Description
An original first release UK EMI "Sgt Pepper" by The Beatles cassette from 1968-1971 identified by its full artwork "four heads" inlay design, the lime green paper labels (they look yellow in the photos), the circular 1&7/8 i.p.s. denotation at the top of the spine inlay. The track listing is the same as the vinyl album, unlike other Beatles albums cassettes which had their tracks jumbled up from the original vinyl LP order. In its original clear "Norelco" case.
Note the inclusion of "Sold In UK Subject To.... etc" on the inside of the inlay.
Superb condition and audio quality is testament to its little use. Played and tested throughout both sides. Perfect.
In excellent condition, with no raising to the lime green paper labels. This first release issue preceeded the introduction of the all gold reissues in January 1972, when the cassette market really took off, so it is quite rare. Produced by EMI when they were quite wary of the new music format and wondering how it may affect their vinyl sales.
