THE BEATLES
SGT PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND
1967 1st Mono Pressing
1st Matrix -1/ -1
Sleeve:
Very Good Plus condition. A couple of thumbnail creases to the laminate and an area of grazing on the spine edge but otherwise faultless lamination, and has retained its glossy bright colour. The spine is still clear white and unfrayed with clear title text. The gatefold pictorial inside of the Fab Four has no lamination creases and is unmarked, and the laminate down the length of the spine is also completely intact without any fraying. There is a minor amount of edge wear to the opening edge and tiny corner scuffs.
This is a very neat example with no writing or writing imprints.
The wide spine sleeve’s were the first issues for SGT. PEPPER - as can be deduced by The Beatles pictured holding these copies at the photo launch of the album.
Inner Sleeve: The psychedelic ‘Fools’ inner sleeve is completely intact without splits to the edges, and there is no age spotting. Very Good Plus condition for one these. There is little record ring wear, and the right-hand side fold-over is starting to become a bit detached at the top and bottom.
Cut-Out’s Card - Excellent or better condition, would’ve been barely ever removed from its sleeve
The Vinyl: In Very Good Plus condition with a fair amount of ultra-light wispy hairlines revealed under bright light which are superficial to the surfaces i.e. nothing obtrusive to the audio and certainly nothing that can be considered anything near like a scratch. There are no imperfections which detract from its more than respectable appearance. The surfaces still project a bright glossy pressing sheen, and are clean. There is no groove wear, warps, scuffs or scratches.
The Labels: Excellent/ Excellent Plus condition. There is hardly any spindle wear and just a few tiny spindle line traces.
The Audio: The audio is pretty much faultless with just the occasional light tick evident but only in some of the quieter run-in’s and fade-out’s - barely noticeable and nothing on the vinyl surfaces to create any discernible loss in audio quality. No crackle, pops, skips, jumps or sticks or unwanted noise. Plays smoothly on both sides with lucid detail and warm mono bass.
Commensurate with a widespine 1st pressing this vinyl is heavy-set in weight and has very early mother and stampers:
Side 1: 2 OA
Side 2: 2 M
