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

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 on these mis pressed labels but on the record label on side one there is an additonal ‘dot’ printed on the line of text, ‘Sold in U.K.’ etc, as it reads, ‘Sold in .U.K.’ etc.

CONDITION:

THE MAIN SLEEVE: is in near excellent condition, it is fully laminated. An original UK mono ‘flipback’ gatefold sleeve. The four opening edges have remained clean and sharp for its age. The spine is in near excellent condition and has remained a good clean white and all of the text on the spine is readable. There are NO splits, tears, stains, pen writing, stickers or sticker residue on the sleeve.

THE INSERT: is in very good++ condition and is the original DARK green card insert. Theres NO pen writing, tears, stickers or sticker residue. There is what appears to be a couple of light ‘ring’ marks to the front, what appears to be from a ‘tea cup !’.

THE INNER SLEEVE: is in near excellent condition and is a rare crossover inner sleeve, ‘Patent applied for’ changed slightly from the earlier ‘Patents applied for inner’. There are NO tears, pen writing, stickers or sticker residue. There is some splitting to the two side edges and to the bottom edge.

THE VINYL: is in very good ++ condition, it has remained very dark and glossy. The vinyl is made from the period thick, heavy vinyl.

The matrix  nos. are:  XEX  637 – 1  and  XEX  638 - 1,  

The mother / stampers are:  ‘3  8   M M H’ and ‘ 0 (looks like an 0 with a tail on top !) and ‘M M H ’.

THE AUDIO: is very good, it plays with some crackle and I did hear some light ‘ticks’ to track five for the first 30 seconds of play, approx. Side two also plays very good, with some crackle, it plays with some light ‘ticks’ heard here and there, but overall it plays with a good loud clear mono sound. The record lays flat on the turntable.

THE LABELS: side one is in excellent condition, side two is in very good++ condition. The labels are free from any pen writing, stickers or sticker residue.
