THE BEATLES NINTH ALBUM "SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND"!!!! AUSTRALIAN RED WAX PRESS STEREO DISC PCSO 7027.
THESE ARE VERY DIFFICULT ALBUMS TO LOCATE IN THIS SUPERB CONDITION!!!!
ON OFFER HERE IS A VERY RARE ALBUM BY THE BEATLES CALLED "SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND" AUSTRALIAN "RED WAX"!!!!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL STEREO AUSTRALIAN PRESSING ON THE "SILVER/BLACK PARLOPHONE LABELS", IT HAS THE "GRAMAPHONE COMPANY" EDGE TEXT, DOES NOT HAVE THE "FIRST PUBLISHED" TEXT, DOES NOT HAVE THE "SOLD IN THE UK" TEXT!!!! ALL OF THESE DENOTE THIS TO BE A TRUE AUSTRALIAN RED WAX PRESSING!!!!
THIS RELEASE CAME OUT ON THE 1st JUNE 1967 AND BY THE END OF THE FIRST WEEK SOLD 250,000 COPIES, BY THE END OF THE MONTH THE FIGURE WAS UP TO 500,000. IT NEVER SOLD THE ONE MILLIONTH COPY UNTIL APRIL 1973 . IT IS STILL IN THE TOP 10 OF ALBUMS WORLDWIDE AND IS STILL THE UK's BIGGEST SELLER OF ALL TIME!!!! IT WENT STRAIGHT TO NUMBER ONE AND DOMINATED THE TOP SPOT FOR 23 WEEKS!!!! SGT PEPPER'S WAS THE FIRST EVER "CONCEPT " ALBUM ALTHOUGH ANY LINK BETWEEN TRACKS IS TENUOUS, THE RECORD IS THE FIRST NOT TO BE BANDED INTO INDIVIDUAL TRACKS WITH HARDLY ANY GAPS BETWEEN SONGS. IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST TO USE THE RUN OUT GROOVE, THEREFORE LEAVE THE STYLUS ON THE RECORD AND IT WOULD CHATTER AWAY ENDLESSLY!!!!
THE MATRIX, MOTHER & STAMPER NUMBERS IN THE RUN OUT GROOVES ARE:
SIDE ONE: MATRIX "PSCO 7027-A" MOTHER & STAMPER NUMBERS ARE "AMX-67841" IT ALSO HAS YEX-638 AND W2B ETCHED ONTO THE RUN OUT GROOVE!!!!.
SIDE TWO: MATRIX "PHO 7027-B1" MOTHER & STAMPER NUMBERS ARE "AMX-67842" IT ALSO HAS YEX-639 AND WBC ETCHED ONTO THE RUN OUT GROOVE!!!!.
CONDITION!!!!
SIDE ONE: THE LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH NO SIGNS OF SPINDLE TRAILS. AND NO WEAR TO THE CENTRE HOLE. THE PLAYING SURFACE STILL RETAINS A BEAUTIFUL SHINE AND ACTUALLY LOOKS UNPLAYED!!!! AS FOR PLAYBACK I TESTED THIS ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 THROUGH A LINN SYSTEM AND BELIEVE ME IT SOUNDED SUPERB. EVEN THE RUN OUT GROOVES ARE SILENT!!!! THERE ARE NO "POPS", "CLICKS" OR "JUMPS" ANYWHERE!!!! I WOULD HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THE DISC AS EXCELLENT++!!!! IT REALLY DOES SOUND THAT GOOD!!!!
SIDE TWO: THE LABELS ARE AGAIN BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH NO SIGNS OF SPINDLE TRAILS AND NO WEAR TO THE CENTRE HOLE. THE PLAYING SURFACE STILL RETAINS A BEAUTIFUL SHINE AND LOOKS UNPLAYED. AGAIN THE PLAYBACK IS SUPERB!!!! THERE ARE NO "POPS", "CLICKS" OR "JUMPS" ANYWHERE AND AGAIN MUST GRADE AS EXCELLENT++!!!!
SLEEVE
THIS ICONIC COVER TOO, IS THE SUBJECT OF A FEW "FIRSTS". IT WAS THE FIRST TO HAVE THE LYRICS PRINTED ON THE REVERSE. THE INNER SLEEVE WAS ALSO THE FIRST TO BE DECORATED IN THE DESIGN BY SEEMON & MARIJKE. PLUS THE ALBUM CAME WITH A CARDBOARD CUT OUT WHICH INCLUDED A MOUSTACHE, A PICTURE CARD, SOME SERGEANT STRIPES, TWO BADGES AND A STAND UP!!!! EMI WERE HORRIFIED WHEN THEY GOT THE FINAL BILL AS COVERS BACK IN THE 60's USUALLY HAD A BUDGET OF £25.00 OR UP TO £75.00 FOR AN ACT AS BIG AS THE BEATLES. COPYRIGHT AND RETOUCHING FEES CAME TO £1,367.13s.3d PLUS MICHAEL COOPER's FEES CAME TO £1,500.12s. !!!! THE CONDITION IS FANTASTIC, THERE IS NO FEATHERING TO THE OPENING EDGES, THE SPINE IS WHOLE AND INTACT, THERE ARE NO LAMINATE LIFTS OR MARKS ANYWHERE AND MUST BE IN AT LEAST EXCELLENT CONDITION!!!!
THE ORIGINAL INNER "TRANSPARENT" SLEEVE IS IN GREAT ORDER!!!!
THE CARDBOARD CUT OUT IS IN EXCELLENT++ CONDITION!!!!
