Description
The Beatles 1967 'Made in Gt. Britain' LP 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' on Parlophone PMC 7027. What a mega landmark record which is constantly vying with 'Pet Sounds' for first place in the all time album charts.
Has all the identifiers for a first press:
- 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd.' and 'Sold in U.K...........' label texts
- Garrard & Lofthouse Ltd. laminated gatefold sleeve
- top visible flaps inside the carded sleeve
- red and white 'flame' inner sleeve
- original cut-out insert of heavier card than later issues
9 /10 for the super clean card insert.
Invariably the flame inner sleeves give out on the bottom and seam split due to the weight of the disc on what is essentially a fold of a paper bag. But this one is ok! Yes, has some creasing and age browning but is one of the cleanest I've seen. Let's say 8.5 /10 purely in respect of its' age.
So, on to the vinyl itself which is at least of medium weight, flat and shiny. The black/yellow/silver labels look pretty good as shown with evidence of just a handful of plays as evidenced by the few spindle 'snail' tracks at the centre holes.
In room daylight the disc looks very nice. When angled for inspection under the all-knowing and unforgiving desk lamp I see scuffs and hairlines and as such I rate if 7 /10 for condition.
To avoid damaging the flame sleeve I'll put the vinyl in a separate inner sleeve for transport in the mail. 99p start and free UK postage and generous elsewhere.
