in Excellent shape, unused and no creases.
A Very rare LP In Great Condition.
