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 has a lovely glosssy sheen in appearance and sits flat to the surface. Beautiful labels and spindle holes.  There are a couple of very light no feel surface lines and one ultra thin feelable trail which i have tried to picture. Spindle trails can be seen at an angle.

The outer GATEFOLD cover is good for age with no splits or tears. Has dirt, age discolouration/wear to the corners/edges/spine as to be expected for an item of this age, and some crinkles to the outer protective film.

The green Peter Blake cutouts are great as seem to have been kept inside the gatefold. Has minor imperfections.

The often missing Red Fool's Swirl protective inner is included although it has seen better days  has seam splits, tape to the bottom, penmanship and some nic's.

OVERALL A NICE ORIGINAL PIECE TO ADD TO YOUR MUSICAL COLLECTION!!!
