NOT ONLY IS THIS A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER EARLIEST UK MONO SUPER WIDESPINE  FULLY COMPLETE WITH INSERT AND  FOOL INNER BUT ALSO A SUPERB LOOKING & PLAYING COPY TOO .   L@@K

DUE TO THE   DOUBLING FOR THE COST OF SENDING SMALL PACKETS I HAVE HAD TO RE-INTRODUCE A DOMESTIC UK POSTAL COST. IT STILL WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE POSTAGE BUT WILL LIMIT MY LOSSES. SORRY ABOUT THIS, PLEASE SEND YOUR THANKS FOR THIS TO ROYAL MAIL. IF I CAN FIND ALTERNATIVES I WILL 

THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT SLEEVED VARIANTS OF SGT PEPPER AND ALTHOUGH THE CRONOLOGY IS NOT TOTALLY CERTAIN, THE AMOUNT OF LOW MOTHER/STAMPER COPIES FOUND IN WIDESPINE SLEEVES ( ESPECIALLY STEREO'S ) TENDS TO SUBSTANTIATE THE BELIEF THAT THESE WIDESPINE SLEEVES ARE INDEED THE EARLIEST MADE. 

INDEED AT THE PRE-RELEASE LAUNCH PARTY ( WHICH i THINK WAS HELD AT BRIAN EPSTEIN'S LONDON HOME ) IN SOME PICTURESTHE BEATLES CAN BE SEEN CLEARLY HOLDING A WIDESPINE SGT PEPPER VARIANT:-

HOWEVER IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT STORAGE ISSUES LED TO A RAPID RE-DESIGN OF THE SLEEVES TO REDUCE THE WIDTH OF THE SPINE AND IT IS PROBABLY HERE WERE THE SO-CALLED " FOURTH PROOF " THIN SPINE SLEEVES APPEAR WHICH WERE ACTUALLY PROBABLY PROOFS FOR NEW STANDARD THINNER SPINE SLEEVES. AS SUCH THE FOURTH PROOFS ARE PROBABLY NOT THE EARLIEST SLEEVE VARIANTS AS OFTEN CLAIMED, THESE WIDESPINES ARE.

FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE UK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT...  non uk bidders please read my notes about international postage below.....returns policy only applies to UK outside of UK buyer has to cover the return postage! FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT due to ebays revised " buyer " protection policy even more sellers will start to refuse to sell internationally. I however will still sell internationally but i reserve the right to not to complete any international transaction if the buyer has any bad or witheld feedback or for any other reason that I choose and this is especially so for items that sell for near to GBP 150 or higher. So if you are an international bidder and win one of my auctions and then find I have completed the transaction elsewhere this will be because the new ebay/paypal policy now makes it almost impossible for sellers to sell safely overseas, thank you

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you.
