Description
THE BEATLES
'SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND'
In the past, early 1970's issues of Beatles LPs have been unfairly judged as being inferior to 1st pressings. However, close attention to detail, and more importantly, sound quality shows that they sound as good as or in some cases, a little better than their overplayed, more expensive 1st pressing counterparts.
These discs pressed in the UK between October 1969 until late 1972 on 1 or 2 EMI Box, 'Gramophone Co..' rimmed labels, were pressed on high quality vinyl and in most cases used the same original 'tube-cut' mixes/masters as 1st pressings. All boast outstanding sound quality which later solid-state cuts never matched.
If you value sound quality and want to enjoy tube-cut UK Beatles mixes at a fraction of the price of the originals, look no further. You will not be disappointed.

CONDITION
Disc
Labels: 1. NEAR MINT 2. MINT
A near perfect set with just a single tiny spindle trail to the side 1 label, but none on side 2.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces are pristine, unmarked and in MINT condition when viewed in strong daylight. Close & careful inspection directly under my powerful halogen light reveals just a sparkling rainbow gloss and a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines but no other significant marks or wear. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: NEAR MINT
This extremely impressive sounding copy was played just ONCE directly after purchase and transferred to tape and carefully stored thereafter in a clean, non-smoking environment. As a result, the sound is perfectly clean & totally unworn, sounding as good as the day it left the shop
Cover
EXCELLENT
A clean & strong example with a vibrant & vivd front panel laminate which bears just 2 'thumbnail' wrinkles but no other significant signs of wear. There is some slight shelfwear bruising to the lower corners and a few tiny 'pushes' to the opening edges but no tears or feathering to any. Inside is immaculate and 'as new'. The rear panel is just a bright & glossy as the front with just a touch of storagwear. The spine is clean & fully worded and all seams are smooth, unstressed and unsplit.
Cut-out Sheet
NEAR MINT
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with just the inevitable disc impression but no writing, tears or splits.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
