Condition : Near Mint
This is the only time we have ever graded a Sgt Peppers as Near Mint throughout. It is without doubt the finest example we have ever seen.

This is the rare Stereo UK 1st Press of 'Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band' by The Beatles. The vinyl has the 1st press 'Sold In UK' and 'Gramophone Company' label text and the earliest YEX 637-1//638-1 matrix. The original Peter Blake cut-out is completely intact and the vinyl is housed in the scarce original red and white inner sleeve. It is complete with the original laminated inner flipback Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve. 


The vinyl is in Near Mint condition. The vinyl has a sensational jet black gloss, every track gleams. There really is no sign of play at, just one very wipsy hairline but this is entirely insignificant - the vinyl is the finest example we have ever seen. Absolutely superb. The grooves still have their original definition, it gleams like new.


The label is also in superb, Near Mint condition. The black is perfect, the yellow and silver text are immaculate and there is no heavy spindle wear, just one very faint spider mark. It is in fabulous condition.


The sound quality is Near Mint. The vinyl lies completely flat on the turntable and the sound is exceptionally rich and vibrant. There is fabulous clarity and audio separation throughout. It sounds as good as the day it was pressed.


It comes complete with the 'Peter Blake' inner in Mint condition. 


The scarce red and white inner sleeve is in Near Mint condition. This inner in this condition is so rare, it is solid, the white is crisp and bright and the red is vivid. The edges are solid with NO edge splits or tears. 


The Garrod & Lofthouse gatefold Stereo laminated sleeve is in Near Mint condition. I will try to express how fabulous this sleeve is - the laminate has a stunning mirrored shine, the colours are vivid and the whole of the sleeve is completely solid and flat. The only sign of age is the tiniest corner wear. The inside gleams 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. The edges are sensational, solid, firm and completely unworn.
