Information on "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"     Welcome to the Barber's "Pepper-Special" - up to auction, 6 quite different releases of The Beatles' outstanding album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I've tried hard to set up a compilation that ranges from rare (Y/B first press) via odd (pink back cover) thru sophisticated quality (Teldec DMM Germany). All listings are "linked" with each other, thus you can easily navigate between them by following the [GOTO LISTING] link...     Wasting precious time on stories everybody knows? - Well: Considered one of the greatest albums in rock history, and one that changed the world, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band showed the band's flair for writing and imagination; taking an unprecedented 129 days to record (most albums are recorded in a week or two). Paul came up with the title and concept: an old-fashioned band playing a concert in "the summer of love". Most songs were also written by Paul, since John had become so LAZY (at this point) that he hardly left his house. The incredibly varied sound effects and recording techniques left a mark on rock music that is even still felt today. The American version was almost identical as the U.K. version - except that the "inner groove" track was not included and the disc was banded wereas the British version was not. The album won Grammys for "Album Of The Year", "Best Contemporary Album", Best Album Cover, and "Best Engineered (Non-Classical) Recording". important releases Parlophone, PMC 7027 (mono), U.K.; May 26, 1967 1st press ««««« Parlophone, PCS 7027 (stereo), U.K.; May 26, 1967 1st press   Electrola HoerZu, SHZE 401 (stereo), Germany; May 30, 1967 1st press [GOTO LISTING] Odeon, SMO 81 045 - ZTOX 5636 (stereo), Germany; May 30, 1967 1st press   Capitol, MAS 2653 (mono), United States; June 02, 1967 1st press [GOTO LISTING] Capitol, SMAS 2653 (stereo), United States; June 02, 1967 1st press   Odeon, 1C 062-04 177 (stereo), Germany; 1969 2nd press   Parlophone S.I.A.E., 3C 062-04 177 (stereo) (rare pink back), Italy; 1971 2nd press [GOTO LISTING] Capitol, SMAS 2653 (stereo) (orange Label), United States; 1973 3rd press [GOTO LISTING] Electrola HoerZu, SHZE 401 (stereo), Germany; 1973 3rd press   Apple, 1C 072-04 177 (stereo), Germany; 1977 4th press   Teldec DMM, 064-7 46442 1 (stereo), Germany; 1980 remixed by George Martin

    You are bidding on a copy of Beatles'  "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album, issued  by  Parlophone in 1967.  This record comes in an allover very good shape.

   

• Yellow/Black Label
• worldwide first pressing
• Not just any "version", but the rare MONO Release
• K.T. Stamp on Label (Side 2)
• complete with insert, sheet with cut-outs
• has "The Gramophone Co. Ltd..." on outer rim
• has "Sold in U.K..."
• has "Made in Gt.Britain"
• early stampers! (see section on Parlophone Code)
• misspelled A Little Help From My Friends on cover (without With)

 

"Cracking" the Parlophone Stamper Code

• Mono and Stereo: Prefix of Stamper Number
  Mono (PMC) label using: XEX (you can see each label and inner groove both side 1 and 2). Stereo (PCS, P-PCS) label using: YEX (you can see each label and inner groove both side 1 and 2).
• Lacquer, Mother and Stamper Number
  
  • At the "6 O'clock" position on the inner groove area is the matrix number with a -1 or -2 etc. For instance, Beatles For Sale in stereo is YEX 142-1 (etc.). The "1" means the FIRST LACQUER cut from the master. -2 the second etc.
  • At the "9 O'clock" is a number which tell you what "mother" was used to generate the stamper actually used the press the record. A number of "mothers" are generated from the lacquer. Obviously a "1" means first mother generated from the lacquer. A "5" means it was much later--the fifth mother generated from the lacquer.
  • At the "3 O'clock" position there will be one to three letters, which are codes associated with numbers as follows, which tell you what stamper was used to press the actual record:
    G R A M O P H L T D (Gramophone Ltd.
    
    G=1 R=2 A=3 M=4 O=5 P=6 H=7 L=8 T=9 D=0
    
    Therefore, if the letters say "GR" that is stamper 12. "O" is stamper 5 etc.
  • Example 1:
    YEX 142-1, mother 1, stamper G
    is the very first pressing of Beatles For Sale in stereo: first lacquer, first mother, first stamper.
  • Example 2:
    YEX 142-1, mother 4, stamper RLT.
    That would be first lacquer, 4th mother and 289th stamper generated from that mother.

 

    Record plays smoothtly; no skips, repeats, or whatever. Some background noises, in particular between songs. One must not forget its age of 40 years. Vinyl shows some visual flaws, while the audio is still unaffected. Cover rubbed on left.

    If you're serious about "scanning for" Beatles collectibles, this nice item is kind of "must-have" (unless you already own that record).

