Description
The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is a landmark album in the history of popular music, and its vinyl LP releases have become collectors’ items. One such release is the Capitol rainbow label edition with the catalog number MAS-2653. This particular edition was pressed in the United States in 1967 and is identified by its unique label design featuring a colorful band around a black background. The catalog number is presented as SMAS-2653 on the inner labels, SMAS 2653 on the back cover, and simply 2653 on the cover’s spine .
This edition of the album was manufactured by Capitol Records Inc. and was released in a gatefold format, which means the cover opens like a book to reveal additional artwork and information inside. The cover is made of thick cardboard, the vinyl LP itself contains the classic tracks that made Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band iconic, including “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” “With a Little Help from My Friends,” and “A Day in the Life.” The matrix runout details on the vinyl can vary between different pressings, with some including the “MASTERED BY CAPITOL” etching, indicating the mastering process at Capitol Records. This copy includes insert.
Two surface level scuff marks on side two near runout. Doesn’t induce skipping. Can be buffed out.
