Description
NOT ONLY IS THIS A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER SUPER UK WIDESPINE MONO BUT ALSO FULLY COMPLETE WITH INSERT AND FOOL INNER AS WELL AS BEING BOTH A SUPER LOOKING AN AUDIOPHILE PLAY QUALITY COPY TOO !!
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 LIKE THIS ) 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.
ALSO DISCS ARE USUALLY GRADED ONLY VISUALLY DUE TO THE VARIANCES ON PLAYBACK BETWEEN SYSTEMS SO IF YOU ENCOUNTER A PROBLEM IN PLAYBACK PLEASE EMAIL ME FIRST UNLIKE THE RECENT LOVELY BUYER WHO JUST LEFT ME BACK FEEDBACK WITHOUT NOTICE NOT EVEN GIVING ME THE COMMON COURTESY OF TRYING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM ( DETAILS CAN BE ACCESSED BY CLICKING ON MY FB SCORE )

DOMESTIC DISPATCH WILL BE BY SIGNED FOR DELIVERY, THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT ! INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW
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.
(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )
INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...
Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.
THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..
DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ,
