BEATLES UK – Sgt Pepper, mis pressed label, original UK mono.

PMC 7027 – black and yellow Parlophone labels.

A UK album in original condition, featuring:

1. a hard to find mis pressed copy, only printed in a very small number, as the record label on side two, the track ‘A day in the life’ has NOT been printed on the label !. It is hard to see how this could have happened at the EMI printing factory. One theory is, the track was banned by the BBC in 1967 in England, maybe it was that fact why the track was left off the label !. The reference to the track was never removed from the sleeve, so that theory seems unlikely,

2. unusual for these labels, there is an additional ‘dot’ printed within the ‘Sold in UK’ etc text on side one, as it reads ‘Sold in .U.K.’ etc.
