THE BEATLES SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND
Issue : UK 1st PRESS Label : PARLOPHONE Catalogue No : SKL 5212 Matrix : XEX 637-1 / 638-1
This is the UK 1st Press of 'Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band' by The Beatles. The 1st press has the Peter Blake cut-out completely intact and the earliest 'patents pending' laminated mono Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve. The vinyl has the 1st press 'Sold In UK' and 'Gramophone Company' label text and the earliest XEX 637-1//638-1 matrix.
The vinyl is in Excellent condition. The vinyl has a sensational jet black gloss, every track looks superb. There are no significant signs of play at all, just a few of lightest, very faint hairlines. The label is superb. The black is flawless, the yellow and silver text are immaculate and there is just the slightest spindle wear.
The sound quality is Excellent. The vinyl lies completely flat on the turntable and the sound is exceptionally rich and vibrant. There is excellent clarity and audio separation, just very brief moments of the very slightest background hiss, but this is very faint and certainly does not spoil the enjoyment of this album at any point. It is sounds sensational.
It comes complete with the 'Peter Blake' inner in superb condition.
The Garrod & Lofthouse gatefold Mono laminated sleeve is in Excellent condition. The laminate has a stunning mirrored shine, the colours are vivid and the whole of the sleeve is completely solid and flat. There is just slight wear to the opening edge and a very light laminate crease on the back corner. The inside shines like new, the laminate creaks when opened and it is in sensational bright and clean shape. The flipbacks are fully intact and sealed. The spine is very firm with clear text. The back cover is also exceptionally clean and bright.
