Description
PMC 7027 Mono with single EMI box on labels. Superb copy that plays perfectly.
Matrix Numbers / Stampers:
Side 1 : XEX 637-1 2 MOG
Side 2 : XEX 638-1 ? MOA (mother no. looks like unrecognisable digit above a zero)
Vinyl looks EX+ clean and bright, looks perfect under normal daylight, some very light scuffing and a couple of small hairlines visible under bright light. Both sides play as they look with clean strong audio, no significant issues, no jumps, no repetitive clicks, no persistent crackle. The only minor flaw I noticed was some light surface noise at the start of “she’s leaving home’ otherwise the rest played absolutely perfectly.
The labels are clean with no handwriting, no wear to the hole and just a handful of light spindle traces on each side, visible when angled to the light.
The gatefold sleeve is EX no splits, no tears. It’s clean and glossy, no splits or significant wear, fully legible spine. Inside the gatefold the top flipbacks on both sides have some surface print loss where they were partially stuck together (pictured).
The cut outs insert is Mint.
All in all a fantastic copy of a scarce issue, hard to find one in better condition.
I have several copies of most Beatles albums, I’ve decided I can part with a few of them. However I’m in no rush, if it doesn’t sell I won’t be relisting for a while. I’m also selling a 7/7 copy of WTB with an unusual label.
The disc has been machine cleaned on my Pro-ject machine (using Pro-ject’s own alcohol free cleaning fluid) and comes in a brand new anti static lined inner.
Postage will be tracked and fully insured.

-----------------
Gradings refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard (shown below). I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records. Visual grading is done under a spotlight. Play testing is done on my Pro-ject or Rega turntable.
If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.
Record will be packaged in a proper mailer with stiffening. I will pack with the record removed from the outer sleeve.
Mint (M) - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent (EX) - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable
Good (G) - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
