Vinyl LP Record - The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - 1967 OG!
This is one of the EARLY 1967 SMAS 2653 US PRESSINGS from the Jacksonville plant. Has the yellow STEREO band on top and other 1967 identifiers. Sounds GREAT!
Outer Sleeve Grade: VG- (No poster, generic inner. Gatefold seams all have some splitting, though the record does sit nicely in the gatefold and will look good on your shelf.)

Vinyl Grade: VG (Vinyl has some visible wear, though a lot of the record plays through at at strong VG+. Background noise never overwhelms the music, and the vinyl sounds crisp and clear a lot of the time - not much microgroove distortion. There are a few places where noise is audible, but no skips or warps. This is not a mint audiophile copy, but is a GREAT daily player and an amazing piece of history!)

ALL RECORDS ARE CLEANED ON A VPI VACUUM TABLE. NO DUST! READY TO PLAY!
ALL RECORDS HAVE BEEN FULLY PLAY-TESTED ON A PROFESSIONAL TURNTABLE AND GRADED BY HOW THEY *SOUND* - NOT JUST HOW THEY *LOOK*
READ MY FEEDBACK FROM SATISFIED RECORD BUYERS AND TRUST MY GRADING! MY HIGHEST GRADE IS VG+ - SEE BELOW FOR MY GRADING GUIDE.

My Grading Scale for Vinyl:

VG+: Record may have a few scuffs/hairlines but will otherwise look great. Will sound great as well - no significant crackling or hissing to distract from enjoyment of playback on even the best equipment. If there are are shorter passages with light crackling/hissing, I will do my best to note them in the description. VG+ records should satisfy all but the most sensitive audiophiles, and if you are concerned, feel free to message me and I'll re-listen to the record and give you detailed play notes.
VG: Record may have visible scratching/scuffing/blemishes. May have some light crackling/hissing during playback or a few audible pops. Record will still be satisfactory for most buyers - a fine daily player on all systems, perfect for parties or casual listening. If you have a lower end system and/or you don't mind a little crackling on playback, you'll be fine with VG. If you're super sensitive, stick to VG+.

VG-: Record may have a few major scratches or audible crackling/hissing during entire playback. If you're looking for a nice budget copy of a great album, VG- is fine and it'll still probably sound decent on a low end system with heavy tracking force. If you aren't picky at all and just want to put the album on and listen to it, you'll enjoy a VG- record.
G+: I'll generally only grade a record G+ if there's something wrong with it, like a warp that makes the first part of a song unplayable or something. If you're looking at a G+ record of mine, READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION.
