Unfortunately due to some time restrictions I'm not able to thoroughly grade my new listings as much as I'd like to. My apologies in advance for this, and also for the poorer quality of the photos. 


The Beatles
SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND 
1969-1971 UK EMI "One Box" Stereo Pressing
PARLOPHONE PCS 7027 : MATRIX NOs YEX-637-1/YEX-638-1
(Same matrix that is used on the Y/B first pressings!)


Visually the vinyl has some really concerning marks that look like scratches to Side 1, but it plays through a lot better than it looks and surprisingly the LP never skips or jumps anywhere at all. The sound of the marks being played over is drowned out by the music / surface noise. There are a few rotational ticks heard at the ending of "Lucy In The Sky" and some other rotational ticks / pops throughout the album. Surface noise is present but never obnoxious and I'd argue that without those marks, the record would be an easy VG from me. I'm giving it Good + but that's only factoring in the way it still plays despite how it's looking.

The cover is in a generally Very Good condition with signs of age but nothing major to be said about it. It looks as though it may be a later issue Garrod & Lofthouse cover as it is unlaminated and they print their covers like this until the 1980s. It does have the appropriate stereo indicators and is holding up good.

  Unfortunately the original inner it came with has had it's seams completely destroyed by age / wear and tear. I'll include a free replacement sleeve from the era to protect the record in postage.


Original UK -1 / -1 Stereo Tube Cutting Matrices ~ A great sounding pressing and the same matrix used on the Y/B pressings :)

I'm willing to combine postage on multiple purchases. Any questions, please give me a shout! Thank you
