This record came from the collection of a woman who owned a record store in the 60s and 70s. She had hundreds of "NFS" (see stamp on cover pic) titles that were intended for record stores and many were were highly collectible 1st pressings. This isn't a 1st pressing of Sgt. Pepper's, but it is the 1st issue of the picture disc version.
Vinyl Playback Grade is G+ Jacket is VG
please see playback grading descriptions below
I played the entire record and there were no skips or repeats, but YOU might get skips. Picture discs are not known for their stellar playback quality (it even admits as much on the jacket lol) and even though I didn't experience skips on my turntable, you still might. You will also hear surface noise between tracks and during softer passages, but not always.  What I noticed is that the record starts off sounding quite noisy, but by the time you get to A Day In The Life the surface isn't that bad. Even by the time you get to She's Leaving Home the playback quality will have improved, but still: Bid on this record with the assumption that it will not have great playback. If you're one of those people that find it charming to have a little "snap crackle & pop" when you spin your vintage vinyl then this record is for you!
Please review the pictures for further details on the condition of the jacket.
Your record will be shipped in a cardboard LP mailer and wrapped in shipper's wrap inside for further moisture protection. The record will be removed from the jacket and placed in the inner sleeve outside of the cover (and secured with cardboard) so that it doesn't slide around inside the jacket and create damage during transit. If the record has a unique picture sleeve the record will be placed in a generic poly-sleeve or recycled sleeve for shipping.

If you have any special packing requests contact me BEFORE making payment so that I can adjust the shipping costs accordingly. Please do not bother to send me a message with packing instructions after payment as it will be disregarded.

REGARDING SHIPPING: The default shipping option that you see is Media Mail which is inexpensive, but sometimes unpredictable with no guaranteed delivery time. I have shipped over 2000 records using Media Mail without any hassles, but there have been a few instances where the record took a month to arrive and was stuck at a sorting facility for two or more weeks. If you want a faster method with a guaranteed delivery time I suggest that you choose the Priority Mail option.

My Grading System Definitions:
NM -  10/10 playback quality. Record is open, but sounds like new
EX -   9/10 playback quality. Might have a minor playback disruption or two, but nearly perfect in playback otherwise
VG++ 8/10 playback quality. Will have more minor disruptions than EX but still really good playback
VG+ - 7/10 playback quality. Will have light surface noise between tracks and maybe during fades and softer passages
VG   - 6/10 playback quality. Will have evident surface noise between tracks and softer passages/fades, but won't disrupt the listening experience most of the time. Might have ticks as well.
VG- - 5/10 playback quality. Will have obvious surface noise all the time, but not necessarily ticks or pops.
G+  - 4/10 playback quality. Will be crackly with some pops and ticks
G    - 3/10 playback quality. Will be crackly with plenty of pops and ticks
F    - 2/10 will have skips and likely be very crackly with ticks and pops. Likely warped as well.
W   - 1/10 will have skips and/or repeats. Will have lots of "snap crackle and pop" and probably warped as well.
