CAPITOL (MAS 2653) 1967 ORIGINAL RAINBOW LABEL MONO W/INSERT & INNER SLEEVE
"Each decade brings but one or two authentically memorable moments. As a rule, only war, or some fearful tragedy, can penetrate the preoccupations of millions in the same moment to produce a single, concerted emotion. And yet, in June 1967, such an emotion arose, not from death or trepidation, but from the playing of a gramophone record. There are, to this day, thousands of Britons and Americans who can remember where they were and what they were doing at the moment they first listened to Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. That music, as powerful as the Kennedy assassination or the first moon landing, summons up an exact time and place, an emotion undimmed by time or aging. The memory is the same to all -- how they first drew the shining disc from its gaudy sleeve; how they could not believe it at first and had to play it all through again, over and over." - Phillip Norman ("Shout" p. 292)
As clean a copy of the original US mono pressing as I have found. This plays M- start to finish, the visual grade on the vinyl is between VG++ and VG+ with some light scuffing only. The cover is strong VG++ with a sharp spine and no cover wear, it is downgraded from M- because of one tiny (1/8 inch) start of a split at the opening top right, that's it. The inner sleeve and insert sheet are both here and in M- shape. Seriously beautiful copy of the original US monaural pressing. Includes a sheet that describes all the differences between the mono & stereo mixes.
* First press mono with no "NEMS" on the back cover (lower left corner). See photo.
