Hi and thanks for looking at my listing. 

The LP has been owned by me from new and rarely, and very carefully, played. 

I am also selling more of my Beatles collections so please also see other listings.

THE BEATLES  - 

'Sgt PEPPERS LONELY HEART CLUB BAND'

NEAR MINT - RARE FIRST PRESS PMS 7027 PARLOPHONE FIRST EDITION LP PRODUCED IN FRANCE ONLY BETWEEN 1973 TO 1976 THEREFORE QUITE RARE TO FIND

WITH “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” printed on the back of the cover

EMI's subsidiary labels changed their perimeter copyright text, on albums replacing the name of the subsidiary label to 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD'.  It is therefore an early "Parlophone" label.

ALSO INCLUDES 

ORIGINAL SLEEVE

INNER CUT-OUT

PRESS MATRICES:

Matrix / Runout (Side A, stamped) YEX 637-21 Matrix / Runout (Side B, stamped) YEX 638-21 

CONDITION 

THE RECORD IS NEAR MINT ,LOVELY, WITH A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WHICH ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT.  PLAYED VERY INFREQUENTLY AND CAREFULLY OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS, SUPERB !!!

I CAN ONLY SEE A COUPLE OF FAINT SLEEVE REMOVAL MARKS/ HAIRLINES IN TOTAL ON BOTH SIDES - ONLY WHEN VINYL IS TILTED, UNDER A LIGHT  DEFINITELY NOT FEELABLE. NO EFFECT AT ALL ON MY AUDIO PLAYBACK, LOVELY CONDITION !!! (SEE PICS).  A GREAT AUDIO EXPERIENCE WHEN PLAYED ON MY TURNTABLE,

THE CENTRE LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (SEE PICS) WITH SOME TINY SPINDLE MARKS.

THE OUTER SLEEVE IS REALLY GOOD OVERALL. THERE IS SOME BUBBLING JUST OFF CENTRE LEFT. THE CUT-OUT INSERT IS IN PERFECT CONDITON AND THE INNER SLEEVE IS VERY GOOD. THE RECORD ITSELF IS NEAR MINT TO EXCELLENT ++   (SEE PICS)
