Background...
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released on 26 May 1967,[nb 1] Sgt. Pepper is regarded by musicologists as an early concept album that advanced the roles of sound composition, extended form, psychedelic imagery, record sleeves, and the producer in popular music. The album had an immediate cross-generational impact and was associated with numerous touchstones of the era's youth culture, such as fashion, drugs, mysticism, and a sense of optimism and empowerment. Critics lauded the album for its innovations in songwriting, production and graphic design, for bridging a cultural divide between popular music and high art, and for reflecting the interests of contemporary youth and the counterculture.
The vinyl is absolutely beautiful. It has a superior glossy sheen in appearance and sits flat to the surface. Nice labels and spindle holes. There are some light insignificant non-feelable surface lines, a light no feel needle scuff and a tiny 3mm score, but overall Ex- . Spindle trails can be seen at an angle.
The outer GATEFOLD cover is also fabulous for age! It is vibrant and has a beautiful gloss still, with no splits or tears. Has minor dirt, age discolouration/wear to the corners/edges/spine as to be expected. Shows the saught AFTER "PATENTS PENDING". Ex
The green Peter Blake cutouts are great as seem to have been kept inside the gatefold. Has some age discolouration to the back. Ex+
Completing this set in an often missing Red Fool's Swirl 'patent applied for' protective inner in great shape. It is vibrant with no splits or tears. The colour seems off so not convinced it's the one that came with this one originally. Ex
OVERALL A FABULOUS AND SAUGHT AFTER PIECE TO ADD TO YOUR MUSICAL COLLECTION!!!
