Background...

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released on 26 May 1967,[nb 1] Sgt. Pepper is regarded by musicologists as an early concept album that advanced the roles of sound composition, extended form, psychedelic imagery, record sleeves, and the producer in popular music. The album had an immediate cross-generational impact and was associated with numerous touchstones of the era's youth culture, such as fashion, drugs, mysticism, and a sense of optimism and empowerment. Critics lauded the album for its innovations in songwriting, production and graphic design, for bridging a cultural divide between popular music and high art, and for reflecting the interests of contemporary youth and the counterculture.

The vinyl is lovely, It has a beautiful glossy sheen and sits completely flat with no warping. Clean /fresh labels and fab spindle holes!!! There are a couple of NON feelable surface marks  but otherwise beautiful.

The outer gatefold is excellent, no splits or tears  - has retained a beautiful glossy appearance and only has the usual discolouration/wear to the corners as to be expected for an item of this age.

The original dark green 'Peter Blake' cutouts outs are EX / NR MINT.

The original red & white 'Fool's Swirl' inner completes this set. It has a lovely deep colour with splits to seams.

OVERALL A RARE FIND TO ADD TO YOUR MUSICAL HISTORY COLLECTION!!!
