The Beatles: Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Mono 1st Press. EXTRA DOT. VG+

PLAY TESTED SUNDAY MARCH 27TH

The audio is stunning, and only recently acquiring the record myself, I was surprised at just how good it is. It really is an upgrade on the copies most people have. It’s that good.

Even on the run in on either side, there is very little static/crackle etc.

Very quiet even between tracks, though I heard a few barely audible clicks during She’s Leaving Home’.

Even during ‘Within You Without You’, notorious for being slightly muffled by ‘crackles/pops’ etc, due to the nature of the track, the audio is unblemished.

Very minor crackles on play out of A Day In The Life (as piano note fades).

I’d describe the overall audio experience as minimum excellent (I’ve heard more pops/crackles etc on brand new vinyl). It really is superb.

Visually, again the vinyl is excellent, with very few obvious marks/hairlines.

I’d describe the whole package, as VG+, with an audio quality of excellent.

I tend to be quite conservative in my gradings/descriptions, as I know how disappointing it can be when you purchase a record that doesn’t measure up to the grading, and my previous feedback, which is 100% positive, will indicate the honesty and reliability of my gradings.

The item will be despatched by Royal Mail 2nd class signed for, at a cost of £4.20, plus 50p to cover the EBay p&p fees.
