The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, vinyl LP (# PCS 7027)
This is a copy of the Beatles classic 1970 double LP, Sgt Pepper, UK pressing with the 'one box EMI' black/ silver label (with The Gramophone Co. text on the rim of label). 
The pressing conforms with the following Discogs details:
http://www.discogs.com/Beatles-Sgt-Peppers-Lonely-Hearts-Club-Band/release/2088661
The sleeve, which is gatefold, is in a reasonable condition, quite shiny, with few scratches, although the spline is cracked in a few places and is a little dirty. The inner sleeve photo is in a good condition, although again the spline is a little cracked and some of the laminate is coming off just on the spline.
The record comes with the Sgt. Pepper cut-outs cardboard flier and this is in a very good condition.
Unfortunately, the vinyl is showing its age and is not in a good condition. There are a fair few scratches and a lot of crackling and surface noise. This is particularly bad on latter part of first track (the lucy in sky part), on 6th track (she's leaving home) and on 7th (Mr Kite). A couple of the second side tracks are ok, but there is a lot of clicking on the others. 
Due to the condition of the vinyl I am starting this auction at a low price.
