Description

In this auction: 

 

·       “SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND” LP by the Beatles  

·       This LP is Capitol Records MAS - 2653.

·       This LP was issued June 1, 1967.

·       This is a MONAURAL (MONO) PRESSING.

·       This is a FIRST PRESSING MONO COPY OF THIS LP. We know this because:

1)   “Subsidiary” is not in the label’s perimeter printing.

2)   The Side 1 label has the shortened song title “A Little Help From My Friends”. (The second Mono pressing has the correct title “With a Little Help From My Friends”.)

3)   First Pressing Covers do NOT credit Maclen Music  or NEMS Enterprises. (Later covers added this information in vertical printing to the lower right corner of the rear cover.)

·       The vinyl comes in its properly marked MONO cover (MAS  2653)

·       The VINYL has the “0” in the trail-off wax. This is the symbol Capitol Records used to identify vinyl pressed at its Jacksonville Pressing Plant.

·       The COVER is in VG CONDITION. There is some wear on the front cover in the blue sky area at the top. There is also some light to moderate wear on the red rear cover as you can see in the images. There is also some light wear on the top corners and moderate wear on the bottom corners. There is light to moderate wear on the bottom seam, but there are NO seam splits. There are also NO tears and NO writing on this cover.     

·       The VINYL is in NICE/STRONG VG CONDITION with light/surface hairlines/scuffs (none are “feelable”). The vinyl has lots of gloss.

·       It comes with its ORIGINAL CUSTOM RED, PINK and WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE that has a 2-inch split on the bottom and a 2-inch split on one side. 

·       It also comes with the ORIGINAL POSTER-BOARD CUT-OUTS INSERT that has NO blemishes.    

·       The MONO version of this LP, especially FIRST PRESSINGS, has become VERY DESIREABLE. (I once read that John Lennon had remarked that you haven’t really heard Sgt. Pepper as it was intended to sound if you haven’t heard it in the original Mono.)
