BEATLES "SGT PEPPERS"
ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE 1967 U.K 1ST MONO PRESSING.
ARGUABLY THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ALBUM OF POPULAR MUSIC EVER AND THIS WEEK VOTED THE BEST UK ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!! "SGT PEPPERS" WAS RELEASED TO AN EAGERLY AWAITING PUBLIC ON 01/06/1967 AND SOLD 250,000 COPIES IN ITS FIRST WEEK ALONE, IT ENTERED THE U.K ALBUM CHARTS AT NO1 WHERE IT REMAINED FOR 27 WEEKS!!!!
THE THEME OF THE ALBUM CONCERENED A MYTHICAL BAND WHICH LED TO IT BEEN CALLED THE FIRST "CONCEPT"ALBUM. THE MUSIC WAS SO INTRICATE, COMPLEX AND INNOVATIVE THAT IT STAGGERED OTHER ARTISTS WHO HAD BEEN SEEKING TO OUTDO THE BEATLES AT THAT TIME. EVEN MORE REMARKABLE IS THE FACT THAT THIS "MASTERPIECE" WAS RECORDED ENTIRELY ON A FOUR TRACK MACHINE. THE IDEA OF THE ALBUM WAS TO ACHEIVE A CONTINOUS FLOW OF MUSIC FROM ONE TRACK TO THE NEXT HENCE THERE IS NO MORE THAN A SECOND GAP BETWEEN EACH TRACK.
NOT ONLY DID THE LYRICS AND MUSIC ACHEIVE UNPRECEDENTED CRITICAL ACLAIM BUT SO TOO DID THE ALBUM COVER... DESIGNED BY PETER BLAKE THE ALBUM COVER IS NOW THE MOST FAMOUS COVER IN THE WORLD AND THE MOST IMITATED. THE IDEA OF SHOWING A HOST OF CELEBRITIES BOTH LIVING AND DEAD ON THE FRONT COVER WAS ORIGINALLY A SUGGESTION FROM PAUL. "SGT PEPPERS" WAS THE FIRST ALBUM TO BE RELEASED IN A GATEFOLD SLEEVE AND ALSO THE FIRST TO HAVE THE LYRICS PRINTED ON THE SLEEVE (THS WAS UNHEARD OF AT THE TIME AND CAUSED MANY PUBLISHING DIFFICULTIES) IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST TO INCLUDE A COLOURED INNER, UP TILL THEN INNERS WHERE EITHER BORING PLAIN WHITE OR BLACK.
THE ALBUM RECEIVED FOUR GRAMMY AWARDS IN ITS FIRST YEAR OF RELEASE AND STILL SELLS WELL TODAY IN CD FORM.

KT TAX CODE
THE YELLOW AND BLACK PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. LABELS CARRY "THE GRAMOPHONE CO" RIM TEXT , "SOLD IN UK" TEXT AND SIDE 1 HAS EMBOSSED KT TAX CODE. THE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES HAVE JUST VERY VERY LIGH TAND MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS , (IT HAS TO BE STRESSED THAT THESE REALLY ARE MINIMAL),THERE ARE NO MARKS OR WRITING WHATSOEVER. LABELS ARE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN.
THE GLOSSY HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS REALLY EXCELLENT TO BOTH SIDES. THE VINYL DOES HAVE SOME SURFACE MARKS (THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED) AND THERE IS THE ODD LIGHT "CLICK" IN PLACES BUT NOTHING THAT REALLY INTERFERES WITH THE LISTENING ENJOYMENT.
THE ORIGINAL RED, PINK AND WHITE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" INNER IS EXCELLENT. IT IS INTACT AND HAS JUST MINOR BUT EXPECTED CREASING, IT HAS NO MARKS OR WRITING AND THE INNER IS CLEAN AND STILL CRISP.
THE ORIGINAL CUT-OUT INSERTS ARE UNUSED AND AGAIN INTACT, THEY ARE CLEAN AND FREE FROM MARKS OR WRITING.
THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE, GATEFOLD, "FLIP-BACK" SLEEVE IS AGAIN IN GREAT CONDITION. IT HAS MINOR CORNER WEAR WHICH HAS PROBABLY BEEN CAUSED BY STORAGE HOWEVER THIS IS NOT EXCESSIVE , IN FACT LESS THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED. THE OPENING EDGES ARE STILL WELL DEFINED AND SHOW VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF WEAR.THE SPINE DOES DISPLAY SOME DAMAGE TO THE CENTRE, THE SLEEVE IS CLEAN, VIVID AND BRIGHT.
OVERALL THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASIC BEATLES RELEASE...... AND AS THE SLEEVE NOTES SAY "A SPLENDID TIME IS GUARANTEED FOR ALL"!!!!!!!!!
SHOULD YOU HAVE A RECORD LIKE THIS TO SELL THEN PLEASE DONT "STEAL" THIS WRITE-UP. WHILST WE DONT OBJECT TO ANYONE USING OUR WRITE-UPS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES WE HAVE FINALLY LOST PATIENCE WITH PEOPLE "STEALING" THEM WORD FOR WORD AND USING THEM FOR THEIR OWN LISTINGS... THIS IS AGAINST EBAY POLICY AND SHOULD WE BE MADE AWARE THAT ANY PART OF THIS TEXT HAS BEEN "STOLEN" WE WILL WITH OUT HESITATION REPORT THIS TO EBAY"....thank you
