 THE BEATLES

SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND

Capitol MAS 2653, mono

does not have NEMS or Maclen Music copyrights

RARE!!

Prior to play-grading this record was cleaned on a VPI record cleaning machine.  Play-grading was done on a Dual 1229Q with a Shure V15 Type III cartridge and nearly new VN35MR stylus tracking at 1.25 grams.  How the record plays on your equipment may vary.

I am not a Beatles' record expert, so please ask any questions you have that will help you determine any of the finer details regarding this copy.

The record grades VG+.  There are some spindle marks on the labels that are more pronounced on side 1. Original inner sleeve is included, but the record will be kept in a plain  sleeve to preserve the original.  Sleeve has a small black spot on it, some creasing and a 6" split along the bottom.  I would consider it VG.  This copy comes with the original insert which has a number of creases and grades VG+.

NOTE: PLEASE READ THE ITEM DESCRIPTION AND TERMS OF THIS AUCTION CAREFULLY. 

PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS ITEM BEFORE YOU BID. 

ALL SALES ARE FINAL!

I ALSO HAVE  ANOTHER MONO COPY OF "SGT. PEPPER'S" CURRENTLY LISTED, TWO MONO COPIES OF "INTRODUCING THE BEATLES" UP FOR AUCTION, A NUMBER OF RARE MONO PRESSINGS OF OTHER EARLY BEATLES LPs AND SOME OTHER 60'S VINYL RARITIES UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CHECK OUT THESE OTHER AUCTIONS.  I

WILL GLADLY COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS ON MULTIPLE ORDERS.

Shipping: The record and jacket will be protected in a plastic sleeve and will be mailed in an LP mailer, with the record in its sleeve, removed from its jacket.  

I have posted the item will ship within four days of receipt of payment,  however generally it is more like 1 - 2 days.  As per eBay policy, the shipping cost for this LP is listed as $4.  For that amount, I will ship within the United States using media mail or first class with mandatory delivery confirmation and insurance,  whichever $4 will pay for.

At the end of the auction, however,  I will determine the overall best way to ship the LP (the postal service, UPS or FedEx).  I do not overly inflate shipping costs, however on a rare and valuable item like this I do insist on delivery confirmation and insurance.  International shipping will be calculated based on the winner's location.  Please note that for items shipping to other countries I may require, at the winner's expense, the highest level of delivery confirmation that country offers.  Please check with your country's postal service as this can be quite expensive in some cases.

Acceptable forms of payment: PayPal. Payment must be received within 7 days of auction’s end, or seller reserves the right to cancel transaction and offer the record to someone else. 

Thanks for looking and good luck to all who bid
