Description
The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" LP. This is a fifth U.K. pressing, made in 1973. The vinyl is flawless. The laminated gatefold sleeve is conservatively graded VG+ but is close to NM. There is very, very slight ring wear and wear at the corners and very fine marks in the laminate that you can see under a bright light, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a nicer copy. The original insert is included and is NM and the original inner sleeve is included as well.
Matrix numbers (as best as I can read the vertical stamped letters):
Side 1: YEX 637-1 DGO G2 [vertical]
Side 2: YEX 638-2 CGG 3 [vertical]
Please ask any questions before bidding.
I do combine shipping; see my other auctions. $4.99 media for the first LP and $1 for each LP thereafter. Double LP sets could as 2 LPs.

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)
NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must be absent; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.
