Original UK 1st press of the classic Beatles LP “Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band” LP

Mono pressing. KT Tax Code on label.

NO ORIGINAL CUTOUTS INSERT OR “FOOLS” INNER (I have included NM facsimile copies from a 2017 pressing)

Matrix numbers/Mothers/Stampers

Side A: YEX 637-1 /6/RHM

Side B: YEX 638-1 /8/RGP

Vinyl Condition:

The vinyl looks pretty rough. Lots of non feelable scuffs and marks. Light scratches and what looks like a couple of hot rock burns on first side. Visual grade is around G+. It’s fully play tested and plays much much better than it looks. A real testament to the quality of these 1960s mono pressings. A little light background crackle on the intros and a few quiet sections but otherwise pretty clear and loud audio. The dead space before “She’s Leaving Home” has a loud repetitive click, and the track does have a barely audible click through the first half too. Otherwise it plays really well. The play grade (except for the above mentioned track) is VG+ throughout, and “She’s Leaving Home” is VG and still a very enjoyable listen. Overall grade given is VG. In brief it looks dreadful but plays really well. No sticks, jumps, or overpowering background noise. A few light crackles here and there. Has the psychedelic locked groove at the end of side B.

Sleeve Condition:

The Gatefold sleeve is VG+ to EX with a little light storage wear and the spine is creased down the centre from the fold. It’s in pretty tidy condition.

Brand new poly lined inner plus later (2017) cut out sheet and reproduction fools inner all NM.

Overall this certainly isn’t in mint condition and looks rough. Obviously well played but genuinely still sounds pretty good.
