Description
Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
THE BEATLES
Sgt. Peppers
Very Rare Original 1969 Stereo Press with NO 'Sold in UK' Statement!!
On offer here is a very rare 1969 press of the Beatles legendary LP 'Sgt. Peppers'
This copy features the yellow / black Parlophone labels, but OMITS the 'Sold in UK' statement.
In mid 1969 the tax laws that required UK domestic presses to feature the 'Sold in the UK...' statement since 1964 were changed, and so this text on the label was removed. This happened literally just a short while before Parlophone changed the label style to the silver / black design.
By 1969 everyone was buying Yellow Submarine and Abbey Road. Everybody already had a copy of Sgt. Pepper and so, by the short time this label variation was in existence, nobody was really buying the album
This variation is very hard to find!
Not in the best condition but being sold due to its rarity as a collection filler. Please do not buy this record if you're only looking to play it.
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
