The Beatles - Sgt Pepper's
..Label / Catalogue number : Parlaphone / PMS7027
..Year of release : 1967
Special Information : The “Fourth Proof” sleeve represents the earliest possible pressing of the Sgt Pepper cover. The Fourth Proof was the final version of the various ‘prototypes’ that were explored by the Beatles when the cover was being designed. The cover (and text) was approved by the Beatles and an initial very small ‘test’ run was undertaken to make sure everything looked OK. This small test run is characterised by the inverted “Fourth Proof” text in the top right hand corner of the inner gatefold – just above George Harrison’s head. This is therefore the earliest possible ‘prototype’ (test pressing) cover. Same fold-back have can printed text “AR D1321? which was probably the reference number for the prototype text that was used.

..Condition ..1) Disc : ..Vinyl - Visual : Very Good - surface marks and light scratches
..Vinyl - Audio : Very Good plus. occasional light background noise, most apparant on within with out you.
Due to the difficulty in discribing how a record plays / sounds I have invested in the appropiate systems to allow you to listen to the record in full, thus you can decide the play condition of the vinyl. I would judge this record as excellent, but listen and draw your own conclusions. But note recording process reduces everything down to a two track, this allows all background noise to be heard, but does not give a true realisation of the full rich sound of the vinyl itself.
..Sleeve : Very Good minus - The original cover is in used condition, there is general corner wear to all corners and the spine is split (2 cm) also spine text is worn. pin holes present on sleeve (see pictures). With original fools inner sleeve.
