Description

THE BEATLES - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 


1967 UK Mono First Pressing on Parlophone in German printed Odeon sleeve - RARE COMBINATION


Cat# PMC7027 


'Sold in UK...' and 'Gramophone Co' label text - No tax code 


Original psychedelic inner sleeve and 'cut-out' insert (inner printed in UK, insert printed in Germany) 


Matrix; XEX637-1 / XEX638-1 


Mother/Stampers; 3 PP / 2 HG 


Fully laminated gatefold sleeve 


Includes a clipping from the 30th May - 5th June 1987 issue of the TV Times (see photos) 


The record is visually in Very Good condition with noticeable marks, scuffs and hairlines, but no deep scratches to be worried about at all (see photos). The full play-grade revealed a lovely audio on the whole, with very little to fault it. There is some background on 'She's Leaving Home' and also in the run-in to side two, which also had some brief pops, but otherwise, the record sounded great. 


The sleeve is in Excellent condition with just some very minor signs of age and storage (see photos). 


The cut-out insert is in Excellent condition with just a very small mark/stain to the bottom (see photos). 


The inner sleeve has no splits or tears and just has some creasing and signs of age and use (see photos). 


Please note that all sales to the Russian Federation are currently suspended 


I use the UK Record Collector grading system Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler CD?s and CASSETTES As a general rule CD?s and Cassettes either play perfectly ? in which case they are in Mint condition ? or they don?t, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD?s are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves.
