Description

The 1967 original pressing mono version is the original intended recording.  Mono recordings are mixed differently than stereo in the studio, here are some differences in the mono version:

·      The flangey/ADT effect on Ringo's voice during some chorus of "With A Little Help From My Friends."

·      The tripped out flangey vocals from the second verse out on "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds."

·      The slightly longer end of "Fixing A Hole" where McCartney is wailing up high.

·      The change in tone in "She's leaving home" in the mono version - due to being sped up, not so dreary and long as in the stereo version.

·      The timing on the effects of "Mr. Kite."

·      The extended louder laughter on "Within You Without You."

·      The louder backing "oo-oo's" on "When I'm 64".

·      The "bleed edit" found at the beginning of the "Sgt. Pepper Reprise"; you can hear the machine flutter as it comes out of pause.

·      The low volume mumbo jumbo during the extended bass drum raps at the beginning of the "Sgt. Pepper Reprise".

·      The timing of the audiences are different on the "Reprise" section.

·      Paul McCartney ad libbing at the end. Paul sound like he is saying "Thank you very much good night now..." or "bye bye now".

The album is very good with only a handful of light scratches and sleeve scuffs. The cover would be very good with a bit of scuffs and minor wear, and the famous centerfold is almost perfect. No splits. BUT - someone punched a hole through the covers (see photos). I am the original buyer and do not know how this happened! Fortunately it did not touch the record itself. The original sleeve is torn but intact. Altogether, a wonderful copy of this legendary album.
