THE COLLECTION CONSISTED OF AN AMAZING CATALOGUE OF BEATLES 1960S PRESSINGS AS HE SOUGHT TO COLLECT EVERY STOCK COPY VARIATION HE COULD FIND. AS WELL AS HAVING SOME VERY VERY RARE RECORDS THE MAIN THING THAT MADE THIS COLLECTION EXTRA SPECIAL WAS THAT EVERY LP WAS KEPT IN FANTASTIC CONDITION AND WAS LOOKED AFTER PERFECTLY. HE ONLY EVER BOUGHT THE VERY BEST HE COULD FIND AND CLEARLY CARED FOR EVERY RECORD FAUTLESSLY - RECORDING EVERY RECORD ONTO TAPE TO PRESERVE THEM IN TOP CONDITION. ALL WERE STORED IN AN IDEAL RECORD CABINET WHICH WAS OUT OF SUNLIGHT AND EXACTLY THE CORRECT CONDITIONS FOR LONG TERM PRESERVATION OF RECORDS. THEY ARE QUITE SIMPLY THE BEST EVER COLLECTION OF BEATLES RECORDS I HAVE EVER ACCQUIRED. THE COVERS, INNERS, LABELS AND RECORDS ARE ALL IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION - OR WHERE THE RARITY WAS EXTREMELY HIGH - HE SIMPLY BOUGHT THE BEST HE COULD FIND!!!!

I HAVE ALSO PLAY GRADED EACH LP ON MY OWN HIGH QUALITY SYSTEM - ALWAYS OF COURSE TAKING THE UTMOST CARE IN HANDLING AND PLAYING. ANY SERIOUS COLLECTOR OF RARE RECORDS WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!! SO DONT MISS OUT!!!!

On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' and is a Stereo UK 1st pressing!!!! THIS IS A SUPREMELY RARE 1ST PRESSING!!!! THIS IS A MEGA RARE 'WIDE SPINE' STEREO PRESSING!!!! ONLY THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSINGS HAD WIDE SPINES - AND STEREO WIDE SPINES ARE THE RAREST OF ALL!!!! ONLY LPS PRESSED IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF RELEASE HAD WIDE SPINES, AFTER THIS - BECAUSE OF PRODUCTION PROBLEMS - THE COVERS WERE QUICKLY CHANGED TO THE STANDARD SPINE AS THESE WERE MUCH EASIER TO PRODUCE. WIDE SPINES ARE VERY VERY HARD TO FIND - HOWEVER STEREO WIDE SPINES ARE MUCH MUCH RARER THAN MONO BECAUSE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE RELEASE OF THE SGT PEPPER LP HARDLY ANYONE WAS BUYING STEREO PRESSINGS - AND OVER 80% OF SALES WERE IN MONO!!!! DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE RARITY OF A WIDE SPINE IN STEREO - YOU SIMPLY NEVER SEE THEM!!!! DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THE RAREST WIDE SPINE VARIANT!!!! DONT MISS OUT!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a VERY few light spindle marks!!!! LOOK AT THE PICTURES OF THE CENTRE HOLE - TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! The vinyl is in STUNNING condition for its age. Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and only some light paper scuffs visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! IT PLAYS STUNNINGLY with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and NO crackle!!!!

I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 'Psych' inner!!!! The 'cut-out' insert is in PERFECT uncreased condition!!!! The MEGA RARE Stereo 'Wide Spine' Gatefold FLIPBACK Cover is in STUNNING condition for its age!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, slight corner wear, only a VERY few creases and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are RAZOR straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the inside of the cover is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!! The inside spine is in STUNNING condition and opens with that lovely 'crackle' that you only get with VERY little used covers!!!! THE COVER RETAINS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL FLATNESS AND THERE IS NO RINGWEAR!!!! There is one slight creaseline running across the cover - though there is NO damage or splits to the laminate - and the cover is still VERY flat looking!!!! There is also NO splits, NO rips, and NO tears!!!! The cover must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!
