Description
The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album is a highly prized possession for music lovers. This first edition, first pressing vinyl is a rare find for collectors. The record label is Parlophone, and the catalogue number is PMC 7027. The album contains some of the band's most iconic songs and is in English. The vinyl grading is Very Good Plus (VG+), and the sleeve grading is also Very Good Plus (VG+). It comes in a cardboard sleeve, with a wide spine and original cover. The album also includes original inner sleeve "fools inner" and Peter Blake Cutouts. The vinyl matrix number is XEX 637-1, with M.A.R Stamper & XEX 638-1, with M.A.L Stampers so really early first press and it was produced by George Martin. The record size is 12" and has a mono audio channel. This LP is perfect for fans of Pop and Rock from the 1960s era.
Decoding the UK EMI matrix:
At 6 o clock is the matrix number with a dash number. In this case it is XEX 637-1
Dash 1 indicates the 1st lacquer made. -2 would be the second, etc.
At 3 o clock is the stamper code. The code works like this:
GRAMOPHONELTD
123456789,10,11,12,13
The letter above is code for the corresponding number below. Example: the stamper code is "MAR" in the record I,m selling.
This corresponds to the numbers M = 4. A = 3. R = 2. Stamper is #432
Millions off records were sold in the early weeks off Beatles releases so 432 is in the first 500 stampers.
