★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Original 1st US Capitol Records Mono pressing of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band released on May 26, 1967. This copy is a very early 1st pressing without the “NEMS” / “MACLEN MUSIC” music publishing credits at the bottom right corner on the back cover. Very early 1st print gatefold cover is in fantastic factory sealed condition with the fully intact factory shrink wrap containing two original breathe holes in the lower half of each side of the album. It's incredibly hard to find this copy in such a superb Mint Minus condition. The center top of the front cover contains an orange-red “This Record Can Be Played on Any Stereo Phonograph” sticker affixed to the shrink wrap. The top left corner contains an original record store price tag attached to the cover with a staple. Original Capitol Records MAS-2653 (Mono) catalog number black label with a multicolored spectrum ("Rainbow") band along the labels’ edge. Most likely, the vinyl inside contains the very early 1st misprinted version of the black Capitol Records labels, which wrongly identifies the song ’With A Little Help From My Friend’ as ‘A Little Help From My Friend’ on Side 1. The album has a full set of extras, including a Capitol Records red & white psychedelic custom paper inner sleeve along with a color cardboard gimmick cut-out insert.
