The Beatles
SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND
Original 1967 UK Stereo 1st Pressing w/ Rare Wide Spine Cover
PARLOPHONE PCS 7027 : MATRIX NOs YEX-637-1/YEX-638-1
Stampers: 3 GMH / 4 GAT
Vinyl - EX
The labels have some dusty patches on both sides and there are a noticeable but small amount of spindle trails suggesting sparse but careful play. The record surfaces looks superb! It has only the slightest signs of light, wispy paper sleeve hairline marks under intense light and looks stunning on both sides. The only notable demerit is a small series of marks on Side 2, shown in the photos, which causes some audible ticks during the intro of "A Day In The Life". Audio playback is strong with only very light static in the quietest moments and a few spots of audible crackle and the odd pop in "When I'm Sixty Four". The rest of the LP is superb and the original tube cutting sounds amazing! Overall graded as Excellent, however may be improved even further with a proper cleaning machine.
Cover - VG+
The rare wide-spine cover is in Very Good + condition. The front and back panels are presenting awesomely with only light signs of laminate wear. The spine text is strong but it does have a couple of bumps and it's a bit crushed on the inside - there is a noticeable crease on the left side of the gatefold shown in the photos too which suggests this might have been tightly stored at one point. There's a light thumbnail crease on the back left corner and some slight wear on the openings but all in all the cover's in a really great condition for it's age and it's awesome to look at. If not for the inside crease I'd have definitely graded it higher.
Comes with the original cut outs sheet which is in perfect condition, but unfortunately no original flame inner sleeve is present. A high quality archival inner sleeve has been included.
Any questions or information needed, please ask! I'm happy to help :)