    As usual at my auctions, please refer to photos below. I always spend plenty of time on visual documentation to give you guys a real chance to "take justice". I MUST NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TYPE OF (SO-CALLED) "MISUNDERSTANDINGS" - SO PLEASE STUDY BOTH DESCRITPION   A N D   ALL PHOTOS CAREFULLY, B E F O R E   YOU DECIDE TO BID!!!

    Any question?
Do not hesitate to CONTACT ME, for question should be asked BEFORE an auction's end. Just mail me, I think to be pretty flexible...

Yes, my PayPal account is VERIFIED.

Payment
How to pay, which currencies to use, what to deduct, to combine, and so on, is perfectly explained in our payment tables, attached to every item description.

However, life is what happens when you're busy making other plans: If you run into a paying-problem after end of auction, please do contact us, do it prior to any action performed by eBay. We always try (and often did) our best to find a suitable solution. Feedback scores on eBay means important reputation, in fact: it's a credit file. Do not ruin your file by hesitating to get in touch with us.

Thank you.


Shipping
Shipping costs posted in our ads include NO INSURANCE. If you'd like to have your item shipped insured, or if you prefer a different shipping service/carrier, please request related charges prior to end of auction. Basically, you should allow a response time of 24 hours.
We offer combined shipping as well as certain discounts on lots and bundles. Please see item description or send an eMail for details.

Please note that we DO NOT ship to US-Embargo-Zones (such as Cuba), to Nigeria, or Sierra Leone.
We reserve the right, too, to refuse shipping to war- or crisis areas.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON SHIPPING TIME
As soon as we drop an LP mailer at the mail office's desk, it is somewhat unpredictable how long the rest of the process will take (and totally out of our hands). Experience so far shows: same delivery took 3 days to Tokyo, seven to NYC, almost three weeks to the Philippines or MidWest United States. Even inside Germany shipping times range from one day to an entire week.
Thus: Beside a handling time of up to three business days, allow one to three weeks shipping.
Please keep all those facts in mind when finally grading our seller-skills.


Terms of Sale
We basically welcome every honest bidder, no matter what high or low her or his current feedback is.

However, there's exceptions to every rule, as they are:

• your member account shows an unpaid item strike during the last 90 days
• your member account has one or more bid retractions on file (mutually withdrawn ratings NOT included)
• you were sending unsolicited mails prior to a current auction
• you keep your feedback score private (transparency and reputation on eBay is a MUST)

If one of the above mentioned is applicable to your eBay membership, you definitely should contact us prior to bidding, for your bid otherwise is being canceled immediately.
Note: Only items listed and photographed are included in the auction. We make every attempt to accurately describe the items being sold. Since all of our auctions are considered personal sales, we DO NOT offer REFUNDS or RETURNS.
Any item on auction (bidding or fixed price) or offered in eBay Shop is S O L D A S I S.
We will not be held responsible for damages caused by transportation for items that were shipped without insurance, since Insurance is always available upon request.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON RARITIES
Records, Collectibles - regarding The Beatles in particular - is a "science" - that a fact every collector will agree with. While every individual might or might not have her or his special field of interest (and knowledge), opinions, evaluations, pricing, grading, and so on, very often strongly differ. If we encounter a record listed by us on eBay (as an auction, fixed price, or store item) being a "fake" - thus: a bootleg, reprint, or any type of "non-original" -, we will include this in our description. In fact, we already did this, for instance, regarding that legendary VeeJay-Introducing.
However, if we do NOT mention a record being a fake, we're convinced of its status as an original.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, THEN DO NOT BID ON THE RECORD, OR BUY IT.
Once you placed a bid and/or buy an item, you DO AGREE with our point of view, no matter whether or not you change your mind afterward. Nobody in the collector's world is forced to adhere to an other person's consideration(s). In case of doubts, just contact us prior to auction end to give your "approach" a chance of evaluation.

Thanks for your time.



About Us
We are a German/American couple collecting Beatles records since 1979. As an admirer of rare items, we particularly feel attracted to stuff that is "somewhat" related to the world's greatest band: The Beatles.

We already sold to customers around the globe, satisfied buyers from, for instance, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, the Philippines, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Italy, Australia, or Germany.



Contact Us
Beside the fact that we always try to describe our items as accurately as we can, providing comprehensive visual documentation as well as plenty of additional information (such as release tables and history), questions and inquiries on items at auction are certainly always welcome.

However, as late experiences have taught us, there are also lots of "spammers" on the way, blocking our bidder's contact account by repeatedly sending unsolicited mail, thus wasting precious time to be better spent on honestly interested buyers' requests.
We no longer respond to "fake mails", but immediately exclude the sender from any of our auctions. If you feel to have been excluded in error, please contact us immediately, subjecting "exclusion".
