BEATLES UK - SGT PEPPERS, Mispress label, Mono.

PMC 7027 – Original Black and Yellow Parlophone label.

An original UK pressing in 100% original condition,  featuring one of the rarest known versions of this ground breaking album.

This copy has  the song credit, ‘A Day in the Life’ MISSING off the record label !.  It isn’t clear how this came about,  there is an interesting storey that in 1967 the BBC in England banned the song ‘A Day in the Life’ and as a result the song  title was removed from the record label !.   This storey is interesting but unlikely to be true, as the song remained on the albums sleeve and the song still played on the record !.

This record is 100% original right down to its  white  square cornered  ‘Patent (not Patents) Applied For’ inner sleeve.

The front  sleeve image has a lighter blue sky colour than regular Pepper sleeves.

CONDITION:

THE MAIN SLEEVE:  is in near very good condition, the sleeve is fully laminated. The colours on the sleeve are bright and clear and have not faded in anyway.  When the gatefold sleeve is opened the ‘period’ original exposed flipbacks can be seen, the inside of the gatefold sleeve is very clean.   The spine is in good+ condition and is complete  and very solid, there is some discolouring and  80% of the text on the spine is readable.  A very good solid original sleeve.

THE INSERT: the original  DARK Green cardboard cut-out  is present and  is in excellent condition, there are two very small pieces of writing in Blue pen on the rear.

THE INNER SLEEVE: is in very good+ condition and is the original White sleeve with a printed ‘Patent’ reference on it.  For its age it is very clean and has  NO edge rubbing wear.   These original period sleeves are very hard to find as inner sleeves tend to get swapped over the years.

THE VINYL:  side One is in very good+ condition, side two is in very good condition.   The  period   ‘thick’, heavy vinyl  is dark and has a good gloss.

The matrix no’s. are:    XEX  637 - 1 and   XEX   638 – 1, 

Mother/Stampers are:      3   7   M R R   and    2    D R M,  

THE AUDIO: on side One, is very good, with very little in the way of the usual crackle.  Side Two the audio is also very good but  plays with a little more background crackle.  The  record plays really well  and lays flat on the turntable and plays without the needle  skipping or jumping. 

THE LABELS:   side One the label is in very good condition,   the all important label on side Two is in good++ condition and has more spindle wear and  features a VERY RARE MISPRESS,  the brilliant song  ‘A Day in the Life’   has been LEFT OFF  the label !.     There are  NO  embossed letters  on the labels.
